My social media feeds today were FILLED with fall. It is officially September and even though we still have a few more weeks of summer it seems like everyone is ready for fall. These cookies are the perfect ending to summer. I am basically obsessed with anything smore related, but I hate how the graham cracker […]
Cream Biscuits (Easy)
Cream biscuits are the most fool proof recipes that I can find. Sometimes I find recipes that I think will work, but they are too dry or too greasy. My perfect biscuit has a nice crust, salty sweet flavor, and a soft flaky middle. Growing up in a small southern town you are basically required […]
Hot Fudge Cheesecake
Cheesecake is one of those desserts that I usually bypass for a huge piece of chocolate cake. BUT if it is done right it moves to the front of my dessert line up. I like my cheesecake to be creamy and thick. Your fork should slide right through without much effort. This hot fudge cheesecake […]
Whip Cream Pound Cake with Fresh Cherry Topping
Now some may say this is not a true pound cake, but this is my favorite way to make a pound cake. The texture is so creamy and sweet it honestly does not need a topping, but I could not pass on these beautiful cherries. The topping is not too sweet. The cherries really stand […]
Blueberry Bagels (with coconut flour and organic blueberries)
A few years ago one of my coworkers brought me breakfast. A breakfast that I can never forget. A giant piping hot toasted blueberry bagel overflowing with raspberry cream cheese and fresh strawberries. It was one of the best bagels I have ever eaten. The mix of berries and that perfect chewy bread make the […]
Dark Chocolate Glazed Donuts With Toasted Coconut
Happy National Donut Day! In honor of one of my favorite holidays I made these classic yeast donuts with a dark chocolate glaze and toasted coconut flakes. These donuts came out so light and airy. I dunked them into a traditional glaze then spooned a dark chocolate glaze on top. The unsweet toasted coconut was […]
Oatmeal Strawberry Jam Breakfast Muffins
These muffins are a breakfast lover’s dream come true. Packed with oats, brown sugar, and organic strawberry jam they are like a little bowl of oatmeal on the go. Fun fact- I hate the texture of oatmeal. I love the way it smells and the yummy flavors of oats, but the gummy texture is incredibly […]
Orange Cake and Orange Buttercream
This cake is special because I make it every year around my birthday. My mom has always made me an orange cake with orange buttercream and since I moved I continued the tradition. Everyone always teases me because I like making my own cake, but it is my favorite. Something about the dense orange flavored […]
Classic Chocolate Ganache Macarons
Hi this is my first attempt at macarons! As in my first successful attempt. These delicate cookies only have a handful of ingredients, but are truly the most high maintenance cookie I have ever made. I made 5 batches yesterday using a variety of methods I found online. This is what worked best for me. […]
Rustic Country White Bread
AH, and so the love affair with my bread maker continues. I am currently working on a few grilled cheese creations for a contest now going on. The first ingredient in a perfect grilled cheese is a nice piece of crusty bread for “grilling”. I was scrolling through recipes online trying to find the ultimate […]
