Oh, happy day! Warren and I are celebrating our fifth wedding anniversary with this gorgeous, tropical Key Lime Pavlova! Well, technically our anniversary isn’t until Friday, but I couldn’t wait to share this beaut with you all. Also, it is totally unbelievable to me that we have been married for five years. I can’t even remember what…

Carrot Cake Quick Bread With Cream Cheese Glaze
I can’t even tell you how much I’ve been craving carrot cake these past few weeks. I don’t know why I have fixated so much on this treat but I literally dream about it. So why haven’t I just made a carrot cake to feed the craving? I honestly have no idea. Besides the fact…
Ricotta Frittata
If meals were spirit animals, mine would be brunch. I am an equal opportunist when it comes to my favorite meal–be it sweet, savory, or both–and I’m also not opposed to Brunch-for-Lunch or Brinner. Pretty much, if there is a breakfast food in sight, I want to eat it, a la Ron Swanson. Which brings…
Chocolate Mocha Mug Cakes
You guys: Chocolate Mocha Mug Cakes!!! And yes, I was slow to jump on the microwave cake train because I just feel so strongly about cake (also because I am a reformed cake hater–I know, I lived a sad childhood) and my thought was that cakes should be baked, not nuked. Well, friends, I stand corrected. Because…
Elvis Sweet Rolls | Peanut Butter, Banana, Bacon No Yeast Treats!
Okay, let’s get your thoughts on adding bacon to sweet goods. Because I’m fully on board but Warren just can’t get past what he feels to be the inherent wrongness of such a combination. But you know me and my salty/sweet combo love (Peanut Butter Kettle Corn, anyone?), plus my bacon love rivals on that of Ron…
Lucky Charm Lemon Sugar Cookies
You guys, it’s March! Which means that spring is coming (fingers crossed) to this great state of Michigan! To celebrate, I whipped up another batch of my favorite Lemon Sugar Cookies for a delightful St. Patrick’s Day party. Colleen at Lemon Thistle and Ashton at BeSpoke Decor are the creative masterminds behind this Classy St. Patrick’s Day Party and I only…
French Quarter Beignets
Deep fried dough + powdered sugar + raspberry jam = the best kind of breakfast/lunch/dinner/snack ever. And that, my friends, is why you should love beignets if you don’t already. These little golden gems puff up like champs when they’re being fried so you are essentially eating doughnut pillows. Yes. Doughnut pillows. You know you want…
Easy Peanut Butter Pie With Pretzel Crust
This ridiculously easy Peanut Butter Pie has literally made people fall in love. And for good reason–all that creamy gorgeous peanut butter studded with chopped Reese’s cups contained in a perfectly salty/crunchy pretzel crust. You really couldn’t ask for a dreamier treat.When my little sister was wooing her fiance, she asked if I had any…
Peppermint Bark Brownies
Friends, it is my favorite time of year: Stretchy Pants Season! AKA, the holiday feast season known to many as “December”. I am so excited to share these Peppermint Bark Brownies with you because they are out of control awesome. I mean it. You simply cannot resist a pan of holiday bliss when it looks…
Apple Fritter Monkey Bread
I’m just going to give you a sec to take this whole glorious hot mess in. Because: Apple Fritter Monkey Bread. People, I repeat: APPLE FRITTER MONKEY BREAD!!! Meaning: each little biscuit chunk is filled with apple turnover filling, which makes them so perfectly autumnal, you will dance in the streets. It is pretty much everything good in…
