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.…

Strawberry Charlotte Cake
I have been wanting to make one of these for a while but was a little intimidated. It looks super fancy, but despite the assembly it was actually fairly easy. I did make my own ladyfingers and I was a little nervous about this particular recipe since it was a one-bowl recipe that uses whole…

Eggnog Cream Puff Cake
I’m not sure where I ran across this recipe but it looked fun. If you’ve got some leftover eggnog at your house post-Christmas then you can use it up here! The crust is a pate a choux pastry and is pretty easy to make. You don’t want to cook it too long on the stovetop,…

Best Pecan Pie
Somehow this is the first time I’ve made pecan pie here on the blog. This recipe comes compliments a former colleague who said it was super good. With Thanksgiving so close I thought I’d give it a try and see how it held up against some of the pecan pies I’ve had before. One thing…
