Buttermilk and Berry Cake
Today I am sharing a delicious, fluffy, moist, incredibly easy, no special tools cake that is PERFECT for Memorial Day! Many of you have mentioned that you don’t have stand mixer or even hand mixers so you’re wondering if my recipes can be made without them. Some of them work best with an electric mixer,…
Chewy Chocolate Cherry Cookies
Chocolate and cherries is one of my favorite pairings. If there are chocolate covered cherries somewhere, you will find me eating them. And I’ve recently discovered the joys of Ben and Jerry’s Cherry Garcia ice cream, which has me on a whole new chocolate cherry kick. So these chocolate cherry cookies are an ode to…

Mixed Berry Crumb Bars

Peanut Butter Shortbread Cookies
Peanut butter is one of my all time favorite foods. I still eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches way more often than is acceptable for an adult and I often just eat peanut butter by the spoonful. So in an effort to eat peanut butter in a more “adult-like” manner, I wanted to create a…
