Who needs candy bars when you’ve got cake? I’d pick cake just about any day, but with this one, you don’t have to choose! It combines the sweet and salty flavors of caramel, peanuts, and pretzels to make a Hershey’s Gold-esque layer cake! It all started when earlier this year, a coworker brought mini Hershey’s…

Miso Caramel Apple Pie
What “feels like home” to you? I’m still working on calling Memphis home because even though I’ve lived here for 5 years, there’s just something natural about saying, “I’m going home to see my family” when I travel to visit them in New York. When does one get to the point in adulthood where “home”…
Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups with Whipped Salted Caramel Frosting!
IT’S SPRING BREAK! Except Memphis decided to be awesome and bring back winter for a week. It’s all 20s, 30s, 40s, and rain here. Yuck. But I’ve got a “new” cookie recipe for you. It’s inspired by Sally and Tieghan. I took some from here and some from there, and BOOM! new chocolate chip cookie…
Brown Butter Banana Bread + Dulce de Leche
Subtitle one: How to BURN butter rather than brown it. Subtitle two: When you think you know how to do something so you have all the confidence in the world, but then you FAIL. Before making this banana bread, I’d made brown butter before. Not enough to call myself an expert, but I could do…
Dulce De Leche & Churro-Spiced Cheesecake
This cheesecake was born out of two desires: 1. To make a Mexican-inspired cheesecake to go along with a meal. 2. To use up a can of Dulce De Leche I bought unexpectedly. For more information, see below: Collin and I are part of a marriage group that meets once a week, and it’s always…
Samoa Cupcakes
It’s Girl Scout cookie season! A.k.a. so many reasons to indulge in Girl Scout cookies and trash up other baked goods to mimic them! Honestly, this recipe was born out of a necessity to use up some of my Caramel & Coconut Coffee Creamer. I bought it and had high expectations that were not met…
Rolo + Reese’s Cookies
Move over, milk. Coffee is hot on your trail. And look out, chocolate chip stand-bys. There’s a new girl in town. It’s been a little while since my last post. Excuses include a new semester at school, lack of inspiration, feeling inferior to pro food bloggers, a few kitchen fails, extra time , etc. But my hubby‘s recent…
Double Espresso Samoa Cookies
When I was thinking about posting a cookie recipe, I thought to myself, “But there are so many cookie recipes out there…What is going to make another one worth trying?” Cue a Friday night of stress/boredom baking and a desire to try something different. Enter Double Espresso Samoa Cookies. Listen, I like the classics like…
Caramel Apple Snack Cake
It’s time for a big question. Cake: Is it a snack or dessert? Does it depend on the time of day or the size of the slice? Does it have to be individually wrapped or can it be fresh from the oven? Does it have to have less sugar or some kind of “nutritional value”?…
Snickers Cake
Can’t stop. Won’t stop. (That’s the tagline for this cake.) My Mom has a great chocolate cake recipe. It’s kind of infamous in our household and just known as The Chocolate Cake. But because I can never leave anything alone, I took her cake and transformed it into some insane Snickers-level beast. So we have…
