(Better than those store bought ones!) Valentine’s Day is a perfect time to bake your loved ones these mini treats! I was going to post this yesterday on the actual holiday, but our internet provider had different plans and we spent the day helping the technician run new wiring through our walls. I say we […]
These Berry Chocolate Chip Muffins are so easy and delicious! They look and smell exactly like bakery muffins, but in my opinion pack way more flavor into each bite! Moist muffin crumb with fresh bursts of blueberry, swirled berry jam, and big chunks of dark chocolate will have you making these again and again. My […]
This September marks 7 years for kelliericecakes.com! It is hard to believe how much time has passed! To celebrate I made a spiced apple cider cake with thick cream cheese espresso frosting, apple butter layers, and candied pecans. I know these layers look extra thick, but the frosting is more cream cheese and not as […]
Fall is finally here! I go back and forth between pumpkin and apples. Honestly, I would have been baking with both way sooner if my family had let me ?. These very easy baked apple cider donuts are a perfect way to dip into the season! I bought my donut pan at Target for $10! […]

What is it about the cool weather that makes you crave all the comfort foods? With the temperature dropping we have been eating a lot of risotto. Usually we have so much left over and I don’t know what to do with it. So I was thinking why not fry it? I used our favorite […]
My instapot is my favorite kitchen appliance when it starts getting cold out. I love being able to get big flavors in half the time. This soup is easy to make with minimal ingredients, but still delivers hearty bites! I started by caramelizing two large yellow onions with butter and a spoonful of brown sugar. […]
Do you ever shop the bargain cook book section at Barnes and Nobles? I get suckered in every time! I came home with two cook books the other day that are filled with inspiration. Since I’ve been doing Keto I feel like I was in a cooking rut. These buns clearly are not low carb, […]
We always order Cajun shrimp. In our neighborhood there is always an amazing seafood boil a stone throw away. I wanted to branch out and try something a little different. The flavor of this sauce is unlike anything I’ve ever tried! I made mountain bread in our cast iron skillet and could not wait to […]
