Some of you may be thinking that I started some crazy fad New Year’s diet and am just confused and hallucinating a bit with this one. Others will know what all of the kids are up to these days and realize that this is my my take on a recent popular cheery unicorn dessert fad. Everyone wants a…

Persimmon Ginger Gin Fizz
Happy New Year, y’all! *fireworks, drinks, cheers, etc.* Now that we’ve got that out of the way, I’m sharing a total kitchen experiment turned amazingness with you. I was given a few persimmons that a friend is lucky enough to have grow in their back yard here in Nashville. What else would I do with…
Santa Claus Conchas Donuts
Ho.. Ho.. dHonuts, y’all! There is a favorite panadería, or Mexican bakery, in Nashville that I discovered this past year. It’s hidden in a little corner of the city, and holds some of the best sweet pastries and breads in town. It’s my little secret, and I’m never going to tell any of ya where it…
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…
Nutmeg Meringues
With Thanksgiving and fall dishes in full swing within most kitchens this week, I wanted to kick things off with something simple but unique. If you’ve looked back at a few of my recent desserts, you’ll notice that I’ve been pretty keen on decorating them with meringue. Meringue kisses, pavlovas, swirls. It’s just so much fun…
Fig Bourbon Caramel Gelato
This little figgy went to the market…. this little figgy ended up in gelato! You’ve probably noticed that I have a new found love for all things fig. I recently posted a recipe for Fig Mille-Feuille, and now I’m mixing it up in some homemade gelato. Yes. It is fall/pre-winter. Yes. I am still eating…
Classic Cake Donuts
I’ve got a problem, y’all. A serious donut problem. I don’t know if there is some sort inner cop in me that is just now making it’s way out, a Homer Simpson secret identity, or possibly the fact that I’ve been forced into this adult life that has me out of bed at an ungodly hour…
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…
How to Make a Mirror Glazed Cake
I’m sure you’ve seen them by now. Those cake finishes that should be on a wall for you to look at yourself in. Super-glossy, bright colors, almost too pretty to eat. (Almost. Nothing is ever too pretty to actually eat.) After plenty of painstaking hours of testing recipes and half-assed finishes, I finally mastered the shimmering…
Jalapeno Peach Tequila Pops
Here we are, y’all. Mid-summer. Weekends at the lake, failed diets, patio parties with friends. It’s all in full swing and I’m not going to do anything to slow down the pace. Put those crazy college tequila memories aside. I’m going to show you my favorite frozen infusion for all of my summer shindigs. We’re…
