One of my favorite treats growing up was something called the Chipwich at the Nantucket Juice Bar. It was two massive chocolate chip cookies filled with your choice of ice cream. Over the years, I probably tried all of the flavors, but my go to has always been Cherry Vanilla (kinda weird… I know). It […]

Over the years, many of you have made my ‘Patriotic Berry Tart’. It was one of the first recipes I shared on my website many moons ago, and it is still one of my most viewed recipes. This recipe is very similar, except I changed the crust to make it even easier. Like I always […]

Why buy granola when you can whip up a batch of homemade granola in minutes? It’s a much more affordable way to enjoy the sweet and crunchy treat, plus you’ll know what ingredients are in it. None of that artificial yucky-ness. I’ve said it before, but as much as I love a good sit down […]

It wouldn’t be Easter without carrot cake and these Carrot Cake Cupcakes are without a doubt one of my favorite springtime recipes. The cake has that melt in your mouth texture, moist but not mushy and the most perfect balance of spice and sweetness. Most importantly, the frosting is to die for. It’s what makes […]
