Summer calls for a little more sweetness, wouldn't ya say?

I mean just the vast amount of fruit in season and extended days are pretty darn sweet as it is!

Wanted to share these 5 fun, summer-y, sweet treats with you today.

If you enjoy those and want a collection of FORTY-TWO just like 'em, I'm excited to share the BRAND NEW Sweet Surrender: Summer Real Food Desserts e-cookbook with you. It's available for purchase now and for a limited time -- ya know ...seasonal things. ;-) There is something for everyone in this collection. Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, not vegan, just sweet, sweet + tart / savory, 3-ingredient and 5-minute options, more traditional baking-type options, plenty to have outdoors on the grill or campfire too!

There are no ice pop recipes in that collection because I made a whole ice pop collection for you for free recently! If you missed it, here it is. And a printer-friendly version is here.

Keep in mind ... these are indulgences! They are not PFF-balanced. They are meant to be occasional, fun + nostalgic treats but made with more wholesome ingredients than most indulgences have.

Hope you're having a pretty SWEET week so far (see what I did there?)!

XO,
Tara
