Quick and Easy Apple Crisp (Gluten Free)
Good afternoon my friends, family, supporters, and passerby strangers. Thanks for visiting my humble blog today! This apple crisp recipe may be one of the fastest and simplest desserts on my blog. It is 5 steps and very staple ingredients that most people have in their pantry. I like to describe apple crisp as a sort of upside pie. But it takes way less time to make a crisp than a pie. There is no crust, rather a granola type topping that gives the perfect crunch to a sweet and tangy recipe. I am not going to lie, I am not a huge pie person, and I don’t love hot…
Gluten Free Brownie Cookies w/ Ganache Center
It is October 1st and I can hardly believe it. Like where did September go?! Does anyone else feel like 2021 is going by at lightning speed? This week I bring to you, a new favorite dessert. It is not apple or pumpkin, but it is CHOCOLATE, and who doesn’t love chocolate? I am not going sugar coat it (pun intended), this recipe does take longer than your average cookie, but it is 1000% worth it. These delicious brownies cookies are more laborious because you have to make the chocolate ganache for the center, and refrigerating the dough takes some time as well. But the reason that I love this…
The Best Pumpkin Loaf with Streusel (Gluten-Free)
It is OFFICIALLY Fall people! We are two weeks into September and I have literally already seen dozens of pumpkin recipes flood my Instagram and Pinterest feeds. I get it, it’s super basic and super cliche, but everyone loves pumpkin recipes, and they make you feel happy, cozy, and warm. I love coming up with new, exciting, and different recipes. But sometimes ya gotta stick to the classics, because they just work and they are consistently great and tasty. I am going to be honest with you, I tinkered with this recipe couple times. I even went through all the effort of making the video and shooting the photos for…
Chocolate Chip Strawberry Thumbprint Cookies
Consider this your weekly reminder, that traditional and basic (but also perfect) recipes like chocolate chip cookies, can always be reinvented, modified, or added to to make it exciting, new, and different. That is what I did with this recipe! My roommate and I were trying to think of a dessert that I could incorporate raspberry jam into, because I had just bought a delicious jar of it, and I wanted to have a dessert with raspberry in it without actual raspberries, because lets face it, it is summer and they are a little bit spendy. That is when my roommate (gotta give credit where credit’s due), thought of the…
Dark Chocolate Brownies with Almond Butter
I dont know about you, but I have never been a huge cookie person. I have a huge sweet tooth, but growing up I loved eating candy, cupcakes, and brownies. Cookies not as much. But give me a warm, gooey brownie on top of some soft serve vanilla ice cream, and you have got me. Boxed brownies are good and all, but I think we can all agree that homemade, made from scratch brownies are far superior. Yes, it takes a little bit of extra time and effort, but it is 1000% worth it. I know that most people make peanut butter brownies, and while I agree that those are…
Homemade Crepes with Fresh Strawberries and Lemon Juice
This is a recipe I am super stoked to be sharing with you guys. These crepes have been in my family for a long time. I am releasing this super secret family recipe with you because it needs to be SHARED! It is subtly sweet, tasty, and perfect. It is extremely simple and hard to mess up. The crepe recipe is literally five ingredients that most people have in their fridge and pantry. Milk, butter, eggs, flour, and sugar. It cannot get easier than that. I used a food processor to make mine this time, but normally a blender works just fine. My blender is broken however, so that is…
The Best Moist Chocolate Cupcakes with Homemade Chocolate Frosting
I have a confession. Even though I am a food blogger, baker, chef, lover of food, foodie, etc., I do not usually like frosting. Most frosting is too sweet, too thick, and honestly just tastes like powdered sugar, or like corn syrup. I never buy cupcakes or cakes at restaurants or bakeries because of this very reason. I know for most people, the frosting is their favorite part…especially kids. I know I know, you might call me crazy or call me a grumpy Grinch, but it is true! I don’t know if you feel this way too, but if you do….have no fear, because this chocolate cupcake recipe with chocolate…

The Best Blueberry Crumb Cake
This easy and simple blueberry crumb cake is so moist, fresh, and the streusel on top makes it completely crumble in your mouth. The fresh blueberries bring a perfect zesty finish. This cake is perfect for a breakfast treat (who said you can’t have cake for breakfast?), a dessert, or have them as a mid day snack with a cappuccino or some creamy milk. It is similar to coffee cake because of the cinnamon crumb mixture on top, but the flavor is different, since the blueberries are added. The lemon zest, gives it the acid it needs to balance out the sweetness. The vanilla and almond extract gives it a…
4 Ingredient Easy Chocolate Coconut Mousse
GUYS. This is a recipe that is incredibly underrated. It may look boring but let me tell you, it is far from it. It is the simplest mousse recipe you will ever make. It’s not sickeningly sweet either, so it gives you the freedom to pair it with something that is also sweet, like fruit. I love pairing it with fresh fruit, such as strawberries or raspberries. But you can also serve it on top of some shortbread, cake, or scoop a spoonful into your coffee to make it an exciting creamy mocha situation. The possibilities are endless. This chocolate coconut mousse is creamy, light, and delectable. But as always,…
