Have you ever had a banoffee pie? It’s a decadent mix of toffee and banana that carries a strange, and yet very literal name. I jazzed up this version with crunchy nuts to add texture and discovered that pecan banoffee pie is my new favorite kind. A crunchy nut crust, with a sweet gooey filling…

Anyone else get cravings for chocolate chip cookies? I’m all about that late night warm cookie with a glass of (almond) milk. This week however, my cravings kept me on my toes when I found myself obsessing over the idea of a big batch of chocolate chip cupcakes. There’s something so classic about a chocolate…
Have you made cake balls? They are the tastiest mistake ever. Okay, so you can make them on purpose, in fact I would highly recommend it, but these funfetti cake balls came about from a mistake on my part. Sorry not sorry. I’m going back to basics over here, starting with a more organized kitchen…
There are few things I find more stressful than having a messy kitchen. When my kitchen, and to a certain degree my home, is feeling disorganized, I find it so challenging to relax. Every time I walk into the room, I can’t help but notice everything out of place and make a running list in…
One of the most common questions I get asked about my blogs is who eats all of the food. I usually laugh and tell everyone about my sugar-holic husband. Because he’s my number one taste-tester, I occasionally make things that he specifically requests. This week, that was Easter candy bark! I like to think most…

It’s that time of year again. Time for everything to get green and minty and beer flavored. Yes, that’s right, I’m talking about St. Patrick’s Day. This year, I’ve been baking with Guinness a ton to prepare for the ‘celebration’. If you’re ready to join me in beer baking, you need to try out these…
I’ve talked about my absolutely favorite lavender hot chocolate from Maman in New York City so it was only a matter of time before I adapted the flavors into an ice cream flavor: lavender chocolate ice cream! I’ve always joked that lavender has calming properties and while I can’t prove that this lavender chocolate ice…
Spring is always my favorite time of year for stocking up on kitchen supplies. Pastel everything come out of the woodwork and adorable Easter-themed kitchen supplies are in abundance. What’s not to love? I’m not sure why but walking into Williams-Sonoma and seeing the pastel cookware and bakeware displays make me so happy. Most of…
I know I’m supposed to love all of my recipes equally but these cheesecake-stuffed mint Oreos are actually one of my all time favorites. I flew to New York at 6am last Friday, which completely threw off my daily life (and blog) routine. And y’all know how important my routine is to me. Anyone else…
New week, new goals. Right? I won my family’s weekly Fitbit step competition a few weeks ago and I was feeling really good. Then it rained, Rocky was sick and I found myself taking far less steps. I’m not as competitive as the rest of my family so I’ve only won the step contest once…
