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 the way a 90-year-old Italian grandma does, lol!), but also because it lets me get in my baking fix, which is like therapy for the soul.…

Robin Eggs Vanilla Sugar Cookie Cups with Strawberry White Chocolate Ganache

March 16, 2018 by Faith Leave a Comment

Robin’s Egg Vanilla Sugar Cookie Cups with Strawberry White Chocolate Ganache are an adorably spring-y Easter-themed treat. White chocolate really is an interesting thing. To me, it doesn’t taste like chocolate at all (although the aroma of cacao butter – white chocolate in its purest form – is deeply chocolaty and pretty fantastic), and since it can be considered a byproduct of making cocoa powder (which is then used as-is or made into milk or dark chocolate) some people don’t think of white chocolate as chocolate at all!...

The Best Fudgy Low-Carb Keto Brownies

February 7, 2018 by Faith 4 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....

Soft and Chewy Peanut Butter Salted Caramels

December 20, 2017 by Faith Leave a Comment

Soft and Chewy Peanut Butter Salted Caramels are a beautiful balance of sweet caramel and flaky sea salt, with deep notes of peanut butter. We all have our favorite types of candy; that one thing we can’t resist when we see it at the store. Peanut butter cups, cherry cordials, butter toffee, fudge, to name just a few. For me, when I walk by a candy shop and smell fresh-made caramel, it takes every ounce of willpower to resist. That aroma calls me like a siren....

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....

Easy Sugar-Free Turtle Cheesecake Dip

December 12, 2017 by Faith 2 Comments

Thank you to Back to Nature for sponsoring this post. I am happy for the opportunity to share brands that I believe in with my readers, and I hope you enjoy my recipe. As always, opinions stated are my own. Easy Sugar-Free Turtle Cheesecake Dip pairs caramel flavor, pecans, and chocolate in a satisfying cheesecake-like treat. Confession time. It’s hard for me to fully enjoy something like a slice of yellow cake heavy-laden with a thick layer of vanilla bean buttercream (but yuuuum, vanilla bean buttercream). Or a hot fudge sundae with ice cream that’s just starting to melt because of the rich and decadent […]...

No-Cook Cranberry Honeycomb Cheesecake Mousse

December 6, 2017 by Faith 1 Comment

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #DonVictorHoney #HoneyForHolidays #CollectiveBias No-Cook Cranberry Honeycomb Cheesecake Mousse is sweetened with honey and honeycomb to balance the sweet/tart flavor of cranberry sauce; holiday desserts don’t get any easier or more delicious! Remember the episode of Friends where Rachel attempts to make a trifle? The cookbook pages were stuck together and she ended up making a cross between a trifle and shepherd’s pie, complete with things like beef, peas, custard, and jam. I don’t know about all that (although Joey liked it, lol!), but I’ve always thought that a […]...

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)....

Flourless Pecan Pie Cashew Butter Blondies

November 27, 2017 by Faith Leave a Comment

Flourless Pecan Pie Cashew Butter Blondies are rich and gooey and full of pecan pie flavor; they’re made with a base of homemade cashew butter (made using The NutraMilk), and unless you show someone the recipe, they’d never guess these blondies are flourless! The thing is, I’ve been wanting to try my hand at baking with cashew butter for forever now. (Or, more realistically, for at least the past three years or so.) But if I’m being honest, cashew butter isn’t something that finds its way into my kitchen very often; peanut and almond butters, yes, but cashew butter…not so much. Cashews on the other […]...
