Cheesecake has always been one of my favorite desserts. I love pumpkin cheesecake, chocolate cheesecake, and caramel cheesecake, but my favorite cheesecake has to be the apple crisp cheesecake. It’s a perfect combination of flavors and textures.
You haven’t truly lived until you’ve made strawberry icing. It’s vibrant, beautiful, sweet and fruity. What better way to celebrate spring than these cute flower decorated strawberry cupcakes!
For years, my husband and I were continually on the hunt for the most delicious veggie burger. We tried the local pubs, burger shops, and every store bought package brand we could find.
I love a good chocolate chip cookie. They are probably my favorite kind of cookie. I am not too fussy when it comes to them. I pretty much like them all. Flat and chewy. Crispy and chewy. Puffy and soft. Sweet and salty. Melty and gooey.
This chili recipe is my favorite. It’s the one I make time and time again. Sometimes, if I have it, I’ll add some frozen corn at the end, but besides that, it always stays the same.
I’ve been experimenting with new ways to use Brussel sprouts and have stumbled upon this very season appropriate salad with apples, cranberries, peppers, goat cheese, and pecans. It’s the perfect use of Brussel sprouts for a Thanksgiving side. I’m usually not big on salad for Thanksgiving, but this one is just so perfect. It’s festive and has all the the Flavors we know to associate with the holiday.
This soup is a mix of some of my favorite ingredients - pasta, cheese, and tomatoes. It’s hearty and rich, but still feels healthy. Pair it with a nice loaf of fresh bread, and now we’re talking about the prefect meal.
The cake was an absolute hit. The kids loved it, and even more, Sebastian loved it. I asked him what his favorite part of his party was, and he said enthusiastically - the cake!
Meet Emmett Francis Hands born June 8, 2018, measuring 8 pounds 11 ounces and 21 inches. We're having fun getting to know Emmett. He is changing every day and proving to be the happiest baby I've ever seen. He's constantly smiling at everything and it makes my heart burst. He is now a little over two months, and I have no idea where the time has gone. I am trying so hard to savor every moment.
When peaches are in season, I try to use them in cooking wherever I can. They are so incredibly juicy and sweet during the summer months, I just can't help from buying a few pounds every week. I think the key to pulling off a salad with lots of fruit is by also adding some sort of cheese, a bold green, and an acidic dressing.
We had tossed up the idea of either hiring contractors to remodel the kitchen versus doing it ourselves. At first, I was like - where do you want me to sign? - but then after careful consideration and a look at our budget, we decided to tackle the project ourselves.
I am all for quick simple meals at the moment. It's a tricky time of year for one-pot meals though. No one wants to make a batch of chili or pot of soup when the weather is beginning to warm and we are all craving salads and fresh produce. I like this pasta salad recipe because it's filling with a relative hardiness, but also fulfills my needs for fresh veggies!
I like to make this salad the night before, allowing the garlic flavors to absorb into the beans. The dried cranberries add a nice sweet chewiness, which the celery and red pepper add a crunch. The dressing is a simple mixture of oil, balsamic, maple syrup, garlic, salt, and pepper.
I love the low stress associated with making a sheet cake. No need to worry if your layers will match up. No cutting, no fussing. I really despise icing a cake so you can see why I am so excited about this cake.
This dish is the epitome of Spring. You must try this light and creamy risotto with fresh peas and asparagus, topped with a tangy lemon juice and a generous amount of grated Parmesan cheese. You won't regret it!
I am excited to share this highly versatile and incredibly easy-to-make biscuit recipe with you. You absolutely must try these biscuits for breakfast with delicious blueberry jam, or with an egg and some cheese, depending on whether you prefer sweet or savory. Trust me, you won't regret it!
This recipe is extremely easy to make. You just need pasta, oil, garlic, tomatoes, cheese, and seasoning. The taste is somewhat reminiscent of mac and cheese, but with a more elevated and sophisticated flavor profile. The recipe can be whipped up in less than 20 minutes, making it one of my favorite go-to meals.
To celebrate this occasion, I made my absolute favorite chocolate cake. I have made it so many times, I practically don't need a recipe anymore. It is so easy and delicious and comes out perfectly most each time.
