Walnut Baklava
I’ve never made baklava before and have heard it can be complicated so I was a little nervous about trying this recipe. While phyllo dough can be difficult to work with, this actually wasn’t as difficult as I thought! Let me start off by saying that I did not make my own phyllo dough; I’m…

Ultimate Banana Bread
I know what you’re thinking…. “didn’t you make banana bread earlier this year?” Yes, yes I did. But as I’ve mentioned before; there’s always a ton of bananas in the freezer because I buy them and then let them get overripe. Generally my go to for using these bananas is bread or muffins so that’s…

They’re super rich and delicious! I’ve actually made them once before, but I couldn’t remember the recipe I used so I found this…

Lemon Shortbread Squares
Every once in a while I get into a big lemon kick and get in the mood to have something like lemon squares. I made those a few years ago so I decided to try a new recipe this time. Similar to the other recipe I used the crust is very simple to make and…
