Banana Cupcakes

Banana Cupcakes

This past week I was asked on two separate occasions by two different people what recipes I have that include banana. While most people use up their overly ripe bananas by making bread or muffins, neither of those baked goods are in my go-to wheelhouse so I instead wanted to come up with a few [...]

Spice Cupcakes

Spice Cupcakes

Well folks, I'm back! In June I announced on my Instagram that I was starting a hiatus from baking/blogging after we brought home an adorable and energetic little pug puppy named Boyd.

Putting a finger on exactly how to classify this dessert has eluded me long enough that I made an executive decision to call it a "crumble cake" and end the debate. I am a texture eater. While that doesn't influence what foods I will/won't eat, I [...]

Mini Pumpkin Cheesecakes

Mini Pumpkin Cheesecakes

Life without cheesecake sounds bleak indeed. I honestly believe I could eat cheesecake every single day of my life, but my better judgement gets the best of me and I remember I am not immune to the results of insane caloric intake, so I try to find creative ways to keep the cheesecake coming without [...]
