We’re closing out September with a subtle nod to fall with these maple chai snickerdoodles. They aren’t an in-your-face fall flavor like pumpkin or sweet potato might be, but they still have those warm spices that make you want to cozy up inside and wish that fall weather was here for good. I was excited…

plum & peach galette with cinnamon whipped cream
What’s easier than pie? Galette. Specifically this plum & peach galette with cinnamon whipped cream. There are so many things to love about this plum and peach galette. It looks impressive, but is so simple and easy, and showcases the sweet natural flavors of summer. The buttery, flakey crust comes together with just a few…
pistachio cinnamon morning buns
I realized last night that after the long weekend last week, I never got around to posting. Whoops! We were on the road on Tuesday and it felt like our routine was totally off until the weekend came and we got a reset. While I missed you last week, these pistachio cinnamon morning buns were…
apple cake with apple cider soak, brown butter crumble, and cinnamon frosting
While cake is not my preferred dessert, I love the creativity that comes with making a cake. Each layer and part is an opportunity to create one piece of a greater flavor profile. This apple cake with apple cider soak, brown butter crumble, and cinnamon frosting is the perfect example. Fall and winter are my…
roasted berry coffee cake
Our family has a Memorial Day brunch tradition. It started naturally. A few years ago, I came home from college for the summer and as Memorial Day approached, my family realized we would all be home for the holiday and didn’t have plans. As we like to do, we turned to brunch on the back…
maple caramel apple pie

Some people love pies, some people can’t get into them; some people could eat fruit pies all day, and some will eat any pie except the fruit-filled ones (see yesterday’s chocolate chess bourbon pecan pie if…
slow cooker apple cinnamon steel cut oats
I don’t know if I would consider myself a morning person (getting up super early is still a struggle, and I stay up late every night), but I have really started to love the quiet morning hours before the busyness of the day begins. To be honest, “hours” is a bit of an exaggeration, as…
maple apple pear cider
One of my favorite things to do in the fall is curl up in a sweater with a mug of hot apple cider. Even better is sipping cider while sitting on my parents screened porch in the early morning, wrapped in a blanket to keep warm, but still feeling the crisp air around us. This…
cinnamon swirl scone bread
This loaf of cinnamon swirl scone bread is one of my favorite things to come out of our kitchen this year and I’m so excited to share the recipe with you! Scones of some variety are a staple at any family brunch we have, and have become a staple at brunches I host on my…
pumpkin pie cake with cinnamon cream cheese frosting
Happy Thanksgiving week! The big week of gratitude and feasting is in full swing, with turkeys thawing, tables decorated, and family traveling from near and far. You probably have your menu ready to go and your groceries prepped, but this pumpkin pie cake with cinnamon cream cheese frosting is well worth adding to the dessert…
