Double chocolate pecan pie. With bourbon. Is there anything better? I love desserts of all kinds. As much as I like making them, I like eating them. I waited in line for an hour for cookies in Amsterdam once. I don’t know what my favorite type of dessert would be if you asked me, but [...]
Try this interesting twist on a common way to use leftover pie crust! If you’re like me, this is the time of year that you’re baking more pies than any other. Do you make your own pie crust ?(You should — it’s not that hard!) you will inevitably have more pie crust than you need. [...]
Canned vs fresh pumpkin pie. Worth it? Hmmm… I’ve made lots of pumpkin pies in my life. But never with fresh pumpkin. Lots of reasons really. I don’t really like cutting up squash. How? Canned pumpkin is so easy. Time. I mean, every time I’ve made a pumpkin pie, I’ve had lots of other things [...]
Homemade lavender caramels anyone? You might know I’m a big fan of lavender around here. And butterscotch. And caramel. So what could be better than homemade lavender caramels? Not much that I have found. Now, before I talk about how perfect this recipe is, I feel like I have to be honest about what’s involved. [...]
A chocolate fudge mug cake that works?!? I save recipes every single day. Many are dinner recipes, but the majority of the recipes I save are desserts. I have dessert recipes saved from years ago that I’ve never made, and will continue to save them to this day. The reason I don’t make them is [...]
I know that you don’t need another chocolate chip cookie recipe. There are a million out there. But what about one made with both milk and dark chocolate, browned butter, and coffee? With a topping of crunchy sea salt on top. One that you don’t need a mixer for. This recipe is extra special. It’s [...]
Apricot cake might be my newest favorite dessert. I’m a dessert person for sure. I will almost always get dessert in a restaurant. Much to my husband’s dismay. But I will almost always pick desserts with chocolate or caramel or nuts over fruit. Don’t get me wrong — I like fruit desserts, especially in the summer. [...]
An easy peach and apricot jam recipe? Yes, please! I love jam. At any given time, I probably have 5 jars in my fridge, and an unopened one or two jars in my pantry. My favorite is apricot, hands down. In the summer, I sometimes go overboard with fruit. Especially peaches and apricots. You can’t [...]
I was gifted a large box of peaches a couple days ago. What better to do with them than make a peach pie with browned butter crust? These are not just any peaches. These are the kind that makes summer worth it to me. They’re juicy and sweet and so full of flavor. I would [...]
When I was younger, my grandpa made the best banana bread. He always put tons of walnuts in it, because he knew I loved nuts. It was one of my favorite things he made. These days, I make banana bread when I have a few bananas that are past their prime. Doesn’t everyone do that? [...]
Here's all the social media sites people tell me I need to be on. You can (kinda) find me on these. The only one guaranteed to get you a quick response is email, so try that first.
