Something about spring puts me in the perfect mood for fruit desserts. Even if most of our fruit isn't quiiiiite in season yet, it's definitely time for some sweet and tart flavor only fresh fruit can delivery. So I've pulled together some positively ambrosial fruit dessert recipes -- some classic, others surprising but tempting. Here's eight fruit desserts I'd love to try this spring.

I live with a cheddar cheese addict. My son loves the stuff, and we always have a block of it in our refrigerator. And who can blame him? It's salty and tangy, and it melts like a dream as long as you don't overcook it. Needless to say, we eat a lot of quesadillas and grilled cheese sandwiches. But those are getting kind of old, so I'm looking for other ways to use cheddar. Here are eight recipes using cheddar cheese.

Looking for a nutritious, delicious dinner that your whole family will love? Silly question -- of course you are. Aren't we all ... always? Well, have I got one for you. It's called Oh My Goodness Chicken, and it's amazing.

I originally saw it flying around on Pinterest and gave it a try one night. I was glad I did. It's moist, crunchy, and flavorful, and it couldn't be easier. My kids and husband loved it, and it's one that immediately was entered into our regular dinner rotation. While there are various adaptations of the recipe, the following is the combination I've found we like best.

Are you ready to fiesta? Tomorrow is one of the most delicious holidays of the year -- Cinco de Mayo. From breakfast (huevos rancheros) to dinner (tacos, enchiladas, and tamales, oh my), it's a day filled with fantastic food inspiration, be it traditional Mexican or more of the Tex-Mex variety.

When it comes to dessert, these adorable margarita cupcakes can't be beat as they go with anything. The recipe from Just a Pinch calls for tequila in the cupcakes and in the rich creamy frosting, so they've definitely got a kick. Leave it out of some if you're serving kids or others who don't drink. Ole!

Happy almost-Cinco de Mayo -- the holiday celebrated more in America than in Mexico. In the state of Puebla, the holiday is called El Día de la Batalla de Puebla and commemorates a battle the Mexican army won against French forces in 1862. (Mexican Independence Day is September 16.) The holiday is still celebrated in Puebla, a region famous for its complicated but amazing mole sauces.

Here in the U.S., Cinco de Mayo has become a celebration of Mexican heritage. So when it comes to traditional Cinco de Mayo party food, almost anything Mexican-ish goes. Even Tex-Mex and California-style burritos. But here's a few of my favorite picks.

In the world of chocolate chip cookies, you have your pick -- of chewy, crunchy, crispy, cake-like, etc. And everyone has their own preference, of course, but I'm not sure you can go wrong when you come upon a chocolate chip cookie recipe that basically just melts in your mouth. And there's absolutely no better way to achieve that effect than baking up a batch of chocolate chip shortbread cookies.

Thanks to the easy (only 5 ingredients! Really!), buttery recipe, they're crunchy on the outside and mouthwateringly melty once you've taken the first bite. How can you resist?! Nom nom nom!

When it comes to perfect springtime desserts, I can't think of one better than angel food cake. It's light, fluffy, and delicious topped with some fresh whipped cream and fruit. Not to mention the fact that it's fat-free so it won't blow your bikini dreams as we head into summer.

Sure, you could make it from a box, but this recipe for a homemade version from The Idea Room is so easy and much more delicious too. It only takes a few ingredients, and when it's done, you can top it any way you like it. It's nothing short of heavenly. (Note: You don't have to have an angel food cake pan, a bread loaf pan works fine too.)

I don't know about you, but we love pizza at our place. We love pizza from the pizza joint around the corner, and we love making our own pizza at home. But for the ultimate pizza-inspired snack, there's pizza roll-ups made with crescent rolls. They're kind of like hot pockets without all the creepy, mysterious ingredients. Calzones without the insane calorie count. Best of all, they're fun and easy enough for kids to make with you. Here's a recipe for making your own crescent pizza roll-ups.
