July 16, 2021 by Faith 2 Comments

Ballpark Blondies, aka Brown Butter Salted Peanut Caramel Corn Blondies are rich and gooey with delicious brown sugar + butter flavor. All the fun add-ins round out the flavor profile and add texture. They’re as amazing as they sound, and perfect for any summer gathering!

I have been waiting to share these blondies with you since last December! One weekend afternoon in early December I found myself with a hankering to bake something, mainly because December and baking just go hand-in-hand, right?…

Strawberry Lemonade Muffins

June 11, 2021 by Faith 19 Comments

This post is sponsored in conjunction with #BrunchWeek. I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of this recipe. All opinions are mine alone. Strawberry Lemonade Muffins have a soft, tender crumb and a crunchy sugar coating and are aromatic with strawberry, a hint of a vanilla, and a touch of lemon. They’re always a crowd-pleaser; whip them as an addition to brunch or to take snack time to the next level. I’m a breakfast girl through and through, and could happily eat breakfast for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It just makes sense that if I like breakfast I love brunch, […]...

March 5, 2021 by Faith 169 Comments

This easy-to-make recipe for the Best Paleo Bread slices well and has great texture and flavor. Use it to make sandwiches or toast it for breakfast! I know the title of this bread sounds a bit presumptuous, but I promise I don’t mean it that way. I have to be honest…...

Eggnog Muffins with Cranberry Filling

December 23, 2020 by Faith 5 Comments

This recipe for Eggnog Muffins with Cranberry Filling features soft, fluffy eggnog-flavored muffins with a sweet/tart cranberry sauce filling. They’re a great way to satisfy a sweet tooth when you’re in the mood for something festive! Mike sometimes talks about taking a Christmas vacation to somewhere warm, but I have trouble getting behind that idea. I need cold, preferably snowy weather to feel festive. Growing up in Buffalo, our Christmases were usually white. Not that it was ever a sure thing (because some years we did end up with a mucky brown Christmas!). But it was definitely more likely to be white there than it […]...

Russian Tea Cakes (aka Snowball Cookies)

December 16, 2020 by Faith 138 Comments

Russian Tea Cakes are rich and buttery cookies with a texture similar to shortbread. They’re quick and easy to make and very festive coated in powdered sugar, which looks like snow! For the last day of my 7 Days of Festive Holiday Treats even, I wanted to share a cookie from my childhood. My mom has made Russian Tea Cakes/Snowball Cookies every Christmas for as long as I can remember. Which, oddly enough, has nothing to do with the fact that my family is Russian on my dad’s side and “Russian” is in the title of these cookies. (And I have no idea whether these […]...

Gingersnap Cookies Recipe (aka Gingersnaps)

December 10, 2020 by Faith Leave a Comment

Just like the name says, Gingersnap Cookies are rich with ginger and spice flavor and should be crispy enough to “snap” when they break. Sweetened with brown sugar and aromatic with warm spices, these satisfyingly crunchy Gingersnaps are a festive addition to a holiday cookie tray. Before I moved away from Buffalo, my mom, my sister, and I had a holiday tradition. A couple times a week in December we’d get together for an afternoon at one of our houses. We’d brew a pot of seasonal tea, sometime like peppermint, apple pie, or gingerbread, and munch on cookies as we chatted....

Pumpkin Coffee Cake Recipe

November 12, 2020 by Faith 24 Comments

This Pumpkin Coffee Cake Recipe is moist and perfectly spiced with a thick crumble topping similar to New York crumb cake. Are you a math person? I’m a weird sort of non-math math person. I’m the type of person who can figure out completely convoluted math word problems quickly. But then, I’m sad to say, my basic math skills – like multiplication and division – are pretty lacking. Sigh. I have absolutely nothing to say for myself....

Baked Apple Doughnuts Recipe with Apple Cider Glaze or Cinnamon Sugar

November 10, 2020 by Faith 6 Comments

This Baked Apple Doughnuts Recipe with Apple Cider Glaze or Cinnamon Sugar makes donuts that are moist, full of warm spice + apple flavor, and sweetly scented of fall. And it takes just 30 minutes from start-to-finish! It’s the weirdest thing ever. I don’t eat doughnuts/donuts all year long until autumn rolls around!...

Caramel Apple Cake Recipe

September 11, 2020 by Faith 31 Comments

This moist Caramel Apple Cake Recipe is warmly spiced, rich with caramel, and has a full pound of apples baked into the cake. And it’s finished off with an easy-to-make vanilla cinnamon buttercream! I can be such a party pooper when it comes to surprises. Every year before Mike’s birthday, I spend weeks searching for the perfect gift for him. I buy it in secret and then stash it away. This is all wasted energy. I always, always tell him what it is before his birthday (it’s sort-of a windfall for him, I guess)....

Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars

August 21, 2020 by Faith 1 Comment

Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars feature the classic favorite flavor combination in a delicious treat that’s perfect for snacking or school lunches. When it comes to keeping packed lunches interesting, the struggle is real. As a kid I remember getting bored with nearly every type of sandwich my mom packed. And I was bored within the first month of school starting!...
