The fluffiest of fluffy homemade marshmallow recipes. Vanilla bean and peppermint layered marshmallows topped with soft peppermint crushed candy, white chocolate, and crushed cookies and cream cookies. This post is sponsored by Kroger. Over the years (years, y’all… it’s still a bit cray to think that I’ve had this blog thing going since December of…

White Chocolate Peppermint Madeleines
Buttery rich French madeleines dipped in white chocolate with a sprinkle of festive peppermint candy cane pieces. Perfect morning or afternoon bite-sized perks with coffee or tea. Made simply with butter, flour, sugar, and eggs. One of my favorite memories from visiting Paris was picking a random arrondissement in the morning and walking around. You could…
Kentucky Derby + Mint Julep Madness
Julep season is upon us! Although I would strongly argue that all year is technically julep season, it is undoubtably the time of year when everyone and their mother decides that they need to bust out the mint and mix up the famous southern sipper. Growing up in Kentucky, the Derby was the Cinderella’s Ball of…
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…

Gin Mint Julep
That’s right, y’all! It’s that time of year again. DERBY TIME! — You can’t be from Kentucky without completely shutting down for the entire week of the Derby. Spending all of your time with juleps and friends is mandatory. Last year, I shared 4 different takes on the Classic Mint Julep with varieties including Rose, Mango, and…
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…
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…
Dragon Fruit Mojito
Do you ever go out to a restaurant or event and try a dish or drink that you just have to recreate at home? I find myself in that situation pretty often. It’s a great excuse to have an extra nightcap. You kn0w… for research sake. After tasting a unique margarita while browsing around Nashville in…
Julep Week: Meyer Lemon Julep
After having a little bit of a spicy sip for Cinco de Derby yesterday with our Mango Jalapeño Julep, I thought it would be good to take thing a bit over to the tart side of life. We’re taking beautifully sweet and citrus Meyer lemons, and squeezing them into a delightfully fresh julep for Kentucky Oaks…
