Move over Easter Bunny, I’m taking over the candy gig this year! — The absolute best part of the spring season, other than the actual daylight after noon that we finally get, is the candy. Y’all know what I’m talking about. It’s those bags of malted milk candy shell eggs that pull me into the…

Sweet Potato Marshmallow Glazed Eclairs
2018 has been crazy, and all I really need is a tray full of éclairs. I don’t want to complain too much, because I’m very blessed to have a wonderful outlet to chat with everyone on, but we’ve all been there. In the past month, I’ve had a couple computer crashes, dropped or burned just…
Spiked Peppermint Mocha Mousse
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…
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…

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…
Peanut Butter Cup S’mores Cupcakes
I know that I yap on a lot about “it’s SUMMER and this is what you should be eating!”, but…. IT’S SUMMER and this is PERFECT, y’all! — If there is a single iconic summer backyard treat that immediately sets the summer scene in my mind, it’s a s’more. I’ve made Fall S’mores with pumpkin…
