I’ve grown up in Kentucky, and lived in Tennessee for 6 years now. During that time, as you could imagine, I’ve been surrounded by the world’s best whiskey and bourbon. No complaints here. It’s a pretty great thing to have around. When you end up with tons of something, you start to try and create new,…

Fig Bourbon Caramel Gelato
This little figgy went to the market…. this little figgy ended up in gelato! You’ve probably noticed that I have a new found love for all things fig. I recently posted a recipe for Fig Mille-Feuille, and now I’m mixing it up in some homemade gelato. Yes. It is fall/pre-winter. Yes. I am still eating…
Maple Pecan Brittle
Stacks and stacks of crunchy caramelized sugar, packed full of pecans, walnuts, cherries, apple bits, all glazed with maple syrup and cinnamon. I’m pretty sure that I could just drop the blogger mic and be done. Brittle is one of those things that I think about all year long, but really only usually enjoy during…
Classic Cake Donuts
I’ve got a problem, y’all. A serious donut problem. I don’t know if there is some sort inner cop in me that is just now making it’s way out, a Homer Simpson secret identity, or possibly the fact that I’ve been forced into this adult life that has me out of bed at an ungodly hour…
Fig Mille-Feuille
When life gives you figs…. you become obsessed with them and make everything you can possibly think until you can barely bare to look at one again. Since we’re in the middle of fig season, I don’t feel as badly for flooding your feeds with all of the resulting recipes in the upcoming weeks. While…
Chicken Caesar Naan Tacos
I don’t have kids. I mean… I don’t have children, per say. My two cats seem to be a lot of work, but since I’ve weaned them from their diapers, it’s pretty simple. Lots of my friends have tiny kids that seem to be a lot of work. Getting them ready for school, rushing them off…
Sun-dried Tomato & Basil Soft Pretzels
With September finally creeping in, everything fall is on my mind already. Summer is dandy and all, but fall is really where it’s at. I may be jumping the gun a bit, but when I think of fall foods, soft pretzels are one of the bites that comes to mind. I’ve loaded up my favorite classic…
How to Make a Mirror Glazed Cake
I’m sure you’ve seen them by now. Those cake finishes that should be on a wall for you to look at yourself in. Super-glossy, bright colors, almost too pretty to eat. (Almost. Nothing is ever too pretty to actually eat.) After plenty of painstaking hours of testing recipes and half-assed finishes, I finally mastered the shimmering…
Bitter Bit Beautiful Grapefruit Cocktail
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of IZZE. All opinions are 100% mine. I made a discovery this summer. It’s pretty much one of the best discoveries that I’ve ever made. Since I’m an adult now, and adults have these things called jobs; Jobs can sometimes leave you a tiiiiny bit…
Roasted Tomatillo Radish Salsa
I love salsa. You love salsa. We all love salsa. *mic drop* The fresh produce season of summer here in the South brings all kinds of amazing opportunity to create amazingly fresh twists on classic favorites. Salsa isn’t getting ignored in this flavor train. With a box full ‘o goodies, I decided to roast some…
