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…

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…

Old-School Tiramisu
Last year I discovered an amazing Tiramisu cupcake recipe and while they are amazing, it’s been a while since I made an actual tiramisu so I decided to give it a go. I ended up going with the recipe for Bon Appetit because I liked the fact that you could make this in a loaf…
