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…

Pumpkin Espresso Bundt Cake

While bundt cakes can be a little intimidating because there’s a risk the cake might stick to the sides, I love making bundt cakes. They’re generally pretty easy but it’s still cake and therefore delicious. While this recipe has a few extra steps it’s still easy and you start by mixing the pumpkin, eggs, oil,…

I’ve been a little nervous about this recipe because it’s quite time consuming and there are lots of areas you could mess something up.

Apparently they’re apparently lighter, airier, and more bread-like than an actual bagel. You’ll start off by heating your milk and water to 90-95F.…

Iced Coffee Icebox Cake

I’ve only had a few complete fails over the years and this was definitely one of them. This looked like a fun recipe and besides taking a full 24 hours to set up, it also looked pretty easy. You start off by making the cookies and that’s pretty simple. Mix together all of your dry…

Homemade Buttery Flaky Pie Crust

So, the recipe I’m talking about today is the actual pie crust, but as you can see from the picture I’m showing you the finished product. I will go ahead and say that the Chicken Pot Pie recipe from Sally’s Baking Addiction is now my go-to recipe. It is so delicious! I ran across the…
