So these happened a couple months ago… It took a few iterations to get the custard to the right consistency and flavor, but boy oh boy did I nail it on this last iteration. There is something about cream pies that just screams summer. I remember as kid we would often buy the frozen McCain…

Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake with 2-Ingredient Fudge Frosting
Gluten-free, refined sugar-free cake with 2-ingredient frosting… are you intrigued?? This recipe came about as a birthday cake for my dad, who is diabetic and can’t have large amounts of refined sugar. Of course it’s also gluten-free and vegan, because what’s the point in making a cake that I can’t eat. Especially chocolate cake. Seriously,…
Gluten-Free Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Today I’m swooning over these chocolate chunk cookies. They’re sweet, with big chunks of melted chocolate, crispy on the outside, and chewy and tender on the inside. I’ve been playing with this recipe for the better part of a year (that’s a lot of cookies). Changing the sugars, flours, oils, and egg substitutes in each…
Healthy Brownies
Healthy Brownies. Yes that’s a thing, and no they aren’t gross. I think everyone has seen the meme for vegan healthy brownies that look like blocks of grass. I promise these are nothing like that. They’re fudge-y, dense, and super chocolatey. Vegan, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free. Remove the walnuts and they’re also nut-free in case…
Caramel Peanut Popcorn
CARAMEL. PEANUT. POPCORN. Not sure this recipe needs further introduction but just in case you need some convincing… I made my first batch of caramel peanut popcorn about 7 years ago for a family game night. It was an instant success… In fact whenever we organize game nights this popcorn is requested, or at this point…
Gluten-Free Fudge Brownies
Every once and a while I get the urge to play with gluten-free recipes. I don’t actually have any major issues with gluten, but I’ve found that when I over indulge my body makes sure to let me know. Generally speaking most of the foods I eat throughout the day are naturally gluten-free, but when…
Strawberries & Cream Cupcakes
I made these cute little guys for my godmother’s b-day last week and I was really pleased with the way the recipe turned out so I figured I’d share it. Her favorite cake is strawberry shortcake hence my decision to make a strawberry flavored treat.
Feeling Peachy!
Peaches are by far my favorite summer fruit. There’s nothing like the scent of a fresh, ripe peach, bursting with flavor. My apologies to the rest of the summer fruits, I love you all, but peaches really steal the show. Every year I look forward to that moment when the markets are stocked with baskets…
Caramel Swirl Pecan Brownies
A quick and easy brownie recipe, and pretty versatile to be honest. Having invited my parents over for dinner a couple weeks ago, I was looking for something simple to serve for dessert. Cakes and cupcakes seemed too fussy for the mood I was in.
Rocky Road Cookies
The past week or so I’ve been pumping cookies out of my kitchen at an impressive rate. Mostly an effort to try to get ahead of the Christmas baking while juggling a few other things… Christmas shopping, Christmas decorating, baking, wrapping, cleaning, organizing… not sure how I managed get myself into this mess, but there…
