This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Altos Tequila. All opinions are 100% mine. BBQ season! There’s really nothing like grilling out, cooking dinner and having drinks with friends after a long day or to kick off the weekend. Something that I’ve noticed from the countless backyard invites has been the…
Dessert
Chai Caramel Cream Eclairs
Hey, y’all! It’s been a hot minute, I know. Summer (I guess it’s actually technically spring still… but this heat tells me we skipped spring and went straight for summer.) has been kicking my ass. I randomly decided to move into a new place in Nashville. Good and bad about that. Lots of huge, bright,…
Thin Mint Ganache Brownies
St. Patrick’s Day is almost here! You know… that day that you probably don’t know the meaning of, but still use it as an excuse to drink an unnatural amount of green beer, corned beef, and everything minty. But mostly the beer, right? Whether or not you know why you are honoring Saint Patrick, I’m all…
Cookies and Cream Macarons
C is for coooooookies and cream macarons! — I’m back with another mac attack. Right when you thought that macarons were soooo 2016, I’m here to fight and say that they are here to stay. My Macarons 101 guide is now the most viewed post on the blog. I get tons of questions emailed and posted…
Simple Dark Chocolate Ganache Tart + Sugared Raspberries
A classic tart is one of the top 10 desserts that you should have in your back pocket notepad o’ recipes. It’s my go-to for impromptu dinner parties or events that I was asked to bring dessert for weeks ago and completely forgot about until the day of. When you run a blog called Southern…
Banana Pudding Whiskey Cupcakes
Here in the South, banana puddin’ (or pudding, if you’re fancy) is the nectar of the gods. If you go to any legit meat and three, it is expected that this will one of your 3 veggies. It totally counts, and you’d be a fool to not follow the tradition. Since I sometime don’t feel…
Unicorn Macarons
Some of you may be thinking that I started some crazy fad New Year’s diet and am just confused and hallucinating a bit with this one. Others will know what all of the kids are up to these days and realize that this is my my take on a recent popular cheery unicorn dessert fad. Everyone wants a…
Santa Claus Conchas Donuts
Ho.. Ho.. dHonuts, y’all! There is a favorite panadería, or Mexican bakery, in Nashville that I discovered this past year. It’s hidden in a little corner of the city, and holds some of the best sweet pastries and breads in town. It’s my little secret, and I’m never going to tell any of ya where it…
Naan Baked Ice Cream Cones
December is here and I’m officially in holiday mode. Fa la la la laaaaa! — Bring on the flashing lights, excessive eating, the road rage when there is a bit of snow in the air and people forget how to drive, the ice cream! Wait… what? Ya. You heard me. The ice cream! One of…
Gingersnap Pumpkin Tart with Nutmeg Meringues
I teased y’all a bit yesterday with some beautifully delicious nutmeg meringues. Since I decided that you’d probably judge me if I said that I made a sheet full of meringues just to stand in the kitchen and eat them one by one…. that I would make something else to put them on. Thanksgiving dessert train…
