Peaches, with their luscious and juicy texture, are a delightful fruit that embodies the essence of summer. Combining the rich flavors of peaches with a buttery and flaky crust, a peach crostata is a classic Italian dessert that your whole family will love. In this blog post, I’ll explore the art of making a mouthwatering…
I love strawberry season. Well, I love berry season in general. When they are the height of freshness, their flavor is just so amazing. I’ve made lots of different types of strawberry cakes and desserts over the years, but never a strawberry angel food cake. I decided it was time to give it a try….
Today is National Zucchini Bread day! I’ve always loved veggie bread. Pumpkin bread (check out my pumpkin recipes) and zucchini bread are two of my favorite things to bake and enjoy because they are so simple to make and always taste delicious. My mom didn’t bake a ton when I was a kid, but she…
I was talking with a friend about the holidays and he mentioned the best dessert he’d ever eaten was a homemade chocolate rum cake. Sure, the baker was actually a professional chef. But, I’ve never even heard of, let alone, had a chocolate rum cake, so I had to try. There are so many different…
I love cookie bars. Literally, anything that resembles a cookie in bar form (brownies included), I’m here for it. I received a bunch of random ingredients in one of my press boxes, so I had this giant bag of toffee. I didn’t know what to do with it, so I decided to start searching for…
It’s strawberry season! I love fresh strawberries this time of year. They are so sweet and gorgeous. I’ve made a few strawberry recipes over the years, so this year I wanted to try something new. I had never heard of spoon cake or spoon bread before so I decided to try a strawberry spoon bread…
It’s the end of January – which is also oatmeal month, so I had to share the best oatmeal chocolate chip cookies recipe. I used this oatmeal cookie recipe as the base for a lot of other recipes, including these oatmeal scotchies. If you don’t like chocolate, you can replace the chocolate chips with nuts,…
I’ve made a lot of apple recipes over the years. You can check out my apple recipes here. But I haven’t tried baking with pears. It is pear season, so I thought I’d try to find a really easy recipe that still looks elevated. That’s why this simple pear cake recipe is perfect. It is…
A couple weeks ago, I made this apple slab pie recipe and I ended up having way too many apples to fit into the pie. What do you do with a bunch of diced apples that already have sugar and cinnamon on them? You make an easy apple crumble recipe, of course! If you’re looking…
This Butterfinger Blondies recipe is sponsored by Ferrero. All opinions are my own. Have you ever tried baking with Butterfinger® candy bars? I’ve always wondered how it would be to bake with them, so I decided to try making Butterfinger blondies. To my delight, these turned out even better than I expected, so I wanted…
It’s strawberry season and my family is so happy. Strawberries are my son’s favorite fruit, so I always stock up on them when it’s the prime season. This year, I went a little overboard and had way too many. That’s why I decided to try baking with fresh strawberries this time around. I’ve baked with…
Do you have any recipes that remind you of your childhood? This Special K Bars recipe definitely does. This was one of my very favorite treats my mom would make when I was a kid. There’s something about the peanut butter and chocolate combination that I (still) can’t get enough of. It is by far…
This post is sponsored by Saborea Uno Hoy®. All opinions are my own. I’m back with another pumpkin spice recipe! I just can’t help myself. It is my favorite time (and flavor) of the year. I’m extra excited about this avocado pumpkin spice cake recipe because – duh – it has fresh avocados! Why would I…
Did you know you can make ice cream at home without an ice cream maker? Well you absolutely can! Today I’m going to share with you how I made this dulce de leche ice cream at home without an ice cream maker. It is SO easy AND SO good. I opted to make dulce de…
Have you ever eaten a chocolate semifreddo, or any semifreddo for that matter? I haven’t, up until I made one. It is shocking that I lived so much of my life without ever trying one. My family heritage is Italian. I’ve spent a lot of time on my blog talking about that, connecting with my…
