Buttermilk Pecan Pie Bars
I just couldn’t help myself, guys. One more Thanksgiving recipe. I got this idea for “buttermilk pecan pie bars” the other day and couldn’t shake it until seeing these babies to fruition.
Speaking of babies….

Pumpkin Spice Donut Holes
I can’t, in my right food-blogging mind, allow November to slip away without posting some kind of pumpkin recipe! And the other day I woke up with a hardcore craving for donut holes. …
Homemade Almond Joys
Happy [almost] Halloween, guys and ghouls!
Well, I’m officially in the home stretch… 36 weeks pregnant and thanking baby Jesus for Halloween (is that twisted?! ha!) as an “excuse” to be eating all the sweet things. These days, anything coconut & chocolate has my whole attention. Actually, rewind. That’s been true for me since I was a little girl!

Chocolate + Pistachio Dipped Macaroons
Feliz (almost) navidad everyone! I hope you are able to find time within the hustle and bustle of the holidays to slow down and enjoy time with loved ones. It can be so easy for me to get wrapped up in all the little minutae, but cooking has a magical way of allowing me to push pause and be in the moment with whomever is near. People always end up in the kitchen, after all! These macaroons are a festive take on my husband’s favorite cookie. They’re easy and so delicious if you are a coconut lover. ¡Buen provecho!…
Fig + Honey Buttermilk Cake
Happy November, foodie friends! I can’t believe the time has already come to start brainstorming holiday recipes and entertaining ideas. …
Salted Butterscotch Brownies
So, I’m thinking the best way to not only get us through, but to actually savor the sweetness of a crazy Monday may just have to include these salted butterscotch brownies….
