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…

Brown Butter Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies
It’s starting to get chillllay outside. FINALLY. Except for the couple 80 degree days randomly squeezed between the 50 degree vibes that we have been having, fall is almost full force here in Nashville. Those first few days of the season are my absolute favorite. Keep reading for the best cozy comfort cookies.
Rice Krispies Treat Macarons
Instant flashback. You know you love a good Rice Krispies Treat (or ten). One of those classic snacks that you can’t stop eating, and will never stop loving, I decided to try to squish it into the ever-so-popular, slightly more delicate, macaron. Rustic and absolutely delicious– Rice Krispies Treat Macarons have arrived.
Pluot Meringue Tart
With summer creeping towards fall, it’s the perfect chance to grab your favorite fruits for a last hoo-rah in the kitchen. What better way to do that than with some crazy science-experiment hybrid fruit that happens to taste like heaven itself?? I’m obviously referring to the pluot. The what?? Pluot! Think plum + apricot. Now…
Pineapple Chili’d Ginger Cream Pops
Summer loving’, had me a blaaaaast. Summer lovin’, happened so faaaaast. Made some ‘sicles, cute as can be! Summer. Popsicles. ‘Nough said! — Pineapple Chili’d Ginger Pops for a summer chill and twist. These ain’t yo’ momma’s pops.
Tequila Lime Watermelon Sorbet
Summer is for swimming, parks, attempting to garden, exploring. Oh. And tequila. It’s for tequila. I’m using a sweet and tart (not to be confused with Sweet Tarts… but don’t steal that idea from me!) tequila lime spiked simple syrup to bring new life into one of the summer’s most famous fruits– Tequila Lime…
Peach Purple Basil Hand Pies
It’s no secret that you aren’t really a Southern boy unless you were raised on peaches and pecan (pies). This is the time of year that everyone starts getting super antsy about. When are the peaches going to be ready?! I don’t see any market stands yet! *panics* Fret no more, my sweet…
Babka Twist Doughnuts
We’re going to have a bit of a come-to-Jesus moment here right now. Baking can be one of the most frustrating hobbies to take up. There will be times when everything works out beautifully, the results look flawless, those danishes taste just like you walked them out of a bakery with your wooden shoes clanking…
Peaches & Cream Sweet Babka
I feel like I should start this with some sort of Seinfeld reference or something… Alas, I don’t know any. So, alternatively, I’ll just start by saying– Don’t kvetsh! This nosh is sure to impress even the most dedicated baleboste in the kitchen. (I hope I did all of that right….) Sweetened,…
Berry Crumble Bars
Diets are totally overrated, y’all. It’s summer. Time for me to get that bikini body back, ya know? Well…. about that. I’m a strong believer that balance is what makes success. Have some spinach (on a pizza). Whole grain brown rice (fried, obv). Steamed broccoli… covered in cheese sauce. See– balanced. During my balancing…
