I’m a very firm believer that ice cream is a year round treat. Since I have yet to share a homemade ice cream with you guys I thought today, on probably the last 75+ degree day in the Northeast this year, was the perfect time. Since I’m still following my 20 day reset, I wanted … More Vegan Cherry Garcia
One of my favorite bloggers, Joy, recently posted that she was going to take part in a body ‘reset’. Basically, followers spend 20 days with no dairy, no gluten and no sugar. I’ve been a little excessive lately, since I’ve been traveling a lot to NYC for work (and there’s literally no bad food in NYC), … More Almond Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Dates
I found out recently that my very favorite restaurant in Salem is closing. They are known for their great wine list, superb homemade pasta, and some of the best seafood I’ve ever had. But none of these things are the reason the restaurant is my favorite. Their sticky toffee pudding is unforgettable and literally life-changing. … More Sticky Toffee Pudding
Welp. It was only a matter of time before work completely took over my life and the kitchen became only a room I passed through to enter and exit my house. I finally was able to take a breather this past weekend, and despite the fact that it was about 80 degrees inside, I cranked the … More Sweet and Salty Double Chip Cookies
When I came across this recipe a few years ago, the first thing I noticed was the name. I instantly knew that this had to make its way into my kitchen. It’s easy to put together and requires mostly pantry ingredients, and I was super impressed with the results. It is reminiscent of a light … More Blueberry Boy Bait
I know by now you guys are aware of my popcorn obsession. I thought I’d seen (and eaten) it all, until I came across this take on one of my favorite childhood snacks. Typically, this is made with Chex cereal, but this simply replaces the cereal with popcorn. I must say, this may be better … More Popcorn Muddy Buddies
Every time before making a sweet to share with you guys, I ask Andrew if he has any requests. I would say about 94% of the time, he asks for these bars. They combine the delicious gooeyness of salted caramel with two thick and rich chocolate chip cookie layers that basically taste like cookie dough. If you’re ever … More Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
Last week, Boston decided that it is would be summer, and that is something I can get on board with! With temperatures in the 80s, I wanted to make a dessert that would be tart and refreshing. Key lime pie is one of my very favorite desserts that I’ve never attempted in my own kitchen. I … More Lime Pie
Caramel is one of the things that used to scare me the most in the kitchen (besides deep frying, yikes!). I have this terrifying vision of a scalding pot bubbling over, getting seriously burned, and the kitchen ending up in a sticky, caramely mess. Luckily, this recipe is extremely approachable, as Joy‘s recipes usually are, … More Salty Caramel Corn with Pretzels
When it comes to making biscuits, there are a million tips and tricks out there promising to give you the flakiest and lightest results. After making many, many biscuits, following a variety of these tips, I’ve found the three essentials things that make the perfect biscuit: 1. Cold butter – this is crucial to getting … More Buttermilk Biscuits
I recently had a debate with my co-workers about the best candy bar. Obviously this is a subjective topic, but the instant I heard 3 Muskateers I couldn’t handle my outrage. There is absolutely nothing about a 3 Muskateers that makes it THE BEST CANDY BAR! Sure, if someone gave me one I’d eat it, but … More Peanut Butter Pretzel Sandwiches
After making what has now become my go-to cornbread recipe, I found myself with an excessive amount of buttermilk in the fridge. I also received a bundt pan awhile back (Thanks, Gen!) which I’d been meaning to use, but somehow hadn’t. I knew that a buttermilk bundt cake was in the cards. And though it’s … More Raspberry Buttermilk Bundt Cake
There are few things in life I like more than shortbread bar cookies. I especially love the ones with (preferably homemade) strawberry or raspberry jam and a slight dusting of powdered sugar. As soon as the seasons decide to ACTUALLY change here in Boston, and we’re blessed with some fresh fruit, I will be perfecting … More S’mores Bars
With Easter coming up, I wanted to share a couple recipes this week that would be perfect for an Easter brunch! I pretty much love lemon poppyseed anything, and these are no exception. The muffins are fairly dense, reminiscent of a pound cake, and the tart lemon glaze on top finishes them off just right. … More Lemon Poppyseed Muffins
It all started so innocently. I was on the hunt for the perfectly chewy/crunchy/soft peanut butter cookie. The result of all this ‘research’ was WAY too many cookies at my disposal. So, it really was only a matter of time before ice cream made it’s way into the picture. Now, most people will think that this recipe … More Peanut Butter Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches
