Chocolate Chip Cherry Shortbread Cookies

Chocolate Chip Cherry Shortbread Cookies are melt-in-your mouth tender, absolutely delicious, and super easy to make! Don’t you just love a good cookie? I do. They’re inevitably the downfall of my post-holiday promise: every year I swear that I’m not touching my KitchenAid until spring. And every year I fail, […]

Cheater’s Chocolate Cake (From a Box Mix!)

Cheater’s Chocolate Cake is chocolatey, moist, and tastes liked it’s baked from scratch. This is your go-to cake in a dessert emergency! I always bake cakes from scratch. Except when I don’t. This is that cake. I really love to bake, so taking a couple of hours to make a […]

Peach Tarte Tatin

Easy Individual Peach Tarte Tatins

Summer is admittedly not my favorite season. I know legions disagree with me on this, and that’s okay. Individual Peach Tarte Tatins, warm with vanilla ice cream, make the long, hot summers totally worth it. See, the thing is, I have curly hair. Like seriously curly, big, unruly, frizzy-if-you-breathe-on-it kind […]

Funnel Cake

Simple and Delicious Funnel Cake

Some days are better than others, folks. Some days are Funnel Cake Day!!! I have a deep and abiding love of funnel cake. As a kid, I counted the days until the annual fire department carnival, mostly because it was the nearest source of funnel cake. It’s my one must-hit, […]

The Best Fried Apple Hand Pies

The Best Fried Apple Hand Pies

Apple pie is All-American comfort food at it’s best. Fried apple hand pies are all of that, in a portable, deep-fried package. For me, these little hand pies are a classic summer fair food and connected to all of the good, carefree memories I have of eating them, still warm, […]
