Life is as sweet as we bake it!
I always have this internal struggle every January. Do I start eating healthy? Or do I keep eating cozy, comfort foods because it's still really cold out? Spoiler alert: it's usually the second one. This year, I worked really hard to find a happy medium between the two! So I landed on this yummy Lemon… Continue reading Lemon Chickpea Orzo soup
Ricotta cookie? What's a ricotta cookie? I had never heard of one until someone asked me to make them! Let me just say, ricotta cookies are must in my household now! They are fluffy, soft, light, wonderful cookies! Honestly, I can't think of enough delicious adjectives to describe them! I didn't really know what to… Continue reading Orange Ricotta cookies
One place that I love to get inspiration from is old family recipes! My sister has a folder where she keeps all the best family recipes and I love being able to flip through the pages and find one I like!

'Tis the season for Christmas movies!! Romantic, heart-warming, cozy, cheesy, I love them all! There are a few that I watch on repeat throughout the season, but I love to try and branch out to new ones! It's funny because I'm not really a big rom-com fan. I watch them occasionally throughout the year but… Continue reading White Chocolate Popcorn Crack
I can't think of a better way to wind down Christmas than with a cozy drink and a cuddly blanket. A cup of tea or hot chocolate would definitely do the trick, but tonight, on Christmas, I'm thinking something a little bit more special. That's right! I'm talking about mulled wine. Mulled wine is essentially… Continue reading Mulled Wine
Even though it's no longer pie season, I am still craving the delicious nutty flavors of pecan pie!! But December is cookie season and I'm all about the soft chewy texture of a cookie! This is exactly how these Pecan Pie Cookies were invented! I actually remember my grandma making something very similar to this… Continue reading Pecan Pie cookies
I think my theme of cookies for 2020 is a no-bake cookie. I mean, 2020 has been a tough year, we don't need to add bad cookie dough to the mix right?! (Not that bad cookie dough even exists, but you get the point!) I love something simple to throw together and you have a… Continue reading Easy Butter Cracker Cookies
