Hot pastry, cold ice cream, warm apples with cinnamon. Y’all know this is where it’s at. Instead of the typical apple pie, I decided to make the most out of one of the rare, stuck-at-home snow days in Nashville with a bit of a twist on the classic favorite. Spiraled apples, because obviously that way…
Boozy Root Beer Whiskey Cream Floats
I’m starting to have those twitches in anticipation of Spring. I’ve had absolutely enough of this cold, snowy mess. What I haven’t had enough of is cold, messy drinks. Any excuse to pour whiskey and root beer and more whiskey over ice cream is a good excuse to me. In anticipation for the upcoming Super Bowl…
World’s Best Brussels Sprouts
It may surprise all of you that I was never the kid that just begged for more greens on my plate. I would qualify a couple (literally) green beans as having my share of vegetables that I was required. Logically, I still think I was in the right. I still prefer a plate of monotoned…
Fried Mashed Potato Balls
When I was a kid, I can remember going to a University of Kentucky football game. If any of you know anything about Kentucky, you’ll know how horrible of an idea that even is. When we got there, it started to snow. It continued to snow. Eventually, someone in my family was able to pry…
5-Minute Citrus Kale Salad
I know. I know. A second salad posted in an entire year. So sue me. — With all of the annual new year buzz about healthy eating, I’ve sorta slowly eased onto the bus (or jumped in front of the train, if you’re an optimist like myself). Not only am I posting another salad recipe,…

Happy New Year! Happy 2nd Blog Birthday! Happy eat-all-of-this Berry Bourbon Cake day! I’m thrilled to kick off the new year with a million things to celebrate all at once. It just wouldn’t be right if I didn’t do it with a bit of boozy baking, which happens to be my favorite kind of baking….
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…
Double Vanilla Sage Biscuits
B-b-b-b-biscuits, y’all! If there is anything sacred here in the South, it’s the biscuits. Every family has their own secret recipe, special way of preparing it, or twist on the classic favorite. Mine is no exception to that standard. A good biscuit can be transformed into a savory side for dinner or even a sweet…
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.
