With Thanksgiving and fall dishes in full swing within most kitchens this week, I wanted to kick things off with something simple but unique. If you’ve looked back at a few of my recent desserts, you’ll notice that I’ve been pretty keen on decorating them with meringue. Meringue kisses, pavlovas, swirls. It’s just so much fun…

A Few of My Favorite Things
If y’all are anything like moi, you’ve waited until just a few days before Christmas to do your gift shopping. Maybe you’re looking for the perfect unique ideas for the picky person, or trying to find ideas for other upcoming celebrations. Either way, I’ve got your back. I’m sharing some of my favorite finds of…
Caramel Stuffed Snickerdoodle Cookies
During all of this holiday madness (baking, eating, baking, eating, eating, eating), cookies sometime get a bad wrap. Super-simple, sure. But sometimes they just are under appreciated at the holiday parties. We’re going to fix that today. Caramel Stuffed (you heard me!) Snickerdoodle Cookies for the win.
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.
Party with Coca-Cola Cinnamon Sugar Donuts + Bottle Gift
It’s Christmas time, y’all! Time to bake more cookies than you know what to do with, mix a few batches of eggnog, throw some killer parties in hopes that your friends will bring you alllll of the gifts! Some of the best memories of the entire year are made right at the end during the…
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…
White Balsamic Butternut Salad
If you’ve been following along with my Instagram photos this past week, you’ll know that I returned home after a little visit with the main Mouse himself in Florida. Warm and full of more sugar than a person should be physically possible to hold, I ended the week wanting something that I can’t say I want…
German Roasted Candied Pecans
Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! Chag Sameach! FROHE WEIHNACHTEN! [I feel like German should always be screamed, ja?] — Also, keep reading for my pre-Thanksgiving Christmas content disclosure. Hopefully y’all know what these beauties are just by seeing that cone. I was walking around the touristy Opry mall this past weekend here in Nashville, and hit the wall-o-roasted-German-nuts smell…
Caramel Apple Pops
I can remember being in middle school (just a few years ago, ya know…), back when they used to allow kids to buy Pop Tarts as lunch items, have assemblies to show a yo-yo performer that wanted to sell you the world’s best yo-yo (Yes, I bought two.), and candy was sold for a quarter…
Macarons 101: A Beginner’s Guide and Printable Piping Template
Ahhhhh, les macarons. Could there be a better treat? These sweet, bite-sized almond pastries have exploded right out of their tiny shells during the past couple years. For good reason, I say. Out with the cupcakes and in with the macarons. (Ok… Cupcakes can stay, too.) I’m going to share my ups and downs of homemade…
