I have really enjoyed experimenting with my crock pot lately. My mom just gave me her extra one so I am just recently getting into this method of cooking. It’s so convenient! Since we have very few cold days here in Florida, I have mostly been using it for soups while we are experiencing some […]

Making quiche on the weekends has been my go to lately. Packed full of veggies and just as good reheated the next day. It’s nice to make something that can serve as two meals when you’re busy. I will also sometimes chop extra vegetables when making dinner and save them to make this the next […]

We celebrated Hunter’s birthday this past week and so I made his favorite cake which has kind of become my baking specialty. It takes me a little while to put this all together so it’s always my go-to for special occasions since a little extra love and patience is involved 🙂 I wanted to share […]

This strawberry lemon bread was super easy to make, no mixer required and it turned out so good. I took bits and pieces from a few recipes I found on Pinterest and made it my own using what I had. I think you could make this with any kind of berry, I just happened to […]

These scones are MY FAVORITE. I’ve altered this recipe many times to try new things and accommodate the season (I usually make them with matcha). I was curious to try it with pumpkin and happy that I did. They are subtle / just the right amount of pumpkin flavor and perfect with cinnamon and a […]

YOU MAY REMEMBER I MADE FLUFFLY BEAUTIFUL SCONES BACK AROUND CHRISTMAS WITH STRAWBERRIES AND HAVE SINCE EXPERIMENTED WITH OTHER FRUITS (ON IG). SAME BASIC SCONE RECIPE BECAUSE IT’S SO PERFECT.  THE ONLY REAL CHANGE IS I DITCHED THE GLAZE BECAUSE THE WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIPS MAKE THEM SWEET ENOUGH. HERE IS THE ORIGINAL RECIPE IF FRUITY […]

This is the best salad.  We’ve been making a big bowl to have with dinners each week since having a zoodle salad in NYC. We got a tool to make the ‘noodles’ at Crate & Barrel for about $15.  There is really no recipe involved in this, you can portion however you like.  I used […]

I made two batches of these last week for Christmas breakfast and my gift exchange with my girls.  They were so good and quick / easy to make.  I’ve had a few failed attempts at scone making but these were just perfect.  You could substitute the strawberries and almonds for pretty much anything…blueberries, cranberries, any […]

OMG this cake is insane.  The perfect combination of eggnog spice in the actual cake and sweetness in the eggnog buttercream frosting.  Not too mentioned stuffed with a bourbon custard!  This was quite an advanced recipe for my beginner skill level in the kitchen but I saw it in Southern Living this month and knew […]

Year after year we bake these sugar cookies and have a fun decorating day with my mom, grandma, and sometimes a friend or two 🙂 They are easy to make and great to give out and/or bring to holiday parties.  As usual, I lean toward non-traditional and BRIGHT for Christmas colors.  So Blade face and […]
