Watch Me Make Carrot Cake Trifles in Under 2 Minutes

It’s so close to Christmas I can taste it… especially after filling our studio kitchen with all the holiday aromas when I made these orange carrot cake trifles last week. Click here for the recipe, and watch the video above to see how super fast they come together. Let me know if you give them […]

Orange Carrot Cake Trifles

One of the best ways my mom communicates love is through carrot cake. Seriously. Her co-workers know that it’s gonna be a great day when she shows up to the hospital (she’s a psych nurse) holding the covered dish that houses her famous 3-layered orange carrot cake sandwiched with orange cream cheese frosting. It’s insanely […]

Curry & Brown Sugar Holiday Snack Mix

Is anybody else craving simplicity this holiday season? Maybe it’s the fact that I’m coming off of a week of two turkeys, three pies and more overindulgence than I’m willing to admit, but this week, I’m just looking to simplify.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m as pumped for the holidays as the next gal — […]

If Making Pie Scares You, This Plum & Thyme Tart Is for You

While I’m not totally freaked out by the idea of making pie from scratch (Callie helped demystify it here and showed us how to decorate it here), let’s just say that it still feels like a big production for me. One that I’d attempt when I have a long, lazy Sunday afternoon ahead of me, or maybe for […]

Rosé Poached Peaches with Whipped Coconut Cream

We learned how to make this delicious vegan dessert when Alison Cayne of Haven’s Kitchen came to town and taught us a cooking class (see the full story here). Her poached peaches and coconut whipped cream make for the perfect summertime dessert! Discover more of Alison’s fun recipes in her new book The Haven’s Kitchen Cooking School. […]

Vanilla Panna Cotta with Strawberries, Basil, & Almonds

in partnership with Blue Diamond Almonds // photos by kristen kilpatrick One of the best nights of my life started and ended with this panna cotta. It was time for our cooking class at the villa we rented in Tuscany last month, and after pouring the Chianti and turning up the music, Giuseppina showed our group how to […]

These Frosé Popsicles Just Made Summer a Lot More Fun

It’s no secret that I’m a major rosé fan – my Instagram feed is like a Where’s Waldo of pink wine with bottles and glasses peeking out of perhaps a few too many shots. And come summer, the only thing that makes a chilled glass of rosé even better is when it’s frozen (i.e. frosé) and we just […]

Cardamom-Yogurt Mousse with Mango

I’m a huge fan of yogurt in desserts. Whether I’m treating myself of a bowl of froyo (always tart), indulging in no-bake cheesecake, or experimenting with panna cotta, I can always count on greek yogurt to add its signature tang and creaminess to my favorite desserts while keeping guilt to a minimum. In honor of […]

Bumbleberry Galettes with Cornmeal Crust

I was inspired to create today’s recipe, thanks to a run-in with some especially lackluster pie dough. Actually, several lackluster pies, filled with some of the tastiest, freshest fillings I’ve ever had, but surrounded by under-baked, flavorless, dry crust. The worst, right?! As I indulged in a slice of one of these said pies (we’ll leave […]

Flourless Pistachio Cakes & Honey-Lemon Yogurt Glaze

These flourless pistachio cakes are proof that not all gluten-free baking has to be complicated. Even as an avid baker with a healthy knowledge of baking ratios and substitutions, I often find gluten-free recipes to be intimidating, requiring expensive specialty ingredients that yield inconsistent results. To those of you who have tackled gluten-free baking head-on […]
