If you need a super quick party treat, this is it! I don’t mean super-quick as in 30 minutes. I’m talking 5 minutes. You probably already have everything at home to make them, too. Grab the rest of the bag of milk chocolate chips that you have been snacking on since you last made…

Candied Pecan Cheese Danish
I doubt you have noticed… but I tend to post more sweet recipes than savory ones. It’s not that I don’t enjoy regular food or anything. I just really enjoy the baking side of a kitchen. Baking is very technical, something that I find comforting (Scientist, what?) once you have a good grasp on…
Baked Candied Pecans
Short and sweet… and certainly addictive! With my family being from Georgia, I grew up on pecans. I can remember sitting in my grandmother’s living room after family holidays with a nut sheller for hours. That was the deal. She would give us a couple boxes (yes… boxes.) of perfect Georgia pecans if we…
Leprechaun Patties
Arrrrr! Wait… Tee Hee! I’m not quite sure what noise a leprechaun makes, but whatever it is will be exactly the sound that you will be making after trying these delicious cookie sandwiches. A bit of Baileys will perfectly accent the dark, sweetened chocolate sablé cookies with a smooth, creamy mint filling between. I’ll…
Cream Puffs / Pâte à Choux
It’s a Saturday morning(ish) and you manage to crawl out of bed and stumble into your favorite Chinese buffet for lunch. What is better than plates of beige fried food and unlimited sushi for $7.49? The cream puffs at the end, that’s what. I’m going to show you one of the easiest, best tasting…
Cuppa Cuppa Cuppa Cake
There is nothing that I love more than a super-simple, sweet recipe. Well, other than Dolly Parton. This is Nashville, after all. This recipe combines the best of both worlds. The Cuppa Cuppa Cuppa Cake is a the sweet creation of Truvy (Dolly Parton) from one of the all-time best classic movies, Steel…
Sweet Tomato Jam
“Tomatoes. Somebody’s gotta take ’em. I hate ’em! I try not to eat healthy food if I can possibly help it.” -Ouiser, Steel Magnolias Tomato what? Right. So let’s get this out of the way right off the bat. I know that tomato jam may sound a bit, well… off. Stick with me, though!…
Almond Amaretto Tarts
Another boozy baking post? I think so! This time, we will be making delicious tarts with a buttery, flaky crust, a creamy almond (frangipane) filling and smooth amber amaretto-infused caramel nut topping.
{Award-Winning} Cell Cookies
Monocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, phagocytes… OH MY! High school biology flashback, anyone? Whether you enjoyed science or not, I know you will enjoy eating it! Geek out with our cellular, iced cookies.
Samoa Mini Doughnuts
I was in my lab this past week, and someone came in and asked if I wanted to order some…. YES! YES! Of course I want to order some Girl Scout cookies! My heart starting beating rapidly. Most likely somewhat out of sync out of anticipation. I’ll take 8. 8 boxes. 2 Thin Mint®, 2 peanut…
