I’m ho ho home for the holidays and basically surviving on everything peppermint for the rest of the year. Growing up, we would go to my grandmother’s house for Christmas every year. One thing was on my mind during those trips (other than presents, obv). Peppermint ice cream. Do you remember the type? Litte bits…

Mango Streusel Muffins
Hey there, my little winter warm muffins! I’ve got a nice fluffy semi-savory with a little sweet recipe for y’all today. Mango packed muffins with a brown sugar and cinnamon streusel crumble topping to help you all cope with the dreary cold season that is in full swing. These may sound a bit sweet, but they are…
Cinnamon Marshmallow-Iced Shortbread Cookies
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Boar’s Head. All opinions are 100% mine. I have two new obsessions. Shortbread everything and marshmallow everything. Not that these are really all that new, but I tend to go through phases where I go ballistic with making recipes with some key ingredients that…
Brandy Snaps with Honey Whipped Cream
The most wonderful time of year. Holiday baking season! — I don’t normally jump onto the winter holiday train so quickly, but I think there is a bit of wiggle room when it comes to baking. I’m definately judging you for putting up that tree before Thanksgiving has passed, but it is perfectly acceptable to…
Bananas Foster Bourbon Bundt Cakes
Say that three times fast…. after eating some of this glaze icing. How often do you all find yourself sitting around the house in your adult-fit onesie, watching YouTube recordings of early seasons of The Great British Bake Off, an Old Fashioned in hand, thinking of new blog recipe ideas? That’s a regular Saturday morning…

Along with the finally cooler weather, I’m bringing you all a classic quick cookie recipe with an apple butter twist. If there is anything that screams fall, it’s apple butter. Thumbprint…
Blueberry White Chocolate Ganache Truffles
You’ve all glued yourself to those chocolate shop windows with the gorgeous filled truffles, right? You know what I’m talking about… When the shop owner bangs on the window because your face is pressed up against the glass and you’re drooling all of the outside. One of those places. Turns out, they aren’t as hard…
Elvis Dessert Waffles
Go ahead… Take a hot minute to just look and drool over these waffles. Just a couple months ago, I took a little break from the busy streets of Nashville to visit the super-busy streets of London. It had been a couple years since I had been previously, and with a shiny new camera in…
Eclipse Mirror Galaxy Glazed Moon Pies
It’s no secret that I am a total nerd. Working as a research biologist goes hand-in-hand with my love of very technical baking. Lately, there has been a huge geek-fest going on because of the upcoming eclipse. This is the first total solar eclipse in the continental US since 1970. People are losing their minds…
Blueberry Buttercream Macarons
As a food photographer, I am constantly filling up hard drives with photos. Most of them sorta just disappear into the deep, dark folders of my computer to never again be seen. The select few get edited and used for blog posts, client advertising, some magazine articles. Every so often, I’ll be browsing around for…
