I just got my first batch of peaches for the summer. Juicy and sweet, peaches are one of my favorite summer fruits. Before I make a pie or cobbler, I wanted to do something simple with them, but not just eat as is — boring! That’s where this recipe comes in. Super easy, but also an [...]
Fruit is my favorite part of summer. Well, one of the only things I like about summer, but that’s another story. One of my favorite summer fruits are cherries, specifically the tart variety you usually find in pies, but I’m also a fan of berries in any variety. I’ve made these fruit crisps with both, [...]
i love strawberries in the spring. especially for strawberry shortcake. they’re nothing like the berries you get at the grocery store in the winter — sweet, juicy, bursting with flavor. strawberry desserts, usually aren’t my thing however. don’t get me wrong, i’ll almost always eat them, but i wouldn’t go to an ice cream shop [...]
I am not a vegan, but I like to try vegan dishes, and especially vegan desserts. If I can make them myself and it’s easy, that’s a win in my book. Even better if it’s super impressive, filled with chocolate, and topped with fresh berries. Like this one. I made this for a friend’s birthday, [...]
I have an easy method for fruit pies, which is basically just to put fruit in a bowl with some sugar and flour or cornstarch, mix it up and bake it in a pie crust. It turns out perfectly every time, and is super easy to make. I’ve used this same method for all kinds [...]
An easy strawberry shortcake granola recipe that is the perfect snack. I love early spring — there are more sunny days than gray ones and the skies are blue. It’s also almost time for some of my favorite produce. Asparagus. Leeks. And perhaps my favorite — strawberries. Store-bought strawberries are rarely as good as the kind you [...]
I remember the days when making a gluten-free carrot cake recipe would have been a hassle. “Gluten-free” meant a variety of expensive flours, getting the mix just right, and then ending up with a product that you would eat, but only because it cost so much time and effort to make. Now, gluten-free flours are [...]
I like it when I can take a homemade treat to a party and people are really impressed by it, but in reality it’s so simple that literally anyone can make it. This Almond Joy chocolate bark is exactly that. It’s broken into uneven pieces so it’s not super fancy, kind of rustic even. It [...]
I used to work at a bakery that made scones. Berry, chocolate chip, cranberry, and my favorite: Cinnamon chip. Because there’s not much better than butter and cinnamon, in my opinion. We made batch after batch all day everyday, but I still enjoyed my early morning (4am!) cinnamon scone with fresh coffee. I miss working [...]
I’ve made a lot of gluten free desserts in my day, and it’s usually hit or miss whether they’ll be good. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve made some good ones (like these!) but you never know until you try it. But these. Oh, these blondies. They’re fudgy and chewy and rich. With a buttery, nutty [...]
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.
