Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal Bar
I love cinnamon toast crunch and saw this on Instagram and thought I’d use what I had left to make these cereal bars. This definitely is an easy recipe as you basically just heat the butter and marshmallows over heat, add vanilla, then pour that over the cereal. I kind of eyed the marshmallows and […]

Chocolate Cream Pie
Happy Pi Day! I love chocolate meringue pie and had been wanting one for a while. My husband has used a good recipe in the past from America’s Test Kitchen so I looked through our cookbooks and found this one. He swore it was the same one he used to make chocolate meringue pie last […]

Soft Batch Chocolate M&M Cookies
Today’s recipe is another Instagram find that I saved for later since these looked so delicious. I rarely use M&M’s to bake with, mainly because I forget about them; but it’s so fun to have such colorful looking cookies. The recipe itself is really straightforward and honestly would have been ranked at a 10 for […]

These eastern European treats remind me of funnel cake, which I love. You do need to buy specific tools to make these, but they’re […]

Palmiers are a classic french puff pastry cookie and while I had seen them in photos before, I actually didn’t know what they were called. A friend and I thought it would be fun to make and while we cheated a little and used store bought puff pastry it made this recipe super easy to […]

Pumpkin Pie
Happy Thanksgiving! I’m posting early today in case you need a quick and yummy dessert to eat with your thanksgiving meal. If you have a can of pumpkin puree, a can of sweetened condensed milk, some eggs, and spices then you’re set. Well, and a pie crust… that’s pretty important too (we generally get the […]

Creme Brûlée
Creme Brûlée is one of those desserts that feels quite fancy yet it’s so simple. Personally, I’ve also been a little intimidated by this dessert; you’ve got to do a water bath and torch the top. It just seemed like there’s a lot that could go wrong. Nonetheless, I wanted a simple but elegant naturally […]
