Today we’re talking about skillet cookies. But this is no ordinary skillet cookie. For this skillet cookie, you make the cookie dough directly in the cast iron pan that you will cook it in, so you dirty less dishes. Which sure, is great, but you know what’s even better? BROWN BUTTER. And that’s the base…

Bananas Foster Upside Down Cake
Today is another recipe inspired by my best friend Chelsey’s family, my second family. During high school, I spent a majority of my time at their house. So much so that I had my designated spot on the couch. Whenever we had sleepovers, Chelsey’s mom would make us pancakes with bananas foster for breakfast. It…
Brown Butter Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies
My friend Julia mentioned to me these amazing oatmeal butterscotch cookies she had at a restaurant when she was working on a project out of town. So even though her description of them was just that they were delicious and chewy, and I had no photos or anything to go off of, I decided to…
Peanut Butter Banana Bread Squares
One of my all time favorite foods is peanut butter – it’s right up there with sushi and chocolate. Growing up, I actually used to eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich every morning for breakfast. So I think peanut butter is a very important addition to any good breakfast food! When I set out…
Sunday Cinnamon Rolls
These cinnamon rolls are the best thing to have a Sunday morning. Jared likes to sleep in on the weekends, but I am still an early bird. So I like to get up and prep these so Jared can wake up to the smell of freshly baked cinnamon rolls. (How lucky is he???) You can…
Nutella Pretzel Swirl Cookies
My best friend from college, Kayla, is obsessed with Nutella and pretzels. In college, it was always her go-to snack and now whenever she comes to visit, I make sure I always have it on hand! She likes lots of other things now too, but still it’s a happy snack with lots of good memories….
Brown Butter White Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies
I am also calling these cookies sunshine cookies because for this batch I used unicorn chips (which are vanilla flavored morsels that are dyed pink and blue) to add some color to the cookies and happiness to everyone who sees them! We all need rainbow food right now! If you can’t tell from all of…
Brown Butter Pantry Cookies
We are living in a really strange time with COVID-19 and you might be finding yourself with a lot of new found time on your hands to bake, a pantry full of mismatched ingredients, and 0 desire to venture outside. These cookies are your answer. They use my all time favorite cookie base with caramel…
Apple Pie Rice Pudding
Jared’s favorite dessert is rice pudding. I’m not kidding. If you give him a dessert menu with all of the best options like chocolate cake, lemon meringue pie, or an apple crisp and rice pudding, he will ALWAYS choose rice pudding. One year for his birthday I even took him for dessert at a rice…
Mojito Cake
Mojitos are the ultimate summer beverage. If you love mojitos or the combination of mint and lime, this cake is for you. In each layer, there is more mojito flavor that builds. There is lime and mint in the cake, in the curd that sits in between the layers, and even more in the frosting….
