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…
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….
Lemon Curd Sandwich Cookies
When it gets warm out, there is nothing better than a nice cold lemonade. So when it comes to the first signs of spring, the first thing I always want to bake is something lemony. After the weirdest few weeks of weather, it is finally supposed to be nice out (and then go straight back…
Mixed Berry Crumb Bars
Growing up, we had a really great bakery a few towns over that made some delicious raspberry crumb bars. I wanted to bake up something inspired by them that were super easy and delicious. These bars use the same dough for the base and the crumb topping, which makes whipping them up a breeze! The…
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…
