My favorite dessert of all time is tiramisu! I’ve always loved the flavor combinations (who can resist chocolate and coffee?) since I was a kid, and making it at home is ridiculously simple. This tiramisu will absolutely impress your friends and family while you also maintain your sanity in the kitchen (we love a good …
Thanksgiving is just around the corner and the smell of pumpkin pie is in the air! I was never been a huge fan of pumpkin pie (or really any pumpkin desserts), especially the store bought versions – but this homemade pie is absolutely delicious! A perfect, buttery pie crust (I use my Zulay Kitchen French …
Have you ever had buckeyes? I only recently got introduced, and they are such a delicious and easy dessert to make! Named for their resemblance to the Ohio buckeye tree nut (which is apparently the state tree of Ohio – who knew), buckeyes are a delicious candy consisting of peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate. …
Chocolate bark is one of the easiest desserts I’ve ever made! We’re definitely getting into bark season (peppermint bark, anyone?) but I wanted to make a fall-themed one before we transition the fall flavors out. It’s such a simple dessert to make using your preferred kind of chocolate, nuts, seeds and dried fruit. I used …
One of my favorite cookies is the snickerdoodle! They’re the perfect amount of sweet, and this particular recipe creates the softest, fluffiest, most delicious cookies with the slightest hint of cinnamon.

It’s spooky season! And you know what that means – pumpkin everything. Pumpkin is such an easy ingredient to incorporate into baking recipes, and I’m guilty for loving how many amazing pumpkin drinks and desserts come out during this time of year (not ashamed to admit that the PSL is absolutely delicious). What better way …
I like big babkas and I cannot lie! These layers on layers have me drooling and my kitchen smells amazing after baking up some chocolate babka! I feel like this was a common quarantine recipe, and a lot of people were using ingredients like chocolate, raspberry, and walnut for their babka. This is actually the …
Mango is the superior tropical fruit, and I never miss an opportunity to get mango sticky rice as the perfect dessert to a Thai meal! I was a little skeptical when I first tried it (eating rice in a dessert was definitely new for me) but now I’m hooked! It’s also easy to make at …
Sponsored: With summer winding down, I couldn’t resist baking a homemade blueberry pie using my favorite summer berries! The hardest part about pie is making the piecrust, but Zulay Kitchen makes it simple with their stainless steel French rolling pin. It’s perfect for smoothing out dough, and you can stick it in the freezer to …
