I’m pretty sure that in another life, I was a Mexican street food stand. Tacos, tortas, churros. Any of the road-side favs, really. I recently found an area of Nashville that has the absolute best tiny truck tacos in town. Also, they are like a dollar a piece. A DOLLAR, Y’ALL. Forget the fancy-pants hipster joints…
Confections / Sweets
Baked Apple Crumble Dumplings
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…
Berry Bourbon Cake
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….
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.

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…
Brown Sugar Cinnamon Whiskey Cream Eclairs
Chocolate and eclairs go together like…. well… whiskey and Nashville. Luckily, you aren’t going to have to choose one or the other for this treat. You can have your eclair and drink a little bit, too! *happy dance* We’re teaming up with a Southern favorite of mine, Jackson Morgan Southern Cream, to infuse a little…
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…
