Recently a friend told me peanut butter blossom cookies were overrated. What?! Are you even my friend? How is this possible? I’m not exactly sure how these became a Christmas cookie, but I don’t even care. They’re delicious. On a scale from 1-10, how much do you love this classic? A 14? Yep. Me, too….
Salted Caramel Apple Tart
This salted caramel apple tart is a great dessert to make when you want to make something for a group that looks super fancy but doesn’t require a lot of fuss. This tart takes about an hour and 20 minutes total time from start to finish, and only about 20 minutes of that time is…
Chocolate Raspberry Tart
With less than 10 ingredients, this chocolate raspberry tart is everything you need for the upcoming holidays. It also takes about 10 minutes TOTAL to throw together, so if you need something quick and healthy, look no further. This dessert is gluten free, Paleo-friendly, refined sugar-free AND vegan. Something for everyone’s dietary needs (except it has…
Chocolate Fudge Sundae Cupcakes
I turned 34 this week, y’all. Thirty. Freakin’. Four. It feels good…but also weird to be in my mid-30s because I still consider myself to be perpetually 24. In honor of this celebratory day my mother pushed me out with everything she had, here are the top 10 things I’ve learned this year: Education has…
Beef Stew with Carrots, Potatoes, and Mushrooms
Hey, stew! You’re such a good companion on a Sunday, when the Sunday scaries set in (you know, the moment it starts getting dark and you realize you have to go to work the next day…those scaries). This is not a weeknight dinner for us by any means because it requires you to do a…
Crispy Smashed Potatoes
These crispy smashed potatoes are so easy, you don’t even need me, but it’s a nice reminder if you love potatoes like I do and want to switch up your regular go-to. For us, our go-to is always a baked potato. Although they look like they had a really rough hump day (sounds familiar), these…
Apple Bundt Cake with Brown Sugar Glaze
I feel like if this apple bundt cake with brown sugar glaze were to have a natural habitat, it would definitely be amongst the peak of fall leaves that’s happening right now. The gorgeous yellow, red, brown, and orange leaves make the glaze look almost golden. Forgive me for holding an outdoor photo shoot with…
Mummy Sugar Cookies for Halloween
This week’s dessert is Halloween themed, of course…and will hopefully last us until it’s actually Halloween, when I will then have to hoard my children’s candy and slowly throw it away bit by bit (or maybe I’ll bring it to school). Last year was really the first year the older one “got” Halloween, and with…
Turkey Chili For The Win
It’s chili season…and I just want to dive into a vat of this chili and stay because it’s so cold outside. I didn’t even get a chance to acclimate to colder temperatures because we just skipped fall altogether. I also remember saying the same thing about summer, so I’m pretty sure Mother Nature just needs…
Small Batch Pumpkin Scones with Maple Glaze
Yesterday, my dear friend came over with her husband and new baby to watch the Georgia v. LSU game (I’m still not ready to comment on this). While I’m decent at meal planning for the week or knocking things off my to-do list at work, I’m terrible at self-care. Not the massage or mani/pedi self-care…
