Sweet Rainier Cherry Pie (Vegan)
Who wants some pie? Just in case you missed what I just said, we’re making cherry pie! Okay, so here’s the deal, I made this pie the other day because I couldn’t help myself. The weather finally feels like summer and I couldn’t resist the temptation to use some of the huge amounts of fruit that are in season right now. I seem to be obsessed with fruit lately. The Summer season brings a lot of people to the town where I live so the air just has an extra layer of excitement and celebration. It’s just kinda fun living in a sought after tourist destination. Of course, then I’m trying to drive…

Smooth & Creamy Strawberry Rhubarb Meringue Pie (Vegan)
Confession……..making this recipe was literally my first run-in with rhubarb. I’ll be honest with you, until making this pie, rhubarb has always been on my mental list that includes things like meatloaf, chicken liver, and calamari. Things you should never mess with unless you’re on the Food Network. Basically, foods that any self-respecting food blogger knows to stay away from. Maybe that’s just me, but you see, I didn’t grow up eating rhubarb pie made by a grandmother or anything and I’m pretty sure the only time I’ve even tasted it was raw, straight out of a stranger’s garden. Let’s just say I had little confidence in cooking with it. The good news?…

5-Ingredient S’mores Puff Pastry Pop-Tarts
Yes, I’m bringing the puff pastry back! Considering the fact that they’re s’mores flavored you can probably guess what at least 3 of those ingredients are. Yep, we’re taking the pieces that make up a great s’more and stuffing them into puff pastry for a really simple treat that will convince everyone you spent hours on them, when in reality they only take about 35 minutes. Score! So my cousins are still staying with us and I love this because they’re a great source of inspiration when I need to make something new. A few days ago I was asking which things I needed to try making while they were here and one…

Spiced Cranberry Apple Pie
How did it get this late in the year guys? I don’t know, but I’m guessing those of you celebrating a holiday tomorrow and probably even many of you that aren’t, are busy doing lots of baking now that the holiday season is in full swing. This year has been quite a whirlwind for me but I’m really enjoying that things seem to be settling down a little bit for the end of it. I don’t typically bake that many pies throughout the year but I think there’s some unspoken law that says when the holidays roll around at least one or two pies are mandatory. Oh, and also when planning the dessert…

Chestnut Chocolate Chip Cinnamon Rolls
Well, it’s already mid-week you guys so I was thinking by now it would be okay to share something slightly sinful……… I was trying to wait since I know so many of us had our huge Thanksgiving feasts last week and some might have needed a few days to recover from it all. You know, like a grace period. But now I’d say it’s probably safe to share something on the indulgent side of things, and um, this definitely qualifies! So am I the only one feeling a little bit behind on Christmas shopping all of a sudden? I mean, December starts tomorrow and I seriously don’t know what happened to the year.…

Old-Fashioned Buttermilk Bar Doughnuts (Vegan)
Friday just needed something epic this week. Quick question you guys, does anyone else find it really annoying when one of your favorite products or brands gets discontinued? Urghh, it drives me nuts! For example, pepperoni. My family is obsessed (possibly a little too much) with pizza and, oh my goodness, can the guys in my house put it away like nobody’s business! Of course, there has to be meat involved or it doesn’t count as real pizza as far as they’re concerned. Usually that means some combination of bacon, sausage, salami, and obviously pepperoni. The problem though, is that the meats in Chile have completely different seasoning than what we were accustom to…

Mini Bite-Size Cinnamon Rolls
Who’s ready to kick the mid-week blues to the curb with some serious yumminess????? So I realized the other day that I’ve never shared a recipe for basic cinnamon rolls on the blog. Whahhhh?!?!? I mean, I kind of already knew that but thinking about it made me really want to. Part of the reason for me not already having posted a recipe for them is that cinnamon rolls are pretty classic and you guys all know how I can’t seem to leave good enough or basic alone. It seems like every time I’ve gotten close to making cinnamon rolls for you guys I’ve been inspired to add some sort of extra or change…
