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.

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…

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.
