Want to know what’s better than a pumpkin pecan blondie? A pumpkin pecan blondie smothered in cream cheese glaze, that’s what. Honestly, what dessert wouldn’t benefit from a little (or a lot) of cream cheese glaze drizzled over it? The toasted pecans also bring a lot to the table, balancing the sweetness of the glaze […]

In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve been on the donut train lately. Honestly, how could I not be when they’re so darn easy to make? This time I went for pumpkin (hey, it’s fall and I’m basic) topped with a maple glaze. I’d like to say that I shared them with my family, but that […]

Pumpkin season is here people and I’m not mad about it! For me, pumpkin season 2020 means cozy sweaters, warm drinks and the kids making their much anticipated return to school after an excruciatingly long hiatus (Hallelujah baby Jesus). Listen, I think that we can all agree that we adore our children. We cradled them […]

Seriously though, while the creamy dessert is technically just a baked custard, it’s brought to a whole new level of sexy through the process of torching the top, creating the sheer, crackly layer of caramelized sugar we know and love.

Our aunt Susie makes the absolute BEST coconut cream pie. The first time I tasted it, I was tempted to hide in the pantry and eat the entire thing. Obviously I didn’t (mostly because there was a house full of witnesses), but I really, really wanted to. Anyway, while the recipe I’m sharing today isn’t […]

What ended up happening though was that logic took the backseat (or trunk since I’m not even sure logic was still in the vehicle) and my crazy, hormonal, PMS-ing […]

Prepare yourself for some sunshine in cookie form with these Lemon Sugar Cookies (and I don’t know about you, but I need all of the extra rays I can get at this point). Honestly, I’m having a hard time believing that September is just around the corner. While I love all things fall, I feel […]

You know the expression “when life gives you lemons”? Well, I feel like I’ve been buried in the sour fruit lately. Enough lemons, life – at least send limes so that I can make margaritas. Anyway, to mirror the state of things, I’ve decided to go with a lemon theme for the next few weeks. […]

Ah, mint: how you spark debates in our home. See, I love mint. I’d welcome the leafy herb into my kitchen any day. The kids and my spouse however, not so much. While my main squeeze can handle mint in savoury meals, he turns his nose up when it’s incorporated into desserts. Meanwhile, the kids […]

While there is certainly no bad brownie, there’s something to be said about the combination of salty peanut butter and fudgy chocolate. I went ahead and tried to make them healthy-ish by using Fatso Classic High-Performance Peanut Butter which is packed with plant based superfats, as well as chia and flax seeds (this makes my […]
