Hey, y’all! — It’s been a hot (but actually super cold) minute, hasn’t it? Let’s just have a come to Jesus moment here and talk about it. I took a bit of a break from the blog over the holidays, not just to shut down, but actually to work on some exciting new projects. Lots…

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…
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,…
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…
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…
Churro Ice Cream Sandwiches
I’m pretty sure that in another life, I was a Mexican street food stand. Tacos, tortas, churros. Any of the road-side favs, really. I recently found an area of Nashville that has the absolute best tiny truck tacos in town. Also, they are like a dollar a piece. A DOLLAR, Y’ALL. Forget the fancy-pants hipster joints…
Baked Apple Crumble Dumplings
Hot pastry, cold ice cream, warm apples with cinnamon. Y’all know this is where it’s at. Instead of the typical apple pie, I decided to make the most out of one of the rare, stuck-at-home snow days in Nashville with a bit of a twist on the classic favorite. Spiraled apples, because obviously that way…
Boozy Root Beer Whiskey Cream Floats
I’m starting to have those twitches in anticipation of Spring. I’ve had absolutely enough of this cold, snowy mess. What I haven’t had enough of is cold, messy drinks. Any excuse to pour whiskey and root beer and more whiskey over ice cream is a good excuse to me. In anticipation for the upcoming Super Bowl…
Caramel Stuffed Snickerdoodle Cookies
During all of this holiday madness (baking, eating, baking, eating, eating, eating), cookies sometime get a bad wrap. Super-simple, sure. But sometimes they just are under appreciated at the holiday parties. We’re going to fix that today. Caramel Stuffed (you heard me!) Snickerdoodle Cookies for the win.
