8 of the best desserts for your summer BBQ.

A few of my favorite bloggers and the most delish desserts to make for your next summer BBQ! Sometimes, just cutting up a watermelon or serving store bought cookies just doesn’t cut it.  Plus you won’t be killing all the hard work you did at the gym and the dinner table all week. Check out some of my favs here.

Best Ever GF Cocoa Brownies

Crepes for Breakfast

Growing up with a French au pair, these crepes bring me back to after school in 6th grade. Light and hot, she always made them with apples and cinnamon.

NO! I don't mean anything sinister; I mean... your @topochicohardseltzerusa

I have tasted a ton of these but this one was created using MINERAL WATER. Yes, minerals in your cocktails. What else can we ask for? 
 
Well.... it comes in FOUR great flavors that I just adore. It's the only hard seltzer inspired by Topo Chico Mineral Water's legendary taste. Tangy Lemon Lime is my choice. What flavor is your favorite?
