I can’t believe that this week is the 4th of July. The summer is just flying by! I wouldn’t I’m the biggest patriot out there, but I do love the 4th of July. I love the hot weather, the barbecues, the flags, and the most importantly the food. I look forward to the classics every […]

Cake Batter Truffles
When thinking about what dessert I wanted to bring to Easter lunch, I immediately thought of something sweet and easy to eat. I had made cake batter truffles a few times before and love how they are an easier yet equally delicious alternative to cake pops. Proper cake pops require baking a cake, crumbling it […]
Carrot Cake Cupcakes
As you probably know, carrot cake is one of my favorite desserts. It wasn’t until the last year or two that I realized my love for this vegetable cake. As much as I love this dessert, I had never made my own recipe from scratch. I have browsed Pinterest for numerous carrot cake recipes and […]

Simple Pumpkin Pie
I’m not a huge fan of pumpkin pie but I can’t resist making it during the Thanksgiving holiday. This year, I tried my hand at it for the first time. It was a pretty simple recipe and was super easy to follow, though I definitely left room for improvement. Anyone have a favorite Thanksgiving-time recipe? […]
My Favorite Buttermilk Biscuits
When I first ordered brunch from Northstar Cafe, I didn’t expect my favorite part of the meal to be the buttermilk biscuit and black cherry preserves. I immediately fell in love! I tracked down the brand of preserves and bought a jar (Clearbrook Farms Michigan Black Cherry Preserves). In order to complete the taste at […]
