Chocolate Cake Pops with Vanilla Frosting (Gluten Free)
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I don’t know about you, but I do not personally do a ton to celebrate this holiday. I will occasionally go out with friends to dinner or maybe have a small get together. Drinking is not something I regularly do, so going to the bar and grabbing a beer, isn’t my go-to activity. But the best and biggest way I know to celebrate any holiday, is with food! I like baking and cooking delicious things, and then sharing them with friends and family. These Gluten Free Chocolate Cake Pops are so fun, festive, and you can get really creative with the decoration and colors. Of course,…
Toffee Chocolate Macarons
Hello friends! It is almost March which means Spring is right around the corner (I hope). To jumpstart the season, I wanted to share a delicious Toffee Chocolate Macaron recipe. Now, macarons are not my favorite dessert to make, only because they are time consuming and laborious. You do have to have patience with these, and enjoy taking your time. Macarons are infamous for being finicky and more on the difficult side. I do not say this to deter you at all, just being real with ya’ll. One of the hardest parts of making macarons, is the meringue. Getting it to be the perfect consistency, is key. These elegant sandwhiches…
Marble Bundt Cake (Gluten Free)
We are almost in February guys, and you know what that means… Valentine’s Day! I rarely do anything for this holiday, as I am single and see it as just another day. However, I know there are millions of people that love celebrating it, and have someone special to spend it with. It is fun to see the bouquets of roses, balloons, teddy bears, and surprise trips that my friends and family receive. I love creating and writing recipes for desserts that others can use to make for February 14th. I haven’t made a bundt cake in years, and thought it would be something exciting and different. Bundt cake pans…
Gluten Free Gingerbread Cookie Recipe
(with White Chocolate)Merry Christmas friends! Christmas is officially 9 days away, and I have fully decorated my apartment with green and red. I have snowmen, Santa, a mini Christmas tree, stockings, trimmings, the whole shebang. Christmas is my favorite holiday by far, and always has been. I love baking and cooking during December because there are so many yummy and delicious options and you get to make it cutesy and cozy. I love making the classic sugar cookies cutouts with frosting and sprinkles, peppermint flavored pastries, hot chocolate from scratch, and last but not least, gingerbread cookies! Our family did not grow up making gingerbread cookies, but as an adult I started…
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…
