Strawberry Peach Browned Butter Oatmeal Skillet Cookie

Have you ever had the Pizookie from BJ’s Restaurant? If you haven’t, it’s a large chocolate chip cookie baked in a cast iron skillet. It’s amazing and one of my favorite desserts. I discovered it in college and every time we go to BJ’s, I just have to get one. I know it’s only a… Continue reading Strawberry Peach Browned Butter Oatmeal Skillet Cookie

Browned Butter Chocolate Cherry Blondies

As you know I’ve been on a bit of a cherry kick lately. That’s because cherry season is only a few short weeks and I just love those little red orbs. They’re so sweet and tart and absolutely delicious. It’s because of the quick season that I’m bringing you yet another cherry recipe, but this… Continue reading Browned Butter Chocolate Cherry Blondies

Cherry Peach Croissant Bread Pudding

I’ve never been a fan of bread pudding. It’s not a real sweet dessert and it’s usually super heavy. In the past when I’ve tried it, I get one, maybe two bites in and then I’m full. I keep trying it, though because I know it’s popular, and I guess I keep hoping that maybe… Continue reading Cherry Peach Croissant Bread Pudding

Cherry Lime Macaroons

Passover is on Monday and if there’s one thing I always have trouble with when planning the menu, it’s what to make for dessert. See, you’re not supposed to have any wheat, oats, rye or barley. That means most flours are off the table. You also shouldn’t eat corn, rice, millet or legumes. So, you… Continue reading Cherry Lime Macaroons

Citrus Raspberry Trifle

We’re right in the middle of two of my favorite seasons: citrus and Girl Scout Cookie. Okay, I know Girl Scout Cookies aren’t necessarily a season, but they’re around for at least a month (and still available until March 12th) and that’s more than enough for me. I’m a huge girl scout cookie fan. I’ve… Continue reading Citrus Raspberry Trifle

Chocolate Raspberry Thumbprints

Two big holidays are next week: Valentine’s Day and Galentine’s Day.  Galentine’s Day? What the H.E.double hockey sticks is Galentine’s Day? It’s a relatively new phenomenon where girls get together the day before Valentine’s Day, February 13th, and celebrate. You know, a girls’ night. I mean, why should you miss out on wine and chocolate… Continue reading Chocolate Raspberry Thumbprints

Dorie Greenspan and her Bee’s Sneeze Nuggets

I LOVE cookies! They’re small, sweet, bite-sized circles or squares of deliciousness. So when Melissa’s invited me to a meet, greet and taste all about cookies, I was soooooooooooooooo in! In case you aren’t familiar with the name, Dorie Greenspan is a “culinary guru” according to the New York Times. She’s been around the food… Continue reading Dorie Greenspan and her Bee’s Sneeze Nuggets

Mango Lassi Popsicles

I’ve always been a fan of mangoes. They’re sweet and a little tart and perfect for smoothies or desserts. Plus, my sons absolutely love them. They ask for them every chance they get. They don’t care if they’re fresh or dried, though they prefer them fresh, and I don’t blame them. Fresh mangoes are amazing.… Continue reading Mango Lassi Popsicles
