One of my favorite things to make for Thanksgiving (or any dinner party) is appetizers. I am always playing around with different ingredients to come up with a combination of sweet and savory and this autumn crostini has to be my favorite. It is so easy to make and never disappoints. I originally made this […]

Peaches are one of my favorite fruits, so every year I anxiously await their peak ripeness to use in a variety of recipes. A summer never passes by without making something peach based, so this week I whipped up a simple rustic tart layered with a graham cracker crust, creme patisserie and sweet yellow peaches. […]

Most of you know by now, I spend a lot of time in the kitchen. Over the past few years, it really has become my happy place and it is so fun to spend time experimenting with new recipes. Since I clock more hours in here, I have slowly overhauled a lot of my less […]

Autumn is my favorite time of year for baking. The sweet smell of apples and cinnamon makes me so happy and fills our little apartment with all the seasonal feels. I love a classic galette because they are easy to make and the rustic appearance makes it hard to mess up. The imperfections are welcomed […]

I like just about every dessert with raspberries and pastry cream, so these simple pastry tarts have become one of my go to’s.

Although we won’t be entertaining this Christmas, I wanted to make a cake that felt festive and gave me an excuse to play around a bit. This cake has a raspberry jam layer, a white chocolate buttercream layer in the center and is topped […]

It is no secret Fall is my absolute favorite time of year. Although it has drastically shifted around here with the heat lingering throughout October, there is still a seasonal shift I look forward to. Throughout 2020 I have stepped up my baking and cooking game, but Autumn is when I look most forward to […]

As much as I love Pinterest, when it comes to recipes nothing will compare to scouring cookbooks and marking your tried and true. Growing up, we always had dozens of cookbooks in the kitchen. Stained covers from baking hands, my mom (the baker) and my dad (the cook) used their go to resources time and […]

Last night I posted on my Instagram stories one of my favorite cakes to make. Many of you wanted the recipe so I thought it would be easier to share here because there are quite a few steps between the cake and the chocolate buttercream. I have been working my way through The Art Of […]

French Madelines are one of my favorite things to bake because they are so incredibly easy and taste delicious! All you need is the special pan to get the pretty shell shape. This recipe that I have adapted over time has just enough orange zest and all the good buttery flavor. Perfect to help beat […]
