Hey, y’all! It’s been a hot minute, I know. Summer (I guess it’s actually technically spring still… but this heat tells me we skipped spring and went straight for summer.) has been kicking my ass. I randomly decided to move into a new place in Nashville. Good and bad about that. Lots of huge, bright,…

Thin Mint Ganache Brownies
St. Patrick’s Day is almost here! You know… that day that you probably don’t know the meaning of, but still use it as an excuse to drink an unnatural amount of green beer, corned beef, and everything minty. But mostly the beer, right? Whether or not you know why you are honoring Saint Patrick, I’m all…
Cookies and Cream Macarons
C is for coooooookies and cream macarons! — I’m back with another mac attack. Right when you thought that macarons were soooo 2016, I’m here to fight and say that they are here to stay. My Macarons 101 guide is now the most viewed post on the blog. I get tons of questions emailed and posted…
Simple Dark Chocolate Ganache Tart + Sugared Raspberries
A classic tart is one of the top 10 desserts that you should have in your back pocket notepad o’ recipes. It’s my go-to for impromptu dinner parties or events that I was asked to bring dessert for weeks ago and completely forgot about until the day of. When you run a blog called Southern…

Naan Campfire S’mores
Everyone loves a good s’more. These nostalgic treats are the type that you randomly crave at the most inconvenient times. Crisp graham cracker, gooey chocolate topped with the lightest, cloud-like marshmallows. It’s the best of everything. We’re bringing the campfire into the kitchen with this oven-baked naan based s’more recipe.
Strawberry Almond Dutch Baby
A pancake, a crêpe, and a hot skillet walk into a bar…. I spotted the trio, and ate them all. *dances* — But, seriouly. A Dutch baby is a beautiful thing. That’s saying something, since most all babies aren’t really much to look at. This is the fat baby with sugar all over its face…
Chocolate Mallow Cups
Candy is dandy, but… well… candy is just dandy. Everyone loves a handheld sweet treat or two during their day. Some of the most nostalgic sweets are the ones coated in chocolate, filled with everything that dreams are made of. For me, that’s good ol’ marshmallow fluff.
Peppermint Bark Blondies
Everyone knows that blond(ies) have the most fun. Holiday baking is no exception. Before I collapse from the sugar overload during the festive season, I haaaaave to share this recipe with y’all. Classic, buttery blondies packed full of white chocolate, vanilla, and brown sugary brownie-esque goodness. All topped with a double chocolate peppermint bark crown.
Dipped Marshmallow White Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Holy chocolate, Batman! It’s that time of the year when everyone pulls out their favorite cookies recipes, forcing you to completely lose sight of the everything rational, eating every single one. That’s all fine and dandy, but we’re gonna kick thing up a bit. You’ve all seen plenty of cookie recipes, since this whole internet…
