Y’all can keep your pumpkin spice. As the time change rolls in, I’m feeling this Gingerbread Loaf Cake filled with chunks of fresh pear. I’m not a lover of winter – or anything even close to winter – so I may rely solely on this dense and decadent beauty to get me through to spring….

White Chocolate Orange Cranberry Bread
Holiday Baking Week 2017 is in full swing over here at our place, and once again I found myself with two bags of fresh cranberries in my fridge. Why do I always do that? I buy them with big plans, usually for a fresh, boozy cranberry sauce with lots of fresh orange zest, and then…
Easy Gingerbread House Cakes (Mini Sized!)
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of The J.M. Smucker Company. The opinions and text are all mine. I’m partnering with Folgers® at Walmart through the Share A Cup & A Story campaign, to celebrate new and old holiday traditions. I often get asked when my love of baking and decorating started, and I always…
Maple Cinnamon Drop Biscuit Chicken Sliders
This drop biscuit recipe was written by me on behalf of Tyson Foods, Inc. All opinions are entirely my own. Hey, it’s Tyson® crispy chicken strips! Wait, what? Chicken from the freezer aisle at Target? Yup, I buy it. Life is busy, friends. Like, 15-minutes-between-getting-home-and-leaving-for-soccer busy. And have you ever really thought about how chicken…
Mini Peanut Butter Zucchini Muffins
About 2 weeks ago, my mom gave me a large zucchini that she couldn’t use. Since it was the only one I had at the moment (rather than the zucchini overload we usually experience when we don’t neglect our garden) I was determined to use it. Since back-to-school breakfast will be a thing all too…
Pastrami Pretzel Pockets
I am a participant in Mom Blog Tour at the Summer Fancy Food Show on behalf of Wendy’s Bloggers and received Colman’s Mustard products to facilitate my review and Pastrami Pretzel Pockets. Ooooh, friends. Hold on to your hats. I’m nearing the end of my #MomBlogTourFF recipe series, but this one was worth the wait. One of the…
Ricotta and Olive Oil Cake
I participated in Mom Blog Tour at the Summer Fancy Food Show on behalf of Wendy’s Bloggers and received Capatriti EVOO products to facilitate my review. If you really want to get my attention, just start waving around a bottle of really good extra virgin olive oil. I’m only part-Italian, but I think it’s a pretty strong…
Dye-free Spring Petits Fours (with icing recipe) @Microgreens
This post about dye-free sprinkles was brought to you by Fresh Origins, who supplied a product sample to facilitate my review. I was not compensated for this post, and all opinions are my own and honest. Easter is almost here, which means that jellybeans, marshmallows and a rainbow of other candies are also making their…
How to Make a Dye-Free Pink Ombre Cake
I’m a little behind. My baby girl’s first birthday was over a month ago, and I still haven’t written a thing about it here! I’m blaming the snow that threw off our party schedule for 3 weeks. I did post some photos, though, and I got more than a few questions about her pink ombre cake,…
Chocolate Peanut Butter Biscotti
Some things just go together, like coffee and cream. Chocolate and peanut butter. My belly and these biscotti. Chocolate peanut butter biscotti with salty crunched up peanuts on top, to be exact.
