I’m a big fan of taking time to reset in the afternoons, which usually takes the form of coffee and some kind of sweet snack. As I got my home ready for my family’s arrival and Thanksgiving celebrations, I indulged in some of my favorite chewy chocolate chocolate chip cookies! These no-chill cookies are amazing…
This Butterscotch Sauce Recipe was initially published on Sunday Supper Movement where I am a contributor. My love affair with butterscotch started out when my grandmother first introduced me to hard butterscotch candies. Is it a requirement for all grandparents to have butterscotch candies all over their home to bribe grandchildren with? I’ll let you…
Creamy tropical flavors in every bite make this vegan banana coconut semifreddo a must-make for your next gathering! ‘Vegan’ isn’t a word that I often use to describe my recipes. Almost all of my recipes contain eggs, butter or cream so when I found a way to make a banana-based semifreddo instead of custard-based ice…
Toasted s’mores ice cream is the perfect way to enjoy all of your favorite s’mores flavors at home! Smoky, toasted marshmallows, crunchy and sweet chocolate all wrapped up in a decadent graham cracker ice cream base. Yum! I can’t remember who showed me how to make my first s’more, where I was when I had…
Sweet, creamy and absolutely decadent baked Nutella cheesecake. Yes please! Now, I know that claiming this cheesecake to be the best baked Nutella cheesecake might seem a little controversial, but I stand by my claim. It has that perfect crunchy graham cracker crust and an absolutely luscious filling. Try to eat just one piece, I…
No churn milk and cookies ice cream is the perfect cure to any sweet cravings I have. I was going to specify that it’s great during the summer but the truth is, it’s great all year long. The inspiration for this ice cream came from the Ben & Jerry’s Milk and Cookies flavor. It is…
Easter, baby showers, book club, St-Patrick’s Day, spring – regardless of the occasion, I LOVE baking with a theme. I’m terrible at making decisions. I think it’s a product of growing up with endless options but if I’m presented with too many options, it takes me ages to make up my mind. If 6PM rolls…
This matcha green tea ice cream is the perfect refreshing dessert for summer! Is anyone else LOVING the new line of matcha green tea drinks from Starbucks? I was alternating between the iced latte and the frappuccino before I realized I could save some money by making something with similar flavors at home! What is…
This pistachio biscotti is crunchy, sweet, salty and all around amazing. I found myself with some leftover pistachios recently and I did what I do best. I chopped them up and whipped up a batch of pistachio biscotti…. with chocolate of course. I’m a BIG fan of biscotti. This is probably due to the fact…
If you are looking to use up extra bananas and indulge with a decadent treat, this banana bundt bread is for you! If you’ve ever worked on a marketing campaign with me, you’d know that I love alliteration. Almost as much as I LOVE bananas. And chocolate. Could this just as easily be called banana…
This post has been compensated by Hudsonville Ice Cream. All opinions are my own. Mini chocolate raspberry ice cream tarts made with Hudsonville’s Raspberry Indulgence ice cream is the perfectly easy AND decadent dessert for your Valentine’s Day date night! When I was in college, I used to joke that ice cream was my Valentine’s…
I don’t often have enough time for an overly ornate and decadent breakfast but when I do, I like to make overly decadent french toast! Lately, that’s taken the form of banana bread french toast. Over the years, I’ve had a lot of fun coming up with new ways to enjoy french toast (remember that…
