I was going to wait until September 1st to share this recipe, but it is just too good not to share! Plus I am sure we all have overly ripe bananas hanging out! This cake is so light and fluffy with banana chunks. The brown sugar topping keeps it from drying out. I played around […]
My whole life I have loved anything with cherries. I can never understand how someone could prefer apples or peaches. This cherry cobbler is so easy to put together, but has so much flavor! I can make this entire dessert in 30 minutes. My kids always think I am a magician. Second best part? Your […]
Pizza is a huge hit in our house! We love making it at home and changing up the toppings. This pizza plays off classic flavors, but it just a little more special with sweet caramelized onions, crispy ground beef, and calabria chilies. You can use whatever cheese you love, but I really like the Tillamook […]
This is such a fun way to make chocolate cake. Deep chocolate fudge cake topped with the crackled meringue and fresh whipped cream. It is a cross between a brownie and macaron. Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and I wanted to try something a little different. When Patrick and I first started dating […]
There is a Cuban restaurant around the corner that makes super simple delicious empanadas. Beef or chicken, crunchy with an amazing dip. I do not know anything about an authentic empanada, but I do know what would go well with a similar dip. My version has roasted onion, potatoes, butternut squash, ground beef, and mozzarella. […]

Poundcake is one of those things that can be tough and dry or sweet and creamy. I have always loved recipes that use a lot of heavy whipping cream, but this time I wants to try something a little different. This strawberry poundcake is reminiscent of a danish. Light crust with a moist cake and […]
Is it cold where you are? We are in Georgia and it was 70 degrees on Christmas, but today it is 24 degrees. I love the cold because it makes me feel like it is okay to stay in the holiday spirit for just a littttle bit longer! This soup is perfect for the cold […]
What is it about Christmas that just makes you crave warm cups of espresso? Or is it just me?? These cookies are inspired from one of my favorite drinks. Espresso with caramel and mocha sauce. These chewy chocolate chip cookies have dark chocolate chips, espresso chips, and are stuffed with caramel. They are perfect for […]
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. […]
