10+ Holiday Cookies (Perfect for a Cookie Exchange or Festive Baking!)

November 23, 2018 by Faith Leave a Comment

This collection of Holiday Cookies That Are Perfect for a Cookie Exchange will make sure you put together a gorgeous cookie tray!

I need to ask, does anyone actually partake in a cookie exchange anymore? I absolutely love the idea, first because it’s a great way to try a whole bunch of new (or new to you) cookies. But also, cookie exchanges remind me of when I was a kid; my mom loved them! The nostalgia surrounding this idea is like the nostalgia surrounding the holiday season itself; it’s what makes it special. But even if you aren’t going to a cookie exchange, these holiday cookies are sure to put you in a holiday mood!…

Strawberry Streusel Sour Cream Coffee Cake

May 7, 2018 by Faith 1 Comment

Strawberry Streusel Sour Cream Coffee Cake features rich and buttery cake with a hint of vanilla aroma and strawberry flavor; you can customize it with any kind of fruit jam you like! Even though I eat low-carb most of the time, I always enjoy baking. Spending an afternoon in the kitchen watching ingredients like flour, sugar, and eggs cohesively meld into something beautiful and delicious is like magic (or if you want to realistic, it’s chemistry, lol). When I have houseguests I always try to get in as much baking as I can, not only to feed them well (I’ve been told I feed people […]...

Small Batch Maple Walnut Scones for Two

April 27, 2018 by Faith Leave a Comment

Small Batch Maple Walnut Scones for Two are perfect when you want to surprise your sweetie with a special treat, but the recipe is easy to double if you’re feeding more people or want a couple extra on hand. These scones are tender inside with a beautifully golden crust outside, and a slight maple-y aroma and nutty flavor from walnuts. Have you ever had afternoon tea at a hotel or teahouse? It’s such a deliciously fun experience, with a variety of finger sandwiches, bite-sized pastries, and scones served with butter, clotted cream, jam, and curd. It’s always elegant and fun, but I also enjoy serving […]...

The Best Fudgy Low-Carb Keto Brownies

February 7, 2018 by Faith 7 Comments

The Best Fudgy Low-Carb Keto Brownies are the perfect low-carb answer to a craving for fudgy chocolate brownies; they’re decadent and rich and completely keto. For whatever reason, certain occasions just necessitate chocolate. Without getting into the whithertos and whyfors, let’s just say Valentine’s Day is one such instance. No matter what manner in which you choose to get your fill, you can’t go wrong with anything chocolate on V-Day....

Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Maple Brown Butter Frosting and Hazelnut Caramel Crunch

January 1, 2018 by Faith 1 Comment

Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Maple Brown Butter Frosting and Hazelnut Caramel Crunch are soft and chewy with flavor notes of nuts, caramel, and maple. On the first day of the New Year it’s probably more customary to share a healthy new year’s resolution type of recipe. I’m breaking all the rules with these whoopie pies! But they might just be so wrong they’re right....

Thank you PayPal for sponsoring this post. Visit PayPal to give the gift of money this holiday season. Coconut Butterscotch Granola Cookies are the perfect cookie to ship to loved ones for the holidays; they ship well, feature nutritious ingredients like coconut, granola, and hemp seed hearts, and are packed with coconut-butterscotch flavor. Life can be so unexpected sometimes. Four Christmases ago, my entire family was in Buffalo and we spent every Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year together; it was what we were used to. We never anticipated it not being the norm, so we almost took it for granted....

Christmas Morning Cornbread Loaf Cake

December 14, 2017 by Faith 1 Comment

Christmas Morning Cornbread Loaf Cake is flavored with vanilla bean, nutmeg, and rosemary, and studded with cranberries; it doesn’t any more festive! I love hearing about holiday breakfast traditions. Some people do the bulk of the work the night before with something like a strata or bread pudding that just has to be baked in the morning. Others make a huge batch of pancakes or waffles and get the whole family involved. Or maybe it’s the classic failsafe, bacon, eggs, and toast....

Cinnamon Apple Brown Butter Blondies

December 4, 2017 by Faith 1 Comment

Cinnamon Apple Brown Butter Blondies combine sweet aromatic cinnamon apples with the gooey texture of a classic blondie; it’s a perfect pairing! For those times you want pie, but have neither the time nor the patience to make pie, I give you these blondies. Because apparently, as of late blondies have become my thing (only in the food sense, lol)....

Chai-Spiced Brown Butter Pumpkin Walnut Loaf Cake

November 20, 2017 by Faith 1 Comment

Richly-spiced and aromatic, this dense, moist Chai-Spiced Brown Butter Pumpkin Walnut Loaf Cake is an easy baking project…and it would be lovely for Thanksgiving morning! If you’re looking for inspiration for your Thanksgiving morning, look no further. I have a festive treat that’s not too over-the-top festive…it contains pumpkin, but it will in no way steal the thunder of the pumpkin pie that you serve for dessert later!...

Salted Peanut Butter and Chocolate Snickers Brown Butter Blondies

October 30, 2017 by Faith Leave a Comment

Salted Peanut Butter and Chocolate Snickers Brown Butter Blondies are gooey little bars of bliss…a great way to use up leftover Halloween candy! Every now and again I get the urge for some kind of junk food. Like a hotdog with a side of fries, or a juicy burger and a chocolate milkshake. Or pizza and wings with blue cheese (yuuummm). Or on the sweeter side, chocolate cake, mint chip ice cream, or blondies. The struggle is real, friends....
