Mini Samoa Bundt Cakes
I think it’s safe to say that the only reason I make it through these last days of winter is because I have Girl Scout cookies to look forward to every year. Ever since I was a wee Girl Scout myself (oh I’m totes not kidding) I’ve either been peddling the popular treats or shoveling them into my mouth like a cookie monster. Or both. For many years now I’ve stuck firmly to the camp of the Samoa cookie (or as I first knew them, the Cara... Read More

Salted caramel is appearing everywhere these days – in cookies, brownies, cakes, and drinks. But what is it about the dark amber substance that is so addicting and keeps us coming back for more?

Egg Nog Cheesecake
I love eggnog and I love cheesecake. So I figured the best thing would be to combine the two—it’s just the responsible thing to do! During the holidays, I feel like I have to bring a dessert someplace just about every day. I love making cheesecake because A) people go crazy for cheesecake B) you need to make it ahead of time and it makes me feel like I am being way organized by not rushing around the kitchen an hour before I need to be at...

Gingerbread Poke Cake
I love dessert. More than anything in this world. I consider myself to be a connoisseur when it comes to all things cake and frosting, and I love to bake cakes just as much as I love to eat them. But sometimes I just don’t have the time to start from scratch or be bothered with a frosting. Enter poke cake! It’s a simple cake made fancy-like when a brown sugar syrup is poured all over it to soak in even more flavor. And 30 minutes later... Read More

Hanukkah Sufganiyot (Jelly Doughnuts)
I’ll be honest – I don’t know all that much about Hanukkah. I know there’s a sweet song about dreidels made out of clay that we sang every year in elementary school, and I know that I was super jealous of all my friends who celebrated the holiday because they had EIGHT days of presents instead of my one… aaaaaand that’s about it. But now I know that many people celebrate Hanukkah by making these super tasty treats called Sufganiyo... Read More
Maple, Apple and Cheddar Pie
Do you ever feel like you’ve had enough of pie? Like, you’ve tried all the pies there are and there’s really no reason to have any more? Yeah, me neither. Thankfully (or perhaps not-so-thankfully) my sweet tooth prevents me from ever accepting that there is no more pie necessary in my life. Though I have to admit that sometimes, plain ol’ apple pie just doesn’t cut it for me. So when I’m in the mood for pie, but not just any... Read More
Salted Caramel Banana Bread
I love salted caramel. And I love banana bread. So, I thought they needed to meet and get to know each other. As you can see, they fell in love and got married! Banana is so delicious with caramelized sugar and a touch of sea salt. Those three things are just meant to be together. And I love taking a beloved fave I have been making for years and years (like my banana bread recipe) and turning it into something new. I have to be honest,... Read More
Apple Gingerbread Dump Cake
Remember that one time I said I was done making delicious, ooey-gooey dump cakes? Yeah, me either. Good thing I forgot, because otherwise this little miracle wouldn't have graced my kitchen and therein, my mouth. And then I wouldn't have been able to tell you how amazing this Apple Gingerbread Dump Cake recipe is, how it tastes like all the flavors of fall are having a party with your taste buds, how it takes THREE ingredients to make and...

Baileys Chocolate Cake with PB Frosting
From Halloween through New Year’s, nothing gives me more comfort than a nice cold bottle of Irish Creme Liquor. It brings back sweet memories of my whole family gathered around my grandfather on Christmas Eve, singing songs and laughing until the early morning hours. As the weather gets colder, I search for excuses to sneak the creamy alcohol into various different desserts, cocktails, and even savory dishes! It tastes the best in desser... Read More
