What the world needs now is love sweet love. As we get closer to Valentine’s Day I like to find ways to share love with people all around me. Passing around a few chocolate espresso sables with raspberry mascarpone filling is a good way to start. Chocolate and Valentine’s Day are basically synonymous with each…

homemade croissants
Homemade croissants, aka the best (and maybe only successful) yeasted baked good I can make. If you have been following along for a while, you know about my love-hate relationship with yeast. I like eating yeasted baked goods, but have struggled to get them right when I make them. Cookies, cakes and brownies – no…
homemade gifts and easy english toffee
We are in the final days before Christmas, and while I’m pretty much finished with my shopping (except maybe a few stocking stuffers and gift toppers), I still have lots of baking to do to make sure I can get our tokens of appreciation to the bus driver, mail delivery person, neighbors, coworkers and far-away…
chocolate peppermint cookies
I have been on a chocolate and peppermint kick lately. Evidence: the box of peppermint bark in my pantry, the candy canes on the hot chocolate bar that is still up from a party last weekend, these chocolate peppermint cookies, the three other types of chocolate peppermint cookies I made in attempts to find the…
the great pie roundup!
Can you believe we are in the single digits for our countdown to Thanksgiving?! With only 8 days to go, we are right in the thick of planning and prep time. One part of the Thanksgiving feast that can be made ahead of time or at the very last minute are the desserts. Many desserts…
link love
Happy weekend!!! In case you missed it, we drove to Nashville and back last weekend and our road trip to and through Tennessee is in Thursday’s post. It was so great and everywhere we went was beautiful! We are back to the usual working routine back home this weekend. I’m looking forward to later in November…
double chocolate chip cookies
With one week until Halloween, these double chocolate chip cookies are helping me get into the dark, spooky spirit of the holiday. I have never been that into Halloween and all of the spooky decorations, but I do love seeing all of the little kids, dressed up and so excited about their candy haul. Growing…
pumpkin coffee cake with cinnamon streusel
The weekend may be over, but this pumpkin coffee cake with cinnamon streusel makes every morning feel like the perfect fall day. Last weekend Will and I went to a pick-your-own pumpkin patch nearby (checking that one off the fall bucket list!). It was the ultimate fall activity, and even though we didn’t have quite…
twice baked croissants: apple and pumpkin pie
I can’t tell you how excited I am to share these apple and pumpkin pie twice baked croissants! They are so so so wonderful and delicious! Don’t be scared, there is no laminated dough or waiting around for days to make croissants. Nope, we’re taking the shortcut here -it is Monday, after all. What’s even…
soft pretzels with hard cider cheese dip
Football season is back and that means football snacks are back. Soft pretzels with hard cider cheese dip are a crowd pleaser, and replacing the traditional beer cheese with hard cider cheese makes the combination even more seasonal. For a while now I have wanted to work on recipes that involve yeast to try to…
