Berry Puff Pastry Galette – Your Summer Dessert
Berry season is here & I am so excited!! Let’s make anything and everything with berries and let’s start with this galette. Berry Season!! I am all about berry season. I love pretty much all berries… blueberries, blackberries, raspberries & strawberries, heck even gooseberries. My go to berries are strawberries, blueberries and blackberries. I make jam (check website soon), muffins, bread, cookies, bars.. etc. They are so versatile, so yummy and just sweet enough. Puff Pastry + Berry Goodness = So Good! So most galettes I have had, are made with a more traditional pie crust, but for this one I used puff pastry. Yep, puff pastry. I mean…

Key Lime Cookies- The Perfect Spring Treat
Key Lime anything is a must have in the warmer months… and according to the calendar it should start warming up soon. That means it is time to celebrate that cute little green fruit! Key Lime Cookies for the Win! Pie is what most people, including myself, think of when they hear “key lime” but that is changing. Don’t get me wrong I love a good pie, but they are also more involved to make. These cookies literally come together in about 15 minutes and are ready to indulge in within a hour. No chilling, no wait time to set up… mix, bake, ice and eat. DONE! Yes… you can…

Valentines is just days away and these delicious White & Dark Loaded Chocolate Chip Cookies is a perfect Valentines treat… you could even call them Cupid’s Kiss Cookies if you want. Load it Up with White & Dark Chocolate (& so much more) I love cookies that have texture and lots of flavor. These cookies have all that and so much more!! To make these cookies stand out a bit I used dark chocolate chunks, white chocolate chunks, M&M candies (Valentines variety), Sprinkles and a little extra sea salt.

Salted Brownie Cookies
Salted Brownie Cookies are everything you need in a cookie that you didn’t even know you needed. Brownies + Cookies = Everything Salted Brownie Cookies are everything you love about brownies but packaged in a cute little cookie. They are rich, fudgy, chocolate yumminess with the perfect hint of salt and crackle crust. What is your favorite part of brownies? For me it is the shiny, crackle top. There is just something so decadent about it, especially in this cookie. It is holds together all the chocolate goodness making each bite just PERFECT! Sprinkle of Salt The shiny shell is not the only thing that makes these cookies something to…

Classic Iced Sugar Cookies
These Classic Iced Sugar Cookies are a MUST MAKE this Holiday Season. They are super tender, topped with a delicious icing with hints of vanilla bean in each bite and fun sprinkles. A perfect Holiday treat. No rolling here One of the things that annoys me about sugar cookies is having to roll them out. Rolling pins and I don’t have the best relationship. I tend to roll things too thin, or not thin enough…it just never seems to be right. With these cookies though there is no rolling…that is one of the reasons why I love these cookies. I also love how tender they are. Not so fragile they…

Santa’s Chocolate Chip Cookies
Cookies are a must make for all the time, but especially during the Holiday Season. These Santa’s Chocolate Chip Cookies are always at the top of my list. A little bit for Everyone For me a good chocolate chip cookie is a little crispy on the edges, soft in the center and loaded with tons of chocolatey goodness. My families favorite chocolate chip cookies are these, but let me tell you after they have these cookies they might just change their minds. Not only are these cookies crispy and soft but they are also loaded with tons of yummy. First I used semi-sweet chocolate chunks and then I threw…

Cranberry Shortbread Bars – A Holiday Treat
Cranberry Shortbread Bars are the perfect Holiday treat!! They are a little sweet, a little tart and surrounded in a buttery shortbread… it doesn’t get much better! Cranberry Goodness in each Bite I have always been a BIG, BIG fan of cranberries. I love them dried and use them in lots of recipes, such as this Pumpkin Cranberry Pistachio Bread, but I also love fresh ones. There is just something about the tartness in each cranberry but then also the burst of sweet flavor you get at the same time. I use fresh cranberries each Thanksgiving for my Spiced Cranberry Sauce but I also love, love them in pastry.…

Salted Caramel Brownies… YES PLEASE
Salted Caramel Brownies make me happy… like giddy happy. I have tried several recipes and all are good (like these) but this is the BEST in my opinion. Caramel Yumminess… Salted Caramel is a must in my life. I love it on ice cream, poured over cheesecake, dip fruit in it and of course drizzle into super fudgy and delicious brownie batter. There is just something about chocolate and caramel together. I usually make my own salted caramel sauce but for these brownies I used this Salted Caramel Sauce. I love it because it is thick and super creamy, and holds up well as it is baked. You can…

I am a BIG fan of pumpkin (as I am sure you know), pistachios and cranberries… but I am an even bigger fan of pumpkin bread and this pumpkin bread is AMAZING!! It is loaded with tons of yum and each bite is like a party in your mouth. PISTACHIOS & CRANBERRIES GALORE! I am all about a traditional pumpkin bread but this loaded pumpkin bread is just so, so good. I have always loved cranberries with pumpkin but for some extra fun I wanted to add in some pistachios. Pistachios are a favorite for me with cranberries, as in these cookies. The cookies are SO GOOD I knew…
