Toffee Pecan Blondies
Well, it’s official–as of earlier this week, I’ve finally thrown off the sugar-free shackles of Whole30 and returned to the world of baking freedom! Now, I have to confess, I’m technically a Whole30 failure, having quit a day early so that I could properly and thoroughly enjoy my meal at Bazaar Mar while I was…
Rum Spiced Date Loaf
Okay, so I know it isn’t fall anymore, but isn’t autumn really just a state of mind? And couldn’t we all use a little more spiced rum action in our lives? I certainly think so. This tasty loaf gets a nice punch from soaking the dates in rum for a good 30-60 minutes before baking, and the fall spices will make your kitchen smell amazing.

Enjoy!

Two Riffs on Peppermint Bark
With Christmas fast approaching, peppermint bark season is in full swing throughout grocery stores, chocolateries, and home kitchens the world over. And oh what a glorious season it is! If ever there was a match made in flavor heaven, peppermint and chocolate are certainly it. Generally speaking, I’m not a huge chocolate person. Now, don’t…
Amaretti Cookies
Have I mentioned how much I love almond-flavored things? I have? Well, it bears repeating. I love almond-flavored things. And these tiny Italian treats are my latest almond obsession.
Cranberry Pie Bars
I know, I know – I’ve been negligent in my baking duties the last couple weeks. Sometimes this whole “responsible adult” thing really gets in the way of my baking ambitions… But never fear!
