Desserts and the Desert

After living in the Mojave for over a year I have come to accept the summer and the triple digit temperatures.

When the weather is hot, I like to eat lighter and cooler foods. Therefore, the desert has had a nice side effect on my waistline.

One thing that I find I cannot resist during the summer, or any other time for that matter, is dessert.

I started wondering, what is my favorite dessert? Do I have one that is really top on the list, I can't pass it up no matter the season? Yes, yes I do. My all time top of the list is fresh baked chocolate chip cookies.

I know, they are warm, so it does not make sense. However, I can't pass them up! Nothing is better than a couple of fresh baked cookies and a tall glass of cold milk.

Since living out here, I have had some great cool temperature desserts. They do not beat my cookies, but they are still pretty irresistable.

For example, I went to the student art show and they had strawberries on top of a cool whip and chocolate covered waffle cone mixture. Oh it was delightful!

My neighbor had a key lime frozen thing on top of a crust of crushed oreos.

Brownies topped with ice cream and drizzled chocolate and caramel seem to be a staple at the restaurants around here.

So what is your favorite?

Have you had anything great this summer? Or are you looking forward to anything?
