I don't know about you, but I love everything about summer. Ok, well maybe not the extreme heat and humidity, but I love all the fruits, vegetables, long nights and warm weather. I am always looking for new, creative, light dessert recipes so I thought I'd share a few delicious ones that I can't wait to try!

One of my favorite summer treats can be made year round, but I love it because you don't have to turn the oven on. That's so important on these hot summer days! These Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are made in the slow cooker! They are so crazy easy to prepare, healthy and AMAZING! I urge you to make these soon. The recipe is here.

And how could I forget my pretty Lemony Cookie Bars? These are straight out of The Greek Yogurt Cookbook and are insanely delicious!

What is your favorite summer dessert?

Cookies made in a slow cooker, sounds intriguing. But the lemony cookies may be my favorite. I love citrus!
