Are you a mint chocolate person? I one hundred percent AM. I love it, and not just around the holidays. Peppermint cheesecake brownies definitely are holiday appropriate but can be enjoyed year round. Mint cookie ice cream is one of my favorite flavors. I love thin mints, and mint Oreos, and my mom always made…
I set out to make what many people might deem the perfect fall cookie in these pumpkin sugar cookies. I wanted something buttery and warm and spiced plus, obviously pumpkin. Pumpkin has never been my favorite fall flavor, I don’t mind it but I’m not running to get a pumpkin latte on September 1st either….
Every year I try to come up with at least one new pumpkin recipe. Pumpkin isn’t my favorite flavor when it comes to fall flavors, but I know it’s one of the most popular. When I was looking at popular fall recipes on my site my Apple Cider Scones are pretty popular so I figured…
Caramel apples to me seem sort of like a summer thing, but I think most people think of them as a fall flavor. Apple definitely is, and caramel I think is both fall and all season. However, this caramel apple cake feels very cozy and fall like. To get a strong apple flavor, I used…
What is a peach crisp? There are several desserts that are sort of similar and popular when it comes to summer fruit. There’s cobbler, crumbles and crisps. They are all a little similar and a little different. All three have a fruit base and then some sort of sweetened topping that has flour. A cobbler,…
If you’re looking for something akin to a zucchini pizza or a summery side dish, this goat cheese and zucchini galette is perfect. It screams summer eating. What is a galette? If you’ve never had one, it’s sort of like a free form pie or a tart. It’s a pie crust but there is no…
Making homemade pumpkin puree is honestly, not that difficult. Personally, I find the hardest part to be slicing open the pumpkin. If you’ve ever cut open a spaghetti squash, you know. The first time I made homemade pumpkin puree I was shocked that the color was so vibrant compared to canned. It’s a beautiful bright…
When you hear pumpkin rolls do you think of pumpkin dinner rolls? Or perhaps a pumpkin swiss roll cake? Well, these are neither but equally as delicious. If you love pumpkin, you will love these. They have all the flavors of pumpkin pie but nestled into a soft fluffy dough and perfectly served at breakfast….
This maple brown butter Bundt cake is tender and toasty flavors that will make you want to have a slice of cake every hour of the day. Bundt cake isn’t something I grew up eating. Not just because I’m not a cake person either! Bundt cakes are their own thing. You don’t want to make…
If you aren’t familiar, pumpkin butter is most likely not what you are thinking. It is not pumpkin infused butter, but in this PSL world I’m sure that also exists. Pumpkin butter is a sweetened and in this case, spiced, pumpkin puree reduction that is perfect as a spread for things like toast or breakfast…
Focaccia is one of my favorite breads. It’s just the perfect combination of fluffy and soft but also the crisp edges. It’s also pretty simple to make which always is a plus when baking. A few years ago I wondered to myself why dessert or sweet focaccia wasn’t a thing, so I made one: Sweet…
Scones are one of my favorite things to bake. There are basically endless options when it comes to the flavor. Generally, I stick to sweet scones and the savory versions I just make into biscuits. These sweet potato cardamom scones do have it all. These are probably the closest you’ll get to a savory scone…
What are peach rolls? Pretty much everyone on the planet has had a cinnamon roll or knows what it is. But a lot of people are newer to the concept of a sweet roll. Essentially it’s a cinnamon roll with a different filling. Sweet rolls can be filled with anything! Chocolate, jam, fruit, the possibilities…
Maybe I’m wrong, but I feel like strawberry daiquiri is one of those alcoholic drinks that so many people try when they first start drinking. I remember being like 12 and seeing them in a restaurant and thinking wow that looks delicious! Then getting to order a virgin one and feeling sooo cOoL. That being…
I grew up eating cobblers. I remember eating them at my uncles house with berries picked from the yard. To me, a cobbler is world’s apart from a pie, but a lot of people would put them in the same class. I think the lineage goes pie – galette – crisp or cobbler. That’s just…
