Sarah is one of my really good friends and I am so excited to post some of her recipes! She is so cute and organized and sent me a bunch of her favorite recipes that she already had typed up and ready to use whenever she needed them. I couldn't decide which ones to choose (because they all look so good)so I thought I would post a few of her recipes here and there. Here are three of her dessert recipes.
