strawberry shortcake
It’s strawberry season in Tennessee, and to commemorate the once a year red-all-the-way-through-the-berry-strawberries, I thought I’d bake and post a recipe for shortcake.

fancy chocolate cake with raspberries
I’ve already had a pretty monumental month and it’s not even over yet! Being the amazingly advanced baby he is, P cut a bunch of 2 year molars at 14 months old. Sigh. Let me tell you, the past month has been sleepless in Nashville, y’all. Good news though, those suckers are now visible and we’ve been …
banana muffin mini-bundts
This banana muffin mini-bundt post almost didn’t happen today… almost. I always post a recipe in honor of my sister’s birthday, which happens to fall on St. Patrick’s day. These banana bundts have nothing to do with St. Patrick’s day other than if my sister were here, I’d have made them for her for breakfast. …
bacon cheddar twists with soft boiled eggs
OMGGGGGGG. When Bobby Flay came up with this recipe, he really hit it out of the park. Homer. It looks so impressive but is fantastically easy. Like “serve-it-to-guests” impressive but “you-only-need-30-minutes-to-make-it” easy. And the twists are the perfect dunking width and length, specifically made for sopping up all that glorious runny yellow yolk.
gluten-free (and crazy good) waffles
Ok, ok, before you head for the hills because these waffles are gluten-free, please know it is a happy coincidence! Since trying the crispiest-ever-rice-flour-coated-fried-chicken at Pinewood Social, I’ve been wanting to play around with rice flour. If it can make chicken taste that good, what else can it do? Well let me tell you, the rice …
grown up chocolate cake
January was a huge month for our household. We celebrated Baby P’s first birthday, complete with a decadent chocolate cake, lots of presents, a kiddie party, out-of-town grandparents, Snowpacolypse and only one meltdown (from me)! I’d say that’s pretty good, considering everything…
beef and broccoli mushroom stir fry
I just looked back at the last 5 posts I made and they are all for sweets. I swear we’ve been eating lots of good things other than sugar! I’ve been perfecting this stir fry since mid-December. Nothing is more comforting in wintertime than a warm beef and broccoli mushroom stir fry. This rice bowl has made …
chocolate custard pie with vanilla wafer pretzel crust & toasted meringue
Happy New Year!! I’m sneaking this pie in just under the “new resolutions January deadline”. People, I am serious when I write; this pie is one of the best dessert things I’ve ever eaten. I struggle to describe how stupendous it tastes! It’s an amazing amalgam of chocolate custard meets a salty, buttery vanilla crust. As far …
Sugar Cookies
I participated in my good friend’s fundraising event again this year: the Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap. The swap raises money for the non-profit charity, Cookies for Kids Cancer. Lindsay of Love & Olive Oil together with Julie of The Little Kitchen helped raised over $7,000 this season, pairing hundreds of bloggers with their cookie swap matches.
Homemade Vanilla Extract
Ok, I know making homemade vanilla extract sounds super intimidating and overly ambitious, but honestly vanilla extract barely requires a recipe, and the reward is the most intoxicatingly warm vanillariffic extract EVER. It took me about 7 minutes to throw this together. The hardest part is waiting a whole month for the beans to steep before using. …
