What I'm Craving and Cooking in the Kitchen
Summertime means lots of fresh fruit and berries. And in my book that means we’re eating them for every meal. Classic Strawberry Shortcakes requires a light and tender biscuit, sweet and sugary strawberries, all topped off with fluffy whipped cream. We elevate the traditional Strawberry […]
Combination of two of my favorite things. Chocolate Chip Cookies + Cheesecake. All layered up in bar form. I give you Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Bars. By layering cookie dough with an easy cheesecake batter, we’re left with wonderfully rich, decadent, and indulgent dessert bars […]
I’ve always loved desserts in bar form for several reasons. And these Chocolate Shortbread Bars are no exception. It’s quicker. No scooping cookie dough onto baking sheets. Easy to transport in the baking dish. Can get fancy with layering with very little effort! These bars […]
These Cereal S’Mores Bars honestly can’t be beat. I’m talking gooey, sticky, crunchy, just a few ingredients, and no baking needed. Need I really say more? There is something about cereal based desserts that brings you back to childhood. But trust me, these S’mores Bars […]
These Oatmeal Cookie Bars actually are healthy, although they don’t taste it! Made with no refined sugar (thank you maple syrup for the sweetness) and only 1/4 cup whole wheat flour. The majority of these bars is nut butter (I used almond) and oats! See, […]
Pretzel Hugs are some of my FAVORITE treats to make around the holidays. I mean is there anything better than the salty-sweet combination of chocolate and pretzels? These easy pretzel treats require no mixing, beating, or rolling needed. It takes just a few minutes in […]
I love a traditional cut out sugar cookies with a good icing or frosting on top just as much as the next person. But, dare I say, these Brown Butter Sugar Cookies are so good they don’t even need icing. Yes, you read that right. […]
December is here which means a key component of my diet is Christmas cookies. A couple of days before Christmas, my mom and I have a tradition of baking batches and batches of holiday cookies to eat and share. But, I don’t wait until the […]
Man, do I have an easy holiday (or any time of year) dessert for you. These Sea Salt Chocolate Almond Clusters are only 4 ingredients and the perfect combo of salty and sweet. They keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks so they […]
Oh my goodness. This is one of those recipes that make me wish smells could be transported via screen. From the apples and the cinnamon sugar, it smells. SO. GOOD. Pure Fall. This Cinnamon Sugar Apple Cake is extra moist and loaded with fresh apple […]
How is your summer going? I can’t believe that it’s already July! The season is flying by. Probably because we skipped spring – went straight from a foot of snow in April to 100 degree weather in May and June. Are you managing to stay […]
It’s time for another healthy-ish nut butter cup recipe. A little while back I shared this recipe for some classic Chocolate Almond Butter Cups. For this recipe, we’re adding the fun twist of layering the chocolate and almond butter mixtures. These are the most tempting […]
Fun Fact: I have a peanut allergy. When people find out about this one of the first things they say is “You can’t eat Reeses?!?”. I’ve never had one, but the concern others show makes me think I really must be missing something special! Luckily, […]
A couple of weeks ago my parents took a little getaway to Hawaii. Upon their return, they brought back lots of goodies including lots of macadamia nuts (both raw and covered in chocolate of course). What’s a girl to do with a surplus of macadamia […]
How was your weekend? Mine was filled with one too many beverages 🙂 and one too many tastes of cookie dough. Friday night we celebrated a couple of birthdays with a party bus bar crawl. A ton of fun, but after a night filled with […]
