Tarheel Pie
My husband discovered this recipe and it reminds me a little of a Kentucky Derby Pie. That’s one of my favorite pies and since this one is all chocolate I had a feeling I’d love it. This is a simple recipe and I used a pre-made pie crust so that made it a lot easier.…

Zucchini Cheese Pancakes
This is actually a recipe I was going to do for the last Baking Through the Alphabet series and I actually did make it then, but ended up posting another recipe. These however, have become a staple in the freezer as they’re super easy to make and taste really good. Start by beating the eggs…

Yogurt Cake
This is another bake I almost made the last time I did the Baking Through the Alphabet series and thankfully I had it saved. I had actually heard about this cake first in the Bringing Up Bebe book as it’s mentioned as something french mothers teach their kids to make early. I love that idea…

Xangos (Mexican Cheesecake Chimichangas)
X is always a hard one during these Baking Through the Alphabet series but I found this while researching recipes and it intriguied me. I could not find the Philadelphia ready-made cheesecake filling the recipe called for, so I ended up making my own. It was delicious and I could have (and did) eat it…

Traditionally, it’s made with pineapple rings, but I liked that this recipe used different fruits. Starting off, I melted the butter and brown sugar together in the cast iron skillet,…

The Best Chocolate Sheet Cake
I love cake and while a layer cake is my personal favorite a nice sheet cake is a close second. Start by melting together chocolate, butter, and oil in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. You always want to be careful when melting chocolate to ensure it doesn’t get too hot and seize.…

Raspberry Linzer Cookies
This wasn’t what I had originally planned on making for R, but for time reasons I had to scrap the other and this is what I did instead. I don’t actually think I’ve made Linzer cookies before, but they look striking so it’s been on my “to bake” list for a while. This recipe is…

Quick Pots de Crème
I actually had something else listed for Q, but somehow I ran across this recipe and the ease and simplistic beauty of it made me decide to change things up. This recipe is exactly as it says “quick” and honestly it’s easy as well. First you’ll put the chocolate chips, salt, sugar, and espresso powder…
