  • Homemade Vegan Soft Pretzels | Take 2

    Homemade Vegan Soft Pretzels | Take 2

    I posted a recipe for giant homemade vegan soft pretzels awhile ago. They’re great, I love them. But I made some with my sister last week that were even better. I’ll admit right now the reasons they were better:

  • Mixed Berry Cobbler

    It’s 92 degrees here today, and seriously feels like summer. Which means fruit-based desserts and frosty treats are about to take over my bread and cookie baking ways 🙂 First up is the perfect spring baked dessert: a simple guilt free berry cobbler from Neal Barnard’s book Food for Life. I absolutely love this cobbler…

  • Gooey Secret-Ingredient Frosted Brownies

    Oh man, I made the best damn brownies last week. I’m sorry if that’s totally pompous, but they were crazy good. So good that I hoarded most of them to myself and slowly ate every single last bite. I shared a little with Preston. I handed him a fork as I clutched the brownie pan…

  • Frosted & Honeyed Cornbread Cake

    Cornbread and cake combine in this super fun and moist dessert. It feels like a great springtime dessert to me!I used some cornbread mix, added a bit more flour and baking powder in it for a cake-like consistency, added extra honey for sweetness, and frosted it with a simple honey frosting. How’s that for a…

  • Maple Pecan Scones

    Here are the scones I made for my friends last weekend! I forgot to snap pics as I was frantically baking, cleaning my apartment, and getting myself ready for a day of wine tasting early on Saturday morning. I got a couple blurry shots while we were eating, so I made the best taking pictures…

  • Blueberry Scones

    I am keeping up with my little goal to use my cookbooks more! I have a highly sophisticated bookmarking system with post-it flags in all of my cookbooks so I can more quickly sort through the recipes that I HAVE to make sooner rather than later.  Really convenient for an early weekend morning when I…

  • Maraschino Cherry Cake w/ Elderflower-Honey Buttercream

    It’s birthday cake time! Last year I made a drunken Frangelico blueberry cake, and the year before it was an amaretto-drenched cake. Plus, for Preston’s birthday he got an orange brown sugar whiskey cake. Boozy cakes have become a birthday tradition. True to that lovely tradition, my mom made me INCREDIBLE tiramisu cupcakes for the…

  • Biscuits & Gravy Brunch

    Vegan biscuits and gravy, AH! Seriously, guys, I’m addicted! SO yummy! Plus, you can whip this up way faster than you’d think. Last weekend I had some friends over for a birthday brunch. It was a little hectic getting ready for brunch because the day before was Preston’s law school prom. (Yes, I got to…

  • No Sugar Added Strawberry Cupcakes

    My niece Molly just turned one last month! Sadly, she was sick on her actual birthday, but we made sure to reschedule a birthday party for the little kiddo. Of course, I was in charge of the cake.  Baby’s first cake!  So excited.  To keep her from eating TOO much sugar, I decided to sweeten the…

  • World’s Easiest Cinnamon Rolls

    I wasn’t planning to turn these into a post, as they were just a spur-of-the-moment Christmas morning treat.  But I snapped some pictures of them, and the pictures turned out pretty well and the cinnamon rolls are even better.  So I had to share. Preston left Christmas morning to go see his family, and I had…
