Imagine a super fluffy and light bundt cake, with a lemony flavor and bursts of fresh blueberries throughout, covered in a homemade fresh blueberry purple glaze…that is this bundt cake! It’s the best lemon blueberry bundt cake that I’ve ever had – and it went fast around here! Hopefully you will love it as much as I do! It’s finally starting to feel like spring, and with that, I always want to make light and fruity desserts. Still riding the wave of citrus season (thank you cute little backyard lemon tree!), but starting to notice more and more berries in…

Continue ReadingA take on the classic Cosmic Brownies, but this time made in a large skillet! A chewy, fudgy brownie covered in a shiny chocolate ganache, and topped with rainbow covered chocolate chips. This skillet brownie is out of this world! Ready for some nostalgia? I remember getting so excited when my mom would get me Little Debbie’s cosmic brownies. Having one as a dessert after dinner, or even better, bringing one to school? That was a treat! But guess what? Now that we’re adults, we can have these brownies whenever we want! So I got to work playing with my…

Continue ReadingThis is the cutest, most colorful little loaf cake! It is made with limes, Lucky Charms cereal, and a little bit of Irish whisky (which you can totally leave out if you’re making this for kiddos). The cake is fluffy, and super yummy to have with tea, milk, or a cup of coffee. The glaze has a refreshing lime flavor that just adds some awesome tanginess to every bite! When I set out to make this cake, I realized I don’t bake many green desserts! At first I thought I would make the whole cake green, but something about that…

The best part? It’s all made in one bowl, and in about 30 minutes you can have 8 jumbo super yummy banana nut muffins! So let’s talk about bananas. Banana bread seriously got a glow up last year. 2020 was unofficially the year of the banana bread. But this year, maybe it’s the year of the banana nut muffin? No? I dunno, I’ve been more into muffins…

Continue ReadingA refreshing yet richly flavored blueberry curd, made with fresh blueberries and orange juice, fills this sweet shortcrust pastry. Topped with meringue that is torched to perfection, and some fresh fruit – you’ll want to make sure you have extra tarts, because everyone will be asking for more! Also, the beautiful natural dark purple color of these tarts makes them a show stopper! It’s funny, because as a food blogger, we always test our recipes ahead of time. So that means that even though, for example. Valentine’s day is February 14th – I was making and testing all the pink…

Continue ReadingThese are thick, bakery style, chewy cookies! Made with chocolate chunks that melt into pools of dark chocolate, and pink and red M&Ms – your Valentine will definitely be thankful if you make them these cookies! Okay, so like most people, I love a thin, crispy chocolate chip cookie, a little underdone, so there’s a bit of chewy goodness. BUT, I wanted to take on the challenge of creating big fat cookies, so there would be room to put extra chocolate chunks and M&Ms! The great thing about these cookies is that they actually come out thick AND chewy, AAAAND…

The muffin itself is made with a mixture of Navel or Valencia Orange and Blood Orange, and the glaze is made with a fresh orange juice. It has a distinct orange flavor, with a little bit of fruity pebbles type flavor in there too! If you have extra citrus, the candied orange slices are a great dessert to make that you can snack on even when the muffins are gone! What…

These mini overnight oats, made in the little Oui Yogurt jars, make for a perfect Valentine’s snack, or light breakfast snack for the day! It’s also a great addition to a Galentine’s Day Brunch. I love having overnight oats in the fridge, because I always know that I have breakfast ready in the morning in a pinch. My basic recipe for overnight oats includes a base of old fashioned oats, chia seeds, and almond milk. Lately I’ve loved adding cinnamon to the…

Continue ReadingThe fluffiest, most flavorful Babka! This one has been a long time coming. For months I’ve been researching babkas, seeing what types people like, what makes good babkas, what the ideal filling is, and baking and re-baking recipes. Well, I can confidently say this. is. it! If you were a Seinfeld fan, you’d know they had a whole episode about babka. Elaine and Jerry wanted to bring a babka to a dinner party, but the party before them got the last chocolate babka. “If we can’t get the babka, the whole thing’s useless.” said Elaine. However, there was still cinnamon…

Continue ReadingIt’s citrus season! That means it’s time to bake all of the lemon-y treats! These teeny little bundt cakes are so full of lemon flavor, the vanilla lemon glaze adds an extra oomph of lemon, and the cakes themselves are made with rosemary infused milk, which adds just a hint of a warm rosemary aftertaste. A perfect and easy treat to make, that you should definitely have in your citrus season rotation! I have to admit, though it’s citrus season now, I really have access to beautiful lemons all year round. We’re quite lucky – because we have a little…
