After finding a bakery within walking distance from my house, I quickly because hooked on kolache. This recipe is for a sweet yeast roll kolache with fresh blueberry filling, topped with streusel crumbles and pearl sugar. Perfect for brunch or a sweet tooth snack. Kolache aren’t something that I have grown up with, or probably…

Strawberry Basil Donuts
Do y’all ever find yourselves just kinda zoned out, thinking about donuts during a layover in a stuffy airport? I thought so. — I found myself doing exact that when I was on my way back home from a quick trip to Seattle a couple weeks ago. I think I ended up with a list…
Lasagna Hand Pies
This might be one of my favorite comfort food mix-ups yet, y’all. Lasagna is no joke in my house. There is something amazing that happens when you bake layers of sharp tomato sauce, beef, Italian seasoned ricotta, and creamy mozzarella together. The result is 100% comfort. I’ve teamed up with Gardein to show you how I turned…
Sweet Potato Marshmallow Glazed Eclairs
2018 has been crazy, and all I really need is a tray full of éclairs. I don’t want to complain too much, because I’m very blessed to have a wonderful outlet to chat with everyone on, but we’ve all been there. In the past month, I’ve had a couple computer crashes, dropped or burned just…
Blueberry Buttercream Macarons
As a food photographer, I am constantly filling up hard drives with photos. Most of them sorta just disappear into the deep, dark folders of my computer to never again be seen. The select few get edited and used for blog posts, client advertising, some magazine articles. Every so often, I’ll be browsing around for…

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…
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,…
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…
Fig Mille-Feuille
When life gives you figs…. you become obsessed with them and make everything you can possibly think until you can barely bare to look at one again. Since we’re in the middle of fig season, I don’t feel as badly for flooding your feeds with all of the resulting recipes in the upcoming weeks. While…
