Life is as sweet as we bake it!
When fall hits, I am all about pumpkin! Pumpkin scones, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin bread, pumpkin soup! Just kidding about the last one... maybe. I love how hearty and warm pumpkin is, especially with all those wonderful spices like nutmeg, clove, and ginger that really just make pumpkin sing! But there's really only like two, maybe… Continue reading Chewy Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies
Ah, soup, the unofficial official mascot of fall weather. Nothing screams cozy, cuddly weather than a bowl of steaming soup. Be prepared for the soup recipes to come in full force. Soup has to be one of my favorite things to make! I love watching soup come together! As you make it, it seems a… Continue reading Homemade Zuppa Toscana
Lately, we've had some real cloudy days, some are rainy, some are stormy, but mainly just a bunch of cloudy skies and weather that totally puts me in the mood for fall! One meal that I absolutely crave during a cloudy day is a hot, steaming bowl of soup! And we all know that nothing… Continue reading Quick Rosemary Bread
Happy fall, y'all! Yes, I know the weather outside is 95 degrees and sunny... But one-day last week, it was only 72 degrees and a little bit cloudy, so you tell me if it's fall or not... But regardless of whatever the weather is outside, I can still bring those wonderful flavors of fall into… Continue reading Cake Mix Pumpkin Spice Biscotti
Italian Jam Shortbread Tart is definitely a mouth-full of a name, but I can assure that this dessert is fully deserving of a title as long and delicious as this one! Another name for this tart is a Crostata and there are two different ways to make this Crostata. When I was doing some research… Continue reading Italian Jam Shortbread Tart

Marinades are magically liquids that infuse a TON of flavor into whatever you're trying to cook. The flavors are able to soak throughout the meat so no bite is left unflavored! Typically, one… Continue reading The BEST Steak Marinade
I have to admit, as much as I love making a big dinner with a fancy dessert, I never feel more sophisticated than when I have a mixed drink in my hand! I don't know if it's from watching movies when I was a kid, watching all of the adults order these crazy drinks in… Continue reading Best Ever Margaritas
If I'm being totally honest here, which I always try to be, coffee is not my favorite. Sure, I don't mind a coffee drink that's 75% sugar and cream, but anything less than that, and it's just not for me. With that being said, I understand the importance of coffee. Coffee in chocolate cakes takes… Continue reading Espresso Shortbread Cookies
Reasons I love meatloaf. One, it's super comforting. Two, you can throw anything in it, and it's still going to taste good. Seriously, anything. Three, it comes together super fast. Four, it's like a hug on a sheet pan. Like a hug from your grandma on a sheet pan. I mean, do you need any… Continue reading Not Your Mother’s Meatloaf
It's officially August! Which in my mind translates to the official start of fall! If only the weather thought the same way I do... Since it's still hot as can be outside, I decided I should put back the pumpkin puree and switch to something a little bit more chilly! My Mint Chocolate Chip Ice… Continue reading Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
