Is it inappropriate to post apple pie recipes during 80 degree weather? ABSOLUTELY NOT. In fact, in my humble opinion, mother nature should be the one apologizing for her inappropriate behavior… um, hi, it’s October. And so let’s just say I am MORE THAN HAPPY partaking in fall festivities despite this savage summer weather. We’re basically doing anything we…
Dessert
Red Velvet Cake Truffles
Roses are red, violets are blue, these sweet little nuggets were made just for you! Okay, okay, my next career may not be in poetry, but I’m alright with that. I just turned 29, and am completely accepting of the fact that my favorite hobby includes photographing food and mastering the art of writing about food…
Gingerbread Waffles with Cinnamon Whipped Cream
Why hello, plate-of-amazing-gingerbread-waffles-I’d-like-to-fall-face-first-into. I’ve been on this weird gingerbread bender (more on this to come…) but at least it’s December and it’s totally acceptable. I mean, if I could wake up to these babies every weekend, my life would be complete. Would you give me the side eye if I made these on a hot…
Pecan and Cranberry Holiday Biscotti with a Dark Chocolate Drizzle
I’m a true professional at hoarding scented candles during the holidays.

Pumpkin carving, pumpkin coffee, pumpkin bread, pumpkin cupcakes, and of course, pumpkin cookies (I’m sure I’m missing many other pumpkin-things. Like pumpkin soup….
Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites
My sous chef has an enormous sweet tooth. Eight o’clock crept around last night and he had a hankering for something sweet. I know, I know. All of the dessert-like things I make have peanut butter and chocolate. That’s simply because I don’t plan these out and I have to use things I already have…
Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies with Chocolate Buttercream Filling
First, I convinced the sous chef that we shouldn’t go to the gym last night. Luckily he gave in and I naturally poured myself a glass of wine. To make matters even better, I had the hankering to make a yummy sweet treat for my sous chef. Because not going to the gym and eating…
Peanut Butter-Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
In honor of Valentine’s day I thought it would be most appropriate to showcase a perfect marriage: chocolate and peanut butter (with milk and cookies coming in as a close second). Not to mention, this is a wonderful sweet treat for your special someone, my sous chef loved them! Heavenly? Yes. Soft and delectable? Check….
