When the weather warms up we fire up the grill at least once a week, and experimenting with new ideas is part of the fun. My in-laws in California were raving about grilled lettuce during a recent Skype call, so I searched for a recipe to try. We loved it and I’m excited to share it here.
Sticky Raspberry Lemon Rolls are simplified using frozen dough and finished with a bright, lemon cream cheese frosting.
I adore raspberries—their balance of tartness and sweetness is irresistible. I often buy them just to snack on, saving them from the fate of being altered in a recipe. For these rolls, though, frozen raspberries work perfectly and pair beautifully with the convenience of frozen Rhodes dough.

These raspberry lemon rolls were my Easter treat and they turned out so well I had to share the recipe. The bottom of the pan becomes wonderfully sticky from the raspberry juices while a tangy lemon cream cheese frosting balances the sweetness on top. They’re great warm from the oven or served at room temperature.

Note: This post reflects the author’s experience and opinions.
Gingersnaps are one of my favorite seasonal cookies, and I thought they would pair beautifully with hearty rolled oats. In colder months we enjoy hot oatmeal for breakfast, so I decided to add old-fashioned oats to a gingersnap dough for extra chew and texture. The result is a soft, spiced cookie with visible oat flakes and a satisfying bite.
