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…
Does everyone think of the song hot cross buns when they see the name? Maybe just Americans because of elementary school and learning to play that song on the recorder. I actually never learned because of moving schools often but that’s neither here nor there, I digress. You’d think they’d give you the actual baked…
When it came to Easter in my house growing up, we never really had any special treats or traditions other than Easter baskets and a somewhat fancy dinner. I really wanted to create a special bread for the occasion. I did some research to see what other cultures and countries do for the holiday and…
If you love pumpkin, I won’t lie to you and tell you these pumpkin maple dinner rolls are like taking a bite of pumpkin pie. They aren’t. That being said, they bring great flavor and beautiful color to these super soft and fluffy rolls. These things are jumbo as well. These rolls are soft and…
Maple shortbread cookies are an exquisite mouth journey. If you’ve never had a good shortbread cookie, let me just tell you. You are missing out. They practically melt in your mouth and are a rich buttery, light sweet cookie. They are the type of cookie you can eat like 12 and then you’re like.. what…
You might not be familiar with the term buckle when it comes to baking. So what is a spiced pear buckle, or a buckle in general? Don’t let this deter you, this is an easy recipe. This spiced pear buckle is kind of somewhere in the realm of a coffee cake, or crumb cake or…
Cinnamon and apples probably conjure up images in your mind of apple pie, picking apples in an orchard, fall temps, plaid blankets. Basically, they scream fall. So an apple cinnamon bread was a must. I went through quite a few iterations of this bread trying to get it just right. A lot of recipes have…
S’mores. I’d say a summer staple but really to me just a campfire/bonfire basic. This s’mores ice box cake is what I’d call a summer staple. It takes s’mores flavors and turns them into a cold summer treat. It doesn’t require an oven, or really even a mixer but that will speed up the making…
If you like piña coladas… just kidding, I don’t like that song. When you imagine a piña colada, you imagine summer and probably poolside. A big frosty glass probably with a cherry or pineapple garnish (maybe both!). Really, just living your best life. At least that’s what my brain goes to. So I wanted to…
If you’ve never had a braided bread, you’re probably in the majority. There are quite a few recipes for breads filled with lemon curd out on the internet and it’s probably the most popular. One of my favorite appetizers is a crostini with goat cheese, prosciutto, honey, arugula and grapes. It was kind of the…
I love making most things from scratch. I like baking and it gives me a lot of satisfaction to look at a loaf of bread or a fancy cake and know I started with just ingredients and made something delicious and beautiful. But, sometimes I’m all about shortcuts. Lasagna? You will not catch me making…
This balsamic roasted strawberry galette is the perfect summer dessert. Fresh sweet strawberries and flaky buttery crust with added depth of flavor is hard to beat. To me, a galette is superior to a pie. Mainly because pie crust can be fussy, my edge designs never stay pretty when I par or blind bake, etc….
These peppermint bark cookies are a holiday favorite in cookie form. Rich chocolatey shortbread dipped in sweet white chocolate with crushed candy cane. The hardest decision you’ll make is whether to gift them or keep them for yourself. I didn’t grow up eating peppermint bark. I don’t think I knew what it was until I…
