Now, “fluffy” may not be the best word, but I feel it’s a very accurate representation of these Ginger Snap Cookies. For whatever reason, I’ve been in love with Ginger Snaps in the last few years. Normally, I opt for the crunchier ones that you can find in stores. It’s been an expensive love. I […]

The Perfect Mug Brownie
I have such a sweet tooth. Oh my word, I love dessert. Sometimes, I’ll bake a box of brownies in a cupcake pan, just to pace myself. I always end up throwing something away though. #singlegirlproblems Pinterest has swarmed all over with “Mug Brownie” recipes. A huge part of me thinks it’s a farce. They […]
Bon Appetit: Taco Pizza
It’s two common guilty pleasures: pizza and tacos. It’s why there’s “Taco Tuesday” and “pizza parties”. Why not combine both?! I saw Taco Pizza all over Pinterest and was intrigued. There are a few different ways to do it, everywhere from actual pizza crust to tortillas. You can opt for a salsa base with taco cheese […]
Bon Appetit: Best Ever Herb Dip
I’m usually wary of claiming anything of mine as “Best Ever”, but this dip is PHENOMENAL. I’m pretty sure I’ll be keeping some in my fridge for the foreseeable future. Whenever I’m at a party, you’ll usually find me by the food, most often with some sort of dip. They’re just so versatile. Plus, I’m […]
Memorial Day Recipes
For us civilians removed from the true meaning of the holiday, Memorial Day is an excuse to get together with friends and family, grill out, and just spend time together not working. It’s also an excuse for us to cook for those friends and family. If you’ve been racking your brain trying to come up […]
Creamy Pasta Salad
The weather is finally starting to warm up (and stay kind of warm). One of my favorite things in warmer weather (hell, all weather) is pasta salad. There’s honestly nothing better in the world than cold pasta and veggies! And pasta salad is so versatile! If you peruse Pinterest, there are Italian pasta salads, taco […]
Yellow Cupcakes with Almond Buttercream
Just a disclaimer: Updated images for these cupcakes will come later. The first time I made them, it was an accident when I failed at cannoli cupcakes. However, they still turned out delicious! Yay for mistakes! I like adding a new recipe to my holiday baking every year. Sometimes, it’s successful. Other times, it just […]
Honey Dijon Brussels Sprouts
Ahh, fall and winter are upon us. That means it’s brussels sprouts season! For a long while, I never thought that I would be excited about brussels sprouts. My mom roasts them at home. The outsides get all crispy…it’s delicious. I got some at their local Sprouts Farmers Market and cooked them up for my […]
Ricciarelli Cookies
When we went to Europe this summer, we had one day that was a tour of Tuscany. When we were in Siena, we stopped into this tiny little shop, full of cookies. The gentleman running the shop must be fairly used to tours popping in as he had a plate of samples ready for us. […]
Kitchen & Pantry Staples
A lot of the recipes that I come up with are things that I do on the fly. Sometimes I feel creative, and I kind of just pick and choose from what I have on hand. With that being said, I wanted to go through what I tend to have in my kitchen at any […]
