Shortbread cookies are one of the simplest and easiest cookies to make, and you only need staple ingredients so they are quick to make any time. I have a bunch of shortbread cookies I make on repeat, but I saw this recipe for German shortbread that uses brown butter so of course I wanted toContinue reading “Heidesand (German Shortbread Cookies)”

Peanut Butter Millionaire’s Shortbread
Anyone else completely obsessed with The Great British Bake Off and it’s spinoffs? I recently saw the kids make this recipe on Junior Bake Off and immediately wanted to make it because we love shortbread and chocolate and peanut butter is a no brainer. These are easy to make, other than hitting the right tempContinue reading “Peanut Butter Millionaire’s Shortbread”
Mango Coconut Mousse Cake
I was trying to remember where my family’s obsession with entremet cakes came from, and I think we had one at a bakery in New Orleans the first time we went there. They tend to be fairly delicate cakes with layers of mousse and cake and fruit gelee. They are a pleasure to eat, andContinue reading “Mango Coconut Mousse Cake”
Chocolate Skillet Cake with Whipped Chocolate Ganache Frosting
Chocolate cake is one of my very favorite desserts. I have a recipe I absolutely love, you can find it here. It is a layer cake and takes a bit of time, so when I saw this recipe on Serious Eats I wanted to try it since it looked appealing and seemed quick to make.Continue reading “Chocolate Skillet Cake with Whipped Chocolate Ganache Frosting”
Chocolate Malt Brownies
This recipe is a variation on my very favorite brownie recipe. We all love anything chocolate malt (my favorite chocolate bar in the whole world in the chocolate malt bar from Compartes chocolates), and chocolate malt brownies sounded like a great idea. I had some delicious King Arthur Flour malt powder that I had usedContinue reading “Chocolate Malt Brownies”
Key Lime Pie Bars
Key lime pie is one of my all time favorite desserts. When we visited the Florida keys, I think we ate key lime pie at four different places. 🙂 I’ve made different variations over the years, but wanted to try this one because it uses Nilla Wafers as the crust instead of the traditional grahamContinue reading “Key Lime Pie Bars”
Healthier Glazed Lemon Loaf
I saw this recipe on Kathleen Ashmore’s site and decided to give it a try. I have a lemon loaf recipe I have made a few times, but I wanted to see if this healthier version would still be satisfying. This recipe using mostly reduced fat yogurt for the moisture and only has 1/4 cupContinue reading “Healthier Glazed Lemon Loaf”
Classic Pecan Pie
My son recently asked for a pecan pie, so I am sharing that recipe today. This is a pretty straight up, classic pecan pie recipe. I saw a recipe recently I want to try where you make homemade caramel first to use for the filling instead of the typical corn syrup. If I try thatContinue reading “Classic Pecan Pie”
Blueberry Lemon Tart
I absolutely love everything about this dessert. It is sweet, tangy, light and fresh and beautiful too. The flaky crust combined with creamy filling and bright blueberry topping is about as good as dessert gets (unless it is chocolate). 🙂 This dessert looks impressive, but since it only has 3 components, it isn’t really thatContinue reading “Blueberry Lemon Tart”
Biscuit Cinnamon Rolls
I made these easy biscuit cinnamon rolls a while back, and they are really great if you are in the mood for cinnamon rolls but don’t have the time or desire to make yeasted dough. Obviously they have a more biscuit texture as opposed to the bread like texture of a normal cinnamon roll, butContinue reading “Biscuit Cinnamon Rolls”
