Spring has sprung? Um, I'm not so sure about that! We've had snow falling the past few days here in Boston, but we were so lucky this winter that there is not a single thing to complain about! And warm weather is on its way back so until then, I'm just going to focus all my attention on these chocolate cream pie "garden cups." My favorite homemade chocolate pudding, layered with fresh whipped cream and crushed Oreo cookies in little mason jars - hello! And seriously, how cute are the little strawberry carrots? Decadent and adorable - I ...
Frangelico Nutella Tiramisu
We all have that one dessert we cannot say no to. No matter how full we are or how many times we try to convince ourselves we'll pass just this once, there's no use fighting it. For me, that dessert is tiramisu and up until last week I thought classic was where it was at, and absolutely nothing could ever top it. That is until I invited Frangelcio to the party! The rich, smooth nutty flavor of Frangelico was simply meant to be in tiramisu. Paired with espresso, mascarpone and a little Nutella, this is one dessert makeover you're going to ...
Roasted Strawberry Banana Bread
So it's official, I cannot get enough of this roasted strawberry business. I love them right off the pan, think they're all sorts of divine in mascarpone cupcakes, and I kind of can't even handle them in this banana bread! I wasn't sure how this was going to pan out when I first made it for brunch last Sunday, but it turned out so good that I had to make it again to share with you. I mean it would've just been wrong for me to share a photo on Instagram and then keep the recipe all to myself, don't ya think? First up, you need to make a batch ...
Apple Crisp Bars
Hi guys. Is everyone feeling balanced after last week's post? Good, now we can get back to business! Would you just take a look at that bar! Look at all those beautiful apples peeking out from a blanket of crisp topping, filled with brown sugar, oats, and cinnamon. Then there's the brown sugar shortbread, which is swoon-worthy all on its own. That's three layers of fall bliss right there, my friends. I don't know about you, but fall baking is in full effect in my kitchen. Temps are starting to get cooler, I've had my first pumpkin coffee of ...
Nutella Frangelico Ice Cream Sandwiches
There's something about an ice cream sandwich that makes me smile. It must have something to do with the fact that it's completely acceptable to eat one in place of a meal because it's summer, and it's just so hot that you can't bring yourself to have anything else. Maybe it's how after a few bites it begins to melt, and before you know it it's all over you and you're one sticky hot mess. What makes this whole situation even better is when that ice cream sandwich consists of boozy ice cream sandwiched between soft baked nutella cookies and ...
