What could be better than a s’mores peanut butter ice cream pie to usher in those last warm nights of sweet summertime? Not much if you ask this pregnant mama (and baby girl I might add..on whom I blame my newfound sweet tooth.) …
Buttered Pistachio Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches
My husband is on this big get-fit kick and I’m over here 5 months pregnant devouring ice cream sandwiches. What happened to sympathy bellies and dad bods? Are those old news? …
Plum + Basil Butter Crisp
Helloooo, sweltering Texas heat. There you are, old friend. We have officially hit the triple digits and are going nowhere fast….
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….
Berries with Lavender + Vanilla Bean Whipped Cream
Happy almost Mother’s Day to all the mamas out there! If you’re still pondering a menu to whip up for your mother on her day, think about adding a sweet finish to the meal with this ethereal lavender + vanilla bean whipped cream. Or, start her day off on a sweet note and dollop it over some fluffy buttermilk pancakes and fresh berries. No one deserves some special treatment more than a mother….
Dark Chocolate Balsamic Roasted Pears
Feliz February, friends! With Valentine’s day right around the corner, I thought I would share a super simple dessert that is as healthy as it is nutritious (well, sans the ice cream..but really, who’s guna leave that out?). These dark chocolate balsamic roasted pears truly hit all corners of the palate. The rich, tangy dark chocolate balsamic vinegar* infuses the fruit with a sumptuous depth of flavor. When spooned over your favorite ice cream (I am a sucker for Lick’s Caramel Salt Lick flavor) and topped with salty pepitas, this dessert is some serious melt-in-your mouth perfection. You won’t even miss all the fat and calories. Enjoy!…
Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies
Merry Christmas to you and yours! I hope your holiday is full of love, laughter, great food and fellowship, and celebrating the reason for the season. Jesus Christ is born! Buen provecho, y’all!…
Pumpkin French Toast with Bacon Maple Syrup
The easy thing for me to do right now would be to talk about fall, cooler weather, leaves changing, and all things pumpkin- including this delicious french toast. I think I talked about all of those trite (yet wonderful) fall topics in my half-hearted blog post last week. I get it though. If anyone is guilty of breaking out the boots before the temperatures have even dipped into the 70s, it’s me. Autumn is my favorite season. However, I feel like there are much bigger things going on in the world than my pumpkin spice latte or who won the football game yesterday. In my heart of hearts, when I write about those things, I feel a searing jab in my soul. It’s like when the nun in Madeleine starts singing “something is not right.” Kind of? (Oh man, my points of reference are becoming a dead giveaway for my profession!)…
