Yes yes, I am aware that this is my THIRD peppermint post this month. But you know what’s the worst? When you buy a special ingredient for ONE recipe and then you don’t know what the heck else to do with the remainder of said ingredient. So if you, like me, purchased a bottle of […]
I know these little tasters look just like donut holes, but, surprise! They’re actually energy balls. Not only are they energy balls, but they are holiday themed energy balls because I know that this is just what your December is missing! It’s what my December was missing anyway. In truth, I created this recipe with […]
Any kind of chocolate bark is a favorite of mine during the holiday season. As a bonus, it’s super simple to make and it’s a great thing to make with kids. It’s great for holiday bake sales and it would make a thoughtful teacher’s gift as well. So here is my spin on peppermint bark! […]
Is it even the holidays if there aren’t Candied Nuts at your parties and gatherings? I’m going to say no. Definitely not. So I’m here to make your day, yet again! These Candied Nuts are a cleaned up version of the crap you see in stores around the holidays. My spin on Candied Nuts contain […]
We’ve officially reached the season of peppermint everything, and I am here for it. We’ve survived and surpassed pumpkin season and are now on to a new flavor profile that the food marketing gods insist that we consume in mass quantities. I’ve never been a huge peppermint fan, but this year I purchased a bottle […]
Happy December! Writing that freaked me out just a little bit. 2019 has really flown by so far and there’s no sign of it slowing down whatsoever.

I was ADDICTED to “Magic Shell” growing up. If I was having ice cream, I had to have that incredible topping that froze as soon as it hit the ice cream. I loved it then and I love it still. So much so that I decided to incorporate it into a brand new dessert that […]
If you hate traditional pie crusts, do I have a treat in store for you! I too hate pie crust. I love all the delicious innards, but man do I hate the dry, flaky dough that houses them. I don’t know who thought that that would possibly be a good idea for a great tasting […]
HAPPY OCTOBER! I am SO happy that it’s finally October, and yet at the same time I’m shocked that it’s October already. Does that even make sense? Probably not, but there it is anyway. I am mortified to admit that for the first 25 years or so of my life, my idea of a good […]
With fall fast approaching, we have found ourselves at the tail end of stone fruit season. It’s bittersweet, at least for me, because while I absolutely LOVE fall (eternally basic) I really enjoy peaches and nectarines too. There’s just something about standing over your kitchen sink (people don’t honestly eat these fruits anywhere else, right?) […]
