Honey Roasted Plums with Fresh Thyme and Greek Yogurt
This weekend I want out! Out of the kitchen and into a pool. Out of these clothes and into a bathing suit. Out of this computer and into a poolside book and cocktail situation.
I want you out too. I don’t want you in the kitchen all weekend. Don’t you think your time would be much better spent in sunglasses and a big floppy hat with your feet up by the pool!? Good. I’m glad we agree.
If you’re celebrating the 4th of July this weekend, be sure to say things like “Go America!” and watch colors explode in the sky if you can. It’s fun.
If you’re not celebrating America’s independence… well heck… I think a weekend by the pool is still in order. You just don’t have to scream things like “Go America!” unless you really want to.
Here are the recipes that will keep you out of all day kitchen adventures and magically keep your bellies satisfied.
Let us explore.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
S’mores Brownies. Heck yes!
Dutch Baby with Orange Sugar. Easiest breakfast ever.
Crunchy Oven Baked Fries with Herbes de Provence
Proscuitto Dijon and Gruyere Puffs
Summer Sweet Raspberry Lemonade. You know you’re thirsty.
Homemade Kettle Corn. Because I’ve eaten it everyday since I posted the recipe. Seriously.

This summer weather is just perfect for pool laziness :) And with a tall glass of some of your delicious looking Raspberry Lemonade – who could resist? Happy Fourth of July :D
Mmmm smores brownies… Have a good weekend!
YUM. Thanks for the recipe roundup.
Dear Joy,
I just don’t think there is any further need to look at Martha Stewart magazines or other food info sites. You seem to have everything right here at ‘Joy the Baker’. Every recipe you post I want to try. Your photos are incredible and the thoughts you share are fun and quite enjoyable to read. Thank-you!
FABULOUS! Thanks for ALL the great ideas.
If you need me I’ll be in the park – at the pool with my 10 year old neice!
Go America!
All these look so DAMN good and that Dutch Baby OMG – I need to run out and get a cast iron skillet just to make this one!!
I’ll take one peanut butter chocolate chip cookie please.
Thanks!
Everything, looks so so good., just everything! I am super tempted to make the gruyere puffs you know.
Well, as I’m on the other side of the world and it’s the middle of winter here, I won’t be doing the pool thing!
But there are definitely still recipes here for me – cookies are good in any weather!
wow these are just fantastic……….tempting!
OMG….DELICIOUS!!!!! YUM!!!! Too bad I’m moving downstairs this weekend…sigh.
…Deeelish! I think I’m gonna go for the S’mores Brownies to take to a bbq this Saturday – thanks for the recipe! :o)
…Have a happy and safe July 4th Joy and thanks for having such an awesome site!

Oh man, your posts make me so hungry!
Been an admirer of your blog for sometime. Your S’more Brownies look scrumptious! Will have to try those one wkend :)
Oh, I adore fruit and thyme. Just made thyme strawberry cupcakes. And, that dutch baby looks like heaven.
Where to start? I would love one of each, please. Starting with the dutch baby. Get in my belly, baby!
I love Dutch Babies, well at least the gourmet kind. These look wonderful. Peanut butter and chocolate are my two favorite foods. The cookies are a must.
What an amazing array of delicious food!! Have a great 4th Joy. Thank you for all these beautiful pictures!
I just love peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, the chocolate just adds something special to the peanut butter.
marvellous recipes especially the roasted plums :)
All these are perfect recipes for Summer days. Never heard of that plum recipe, it sounds amazing.
How I’d love to be at a table with all of these things spread out upon it so I could feast on them all!!! :)
Hope you had a deliriously happy 4th! GO AMERICA!
I was just thinking – literally- how my greek yogurt usual needed a change. Honey plums. Thanks and be well!
I just want those french fries for my mid morning snack.
…basically, I’m really hungry for french fries this morning! What’s the deal?
