Eggnog Cream Pie with Caramel Rum Sauce… Where to begin with this beauty?! So many of my favorite flavors all wrapped into one, delicious dreamy holiday package. This Eggnog Cream Pie with Caramel Rum sauce was created in collaboration with Diamond of California. A big thank you to them + you for supporting the brands I work with! xo
We need a new party snack, don’t we? These little nuggets remind me of a very sophisticated bar snack. Something that would be equally at home next to a glass of champagne or watching football. Which sounds a little bit how I’d describe myself if we threw in a propensity for lounging and Netflix binges. And yes, I think they…
Gianduja Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies? I’ll take twenty-five please. I think it’s important that we celebrate all that is good in the world, with chocolate + hazelnut spread being one of life’s finest creations. Behold the Gianduja Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookie. Bask in her glory. Note her splendor. She’s dying to get to you know. Really. Gianduja is just a…
Sometimes something is just too dang delicious not to share and that’s the case with this spectacle of a dessert, behold the Salted Caramel S’mores Tart. If I had to pick my favorite flavor combination of summer, it would probably (most certainly) be the graham cracker-chocolate-marshmallow holy trinity of flavor combinations that is the s’more. A backyard wonder. A beachcomber’s…
Is there any better way to say goodbye to winter and hello to spring than with a Chocolate Lemon Tart? No really, is there? All of my favorite flavors are shoved into one delicious dessert treat that doesn’t just look beautiful, it tastes amazing. Even better, it’s a cinch to throw together. I mean it. This was utterly painless. I…
We need chocolate and hazelnuts and coffee in our life. Right now. Full stop. These chocolate hazelnut brownies come together so quick…in a flash. All your wet ingredients mingle together in a make-shift double boiler so that the chocolate and sugars get all melt-y and delicious. A quick whisk of the dry ingredients (and a sift if you’re feeling frisky,…
Caramelized White Chocolate Brownie Cookies With Salted Chocolate German Buttercream. There is just soooo much to unpack with this title! This cookie! First, if you haven’t been introduced to caramelized white chocolate, let me formally introduce you two now. We take any old white chocolate. You want to get something good quality, but I don’t want you to stress too…
So many things give me joy in life, and overnight anything is one of them. If I can prep something the day before and easily (breezily) wake up in the morning to something delicious. I’m in. 100%. Which is exactly what happens with these Crispy Overnight Yeast Waffles. We whisk together the ingredients the night before (flour, yeast, milk, butter…
First, let’s chat about these truffle cookies. Think of a cookie with deep chocolate flavors, a brownie-esque texture which to me equates truffles (the most sacred of food groups) and that beautiful toasty crunch that distinctively comes from hazelnuts. These are probably one of the easier cookies that you’ll throw together mingling everything on a double-boiler until it gets melted…
Have you been to Oregon? More specifically, the Tillamook Creamery? More importantly, have you mingled with Tillamook cows? I mean, I don’t want to start off bragging…but I experienced all of these things several weeks back. I’ve been working with Tillamook throughout the past year and when they flew me out to hang with them for just shy of a week,…
Holy. Crap. She’s here. I am BEYOND excited that The Cookie Book is finally out in the world. It took a lot of sore feet, tired eyes and more butter + sugar than you can possibly imagine, but it is so worth it. I am so freaking proud of this book and I can’t wait for you to have it…
I made us Chocolate Espresso Muffins loaded with heaps of chocolate chips + espresso and call it breakfast on-the-go. The espresso comes in the form of fresh-brewed espresso + finely ground espresso…in a pinch you could use some strong-brewed coffee in its place. So no worries there. These are moist, loaded with flavor and SO DELICIOUS with your morning coffee!…
Prepare to be dazzled. I was so excited when the publisher said I could share a recipe from The Cookie Book, I knew this was the one. I wanted something that would be pretty easy for you to throw together–because you must make these everything chocolate chip cookies immediately. I’m talking tonight. They’re addictive…and if we’re being completely honest here,…
Why haven’t we all been making our own crackers? This is the easiest (dare I say, foolproof?) dough that you will mess around with. It’s completely flexible…you pick the nuts, the cheese, the flours and make it your own. Crackers are one of those things that I never seem to have a fresh box of when I want them (does…
This is part of a two-part post on my trip to Argentina with Lucini Italia to meet the growers (and learn more about) their Everyday Extra Virgin Olive OIl. Part One has the recipe for Dark Chocolate Alfajores With Olive Oil Dulce De Leche that was inspired by the trip. Part Two (here) is all about where we went and stayed…
I have been playing with this recipe for Diamond of California for quite some time. I wanted to start with a dough that was nice and yeasty, full of life. I wanted it to be easy: a dough we could through together on a Wednesday, stash in the fridge and then come Friday or Saturday we could quickly roll it out…
This Creamy Hazelnut Pumpkin Cheesecake is one of those recipes that you can make a few days ahead, the whole thing, and not give it another thought until dessert time. I mean, does life get much better?! I added a similar recipe to The Cake Book: Dulce de Leche Pumpkin Cheesecake (it’s in the holiday chapter — SO GOOD), because I love this…
This is kind of a pretentious little name for a simple little muffin. We reach for common baking ingredients (flour, sugar and the like) and then frantically grab all the peaches and raspberries before fall has stolen summer’s fruit. It already feels so fleeting. The one thing that elevates this beauty to next-level status is the addition of orange blossom…
