Once people find out that you bake, they always want you to bring a sweet treat to their house, party, bar mitzvah, work meeting, pet’s vet appointment… anything really. This silky chocolate pie has become my go-to quick dessert. It can be made in 20 minutes, but tastes like something that took hours in…
Sweet Tea Julep
Annnnd we’re off! Nashville Neigher with a slow start… Tennessee Honey to the front… Wait! Southern FATTY is wiggling to the front from the side… annnnnd he’s won! Southern FATTY has done it! That’s right kids. It’s Derby time! As a Kentucky boy, I remember Derby being one of the most anticipated events of the…
Simple, Quick Pizza Dough
Homemade pizza is a go-to dinner at my place, making an appearance about once every week or so. I always have some sort of tomato-based sauce sitting around beside some leftover vegetables and cheese. The glorious thing about pizza is that you can throw just about anything you want on it and it will…
Monster Peep Cookies
So, Easter is now over and you (may) have piles of candy left. Let’s be honest… you probably don’t. But, imagine that you do. Maybe a few extra Homemade Peeps that you made last week after our post? If, like me, you have zero candy left (and only an upset stomach left to show),…
Baked Blackberry Brie
I recently grabbed a wheel of brie on my last big grocery haul, having zero clue what I would really end up doing with it. I thought it would be nice to use at some point. It sat in my fridge for a while. I didn’t want to just cut it up and eat it. That…
Homemade Marshmallow Peeps
As a P.K. (Preacher’s Kid in layperson speak), Easter was always a bit of a stressful day. Everyone would throw on their best dress; Mom would force me into some pastel sweater or children’s clip-on bow tie. You know the drill. All of this didn’t seem to matter though because, well, PEEPS®! Those delicious,…
Cinnamon Sticky Buns {w Dulce de Leche Caramel}
Waking up is hard to do…. — UNLESS you are waking up to a sweet, sticky pastry packed full of cinnamon and topped with a deliciously creamy dulce de leche caramel sauce! Actually, you probably won’t even want to sleep at all when you have these waiting for you in the kitchen.
Chocolate Peanut Clusters
If you need a super quick party treat, this is it! I don’t mean super-quick as in 30 minutes. I’m talking 5 minutes. You probably already have everything at home to make them, too. Grab the rest of the bag of milk chocolate chips that you have been snacking on since you last made…
Candied Pecan Cheese Danish
I doubt you have noticed… but I tend to post more sweet recipes than savory ones. It’s not that I don’t enjoy regular food or anything. I just really enjoy the baking side of a kitchen. Baking is very technical, something that I find comforting (Scientist, what?) once you have a good grasp on…
Puff Pastry Dough
If someone asked you what your favorite sweet bakery treat would be, I would bet most of you would give an answer that includes some sort of puff pastry as it’s base. Croissants, danishes, and certainly the recently popular Cronut®.
