Simple Strawberry Peach Galette
Anyone feeling in a Springtime mood today? So do you guys have plans for gifts and/or activities for the mothers in your life or is Mother’s Day not really on your radar? I know my mom and I know how she loves anything in the fruity pastry category so this was something I sort of made for her with Mother’s Day in mind. Of course, the family had no problem helping her finish it off though. I seriously think she ate about half of this thing over many days. Who doesn’t love a galette? What I love about galettes is that they look all fancy and labor intensive when in reality…

Lavender Vanilla Bean French Beignets (Vegan)
These beignets are officially the best beignets ever! Okay, that’s being a little dramatic, but it’s ridiculous how delicious they are if you love the flavors of vanilla and lavender together. These are a delightful twist on the classic beignet, offering a unique and indulgent flavor experience. The infusion of fragrant lavender and rich vanilla bean not only adds a touch of sophistication but also elevates the overall taste profile. The lavender imparts a subtle floral note, complemented by the warmth of vanilla, creating a harmonious blend of flavors that dance on the palate. Perfectly fried to golden perfection, these beignets captivate with their heavenly aroma and irresistible taste, making them a delectable…

Caramel Pear Swirled Streusel Babka
My internet is down at the present moment and so I’m writing this out the old fashioned with pen and paper. I’ll type it out later to post (which, if you’re reading it now I have obviously done already). As I’m writing it though, I’m realizing that I need to write like this more often because I much prefer it to typing. Mostly that’s because I’m a terrible typer, but also because it feels so much more personal. It’s like the difference between talking to someone in person versus by email or text. It’s real and tangible, I love that. I know I’ll sound like a broken record here, because I’ve already told you…

Chocolate Coconut Almond Joy Scones (Vegan)
You’ve probably all noticed that I like to take old classics and turn them into something new. I mean, how boring would it be to just write about plain jane chocolate cake or spaghetti and meatballs? Okay, actually I can think of a lot of things more boring than that and there is a time and place for traditional things, but usually it’s not here. Hopefully you haven’t noticed how much coconut has been happening around here lately, or at least, if you have I hope you are coco-nuts for coconuts (pardon the corny pun.) We just happened to get a bunch of fresh coconuts recently and it was kind of a one…

Simple Fresh Strawberry Turnovers (Vegan)
Simple. Fresh. Easy. These words are what I’m feeling today should be. I’m going to keep things short, sweet, and simple. I spend way too much time these days feeling rushed and crammed trying to get everything done. I started this blog as a creative outlet and something to fill up my extra time. Oh boy, does it fill up the time, but the point is that it is supposed to be fun. Being in the kitchen and creating delicious, sometimes crazy, always messy foods for the people I love is something that makes me happy and I love to share that with you guys. But recently I’ve been starting to dread writing posts…

Triple Chocolate Sour Cream Scones (Vegan)
I am posting one of my favorite new recipes. You seriously have to try it unless you are a scone hater. I mean, is it just me or are scones notorious for being dry and bland? The people who think that have obviously never had a good scone. My family loves scones but I usually just do basic. This time we needed a serious chocolate fix so went for triple chocolate and the results pretty much speak for themselves. These scones were a hit. We all agreed that they somehow taste exactly like chocolate pop-tarts, but better. Not sure how that happened but I am just gonna go with it. They’re like chocolate…
