This vanilla bean cheesecake is the ultimate base cheesecake that’s also perfect on it’s own. No toppings needed except brown butter whipped cream. Flavored cheesecakes are excellent. My favorite cheesecakes usually include fruit or maybe white chocolate. However, sometimes you need a great base cheesecake. Maybe because you want vanilla cheesecake, or maybe because you…
This salted caramel apple galette is a delicious alternative to the classic apple pie. Buttery pie crust folded into a rustic tart shape, with sliced apples, cinnamon and salted caramel topping. Galettes are like the pie’s laid back sibling. They have the same parents but how they hang out is different. I personally love a…
Chewy and sweet like the classic, these apple pie rice krispies treats also have warm apple pie spices and tons of apple flavor. I love a good Rice Krispies treat. They are so simple to make and delicious to eat and share. Once I started making different flavors as well it was game on. Don’t…
This braided challah bread is my take on the classic Jewish bread. Soft, lightly sweet, and made for celebrations. Similar to brioche it is an enriched dough, that can be considered kosher as it is without dairy or meat. I am not Jewish. I am simply a bread enthusiast who enjoys this bread, and also…
This buttermilk English muffin bread is the perfect vehicle for butter and jam. Holey and craggy like it’s namesake, ready for you to slather with toppings for breakfast. What is English Muffin Bread? I’m sure most of us have an English muffin for breakfast before. I love a good one with lots of butter and…
Blackberry peach crumble is a sublime combination of summer fruits baked with a cinnamon crumble topping. Add vanilla ice cream and enjoy in a summer breeze. What’s the difference between a crisp, a crumble and a cobbler? When it comes to fruits being baked, there’s endless options but what is the difference between them all….
Big, beautiful, and the softest potato sandwich bread, sliceable and toastable right from your kitchen. For someone who isn’t a huge potato fan, I love potato bread. It’s so so soft and wonderful. Whether I’m making my Potato Burger Buns or buying burger buns, it’s always potato rolls these days. Most likely because potato bread…
These brown butter pistachio scones are so warm and toasty and will feel like a warm hug to start the day at breakfast or end the day at dessert. I don’t know why I didn’t think of this flavor sooner. Pistachios are one of my most favorite nuts, and scones are one of my most…
Homemade salted caramel sauce rivals anything you can buy in a store or even have in a restaurant. It only requires a handful of ingredients and tastes divine. Homemade caramel can get a bad rep. It can be a little finnicky – whether it be burning the caramel, it crystallizes, etc. However, when it’s made…
These breadsticks are reminiscent of your favorite breadsticks growing up. Heavily seasoned, crispy, buttery edges and soft crumb. I don’t know about you, but growing up I was a Book-It kid. If you’re not familiar, it’s a kids program through the school that if you read a certain number of books each month you could…
S’mores brownies are an upgraded version of the classic summer treat. Graham cracker crust, chewy brownies, and toasted marshmallow top. These brownies are very woah. I like s’mores but I’m not usually reaching for s’mores flavored treats. But they are a staple of summer so I really wanted to create a brownie version because honestly…
This spiced blueberry bundt cake is like a mashup of a blueberry muffin and a cinnamon swirl bundt cake. I’d eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert! Spiced blueberry bundt cake is actually something I made/developed in probably 2021, and then misplaced the recipe I had written down. Two moves and three states later…
The classic combo of butterscotch chocolate chip cookies with the added crunch of chopped walnuts to create a chewy, crunchy, sweet cookie that will be a new favorite. There’s almost no cookie combination that sounds bad to me. I like cookies with chocolate, white chocolate, dark chocolate. Nuts, no nuts, fruit, candy, sprinkles, and even…
Raspberry curd is smooth and creamy, velvety sweet with light tartness and amazing on pastries or right out of the jar. Meet your new favorite sweet treat. Lemon curd became one of my favorite things a few years ago. I had never had it, however I never knew it existed either. I was never a…
No knead dinner rolls are just that: easy, fluffy dinner rolls with no kneading required. Top with butter and enjoy ultra soft and fluffy bread with your meal. I don’t think there is a dinner roll that I don’t enjoy. It’s why I have so many different recipes on my site. But, some of my…
