Rainbow Cookie Doughnuts

People often ask what prompted me to start this blog. After graduating college (where I didn’t have more than a microwave for four years) I began baking constantly.

There is absolutely, positively no reason you shouldn’t make this milkshake. It only requires 3 ingredients, 1 tool for cleanup, & 4 minutes of your time (not even 5 minutes, people).

Cinnamon Roll Popcorn with SkinnyPop

Speaking of that ganache, if you scour the internet as I do, you’ll notice the only types of ganache recipes out there are for dark, […]

These everything bagel bites are, well, EVERYTHING. Not only are they super easy to make, they’re beyond delicious & make you look super profesh in the kitchen.

Goat Cheesecake Brownies

(Watch that becomes the latest food trend in 5 years…) Rather there is goat cheese in the brownies. Rich, chocolatey brownies that are topped with a  goat […]
