If you’ve been following along with my Instagram photos this past week, you’ll know that I returned home after a little visit with the main Mouse himself in Florida. Warm and full of more sugar than a person should be physically possible to hold, I ended the week wanting something that I can’t say I want…

Caramel Apple Soda Bread
That’s right, kiddos. Another caramel apple post. This time, we’ll toss it into a super-simple take on traditional soda bread.
Caramel Apple Pops
I can remember being in middle school (just a few years ago, ya know…), back when they used to allow kids to buy Pop Tarts as lunch items, have assemblies to show a yo-yo performer that wanted to sell you the world’s best yo-yo (Yes, I bought two.), and candy was sold for a quarter…
Apple Bourbon Steak Fajitas
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Campbell’s Slow Cooker Sauces. All opinions are 100% mine. Since things are cooling off outside, I’m trying to get the absolute most out of the daylight hours. Meeting friends for drinks after work, attending some local food events, all of the million festivals that are…
Blackberry Goat Cheese Focaccia
I’ve been in a bread-making mood for quite some time now. Something about homemade bread just screams comfort to me. Once you get the basics of bread making down, you can venture into just about anything– savory or sweet. Trying to grasp onto the very last of summer (even though it has strangely been the hottest…
Pluot Meringue Tart
With summer creeping towards fall, it’s the perfect chance to grab your favorite fruits for a last hoo-rah in the kitchen. What better way to do that than with some crazy science-experiment hybrid fruit that happens to taste like heaven itself?? I’m obviously referring to the pluot. The what?? Pluot! Think plum + apricot. Now…
Cherry Reduction Sauce
When life gives you cherries….. you make everything that you possibly can out of them! We’ve been overrun here in the South with fresh, local cherries. It’s nearing the end of their season, so I wanted to get my fix in as much as possible. I had a big pile of cherry pulp leftover…
Vanilla Bourbon Sipper
Cherry here, cherry there, cherries errrrrywhere! Tis’ the season here in Tennessee. Every single market around town is packed full of rosy, bold, bubbly picks that are just screaming to be transformed into something delicious. I can’t walk by a table without grabbing a bunch. It’s almost like they are just whispering my name like some…
Bruleed Banana Daiquiri
I scream. You scream. We all scream for… daiquiris! Pretty sure that’s how it goes. Frozen bananas at amusement parks, smoothies to get your sunny day started, banana bread to use up those not so pretty picks. This fruit screams summer to me, so why not turn it into a nice frozen draaaaank?! Moving…
Pineapple Chili’d Ginger Cream Pops
Summer loving’, had me a blaaaaast. Summer lovin’, happened so faaaaast. Made some ‘sicles, cute as can be! Summer. Popsicles. ‘Nough said! — Pineapple Chili’d Ginger Pops for a summer chill and twist. These ain’t yo’ momma’s pops.
