Espresso Salted Dark Chocolate Biscotti
Posted on September 29, 2014
These rich dark chocolate biscotti are extra crunchy, perfect for coffee dunking! I’m not usually one to choose biscotti as a dessert of choice. Often times, they are dry, super hard and not all that flavorful. These biscotti here, they are a different story. The rich dark chocolate and espresso salt ensure that every bite…
Keep It Sweet Desserts Weekly Wrap-up 9/27/14
Posted on September 27, 2014
This was really a good week in my world! First of all, I woke up to the nicest treat on Monday morning… some of my best blogger friends threw me a surprise virtual baby shower! Since I didn’t have an actual shower this was even more special. The posts were so nice and the recipes…
Cinnamon Roll Blondie Bites
Posted on September 25, 2014
Mini cinnamon chip blondies are topped with the perfect cinnamon roll cream cheese frosting! So I realize I’ve been posting a ton of cinnamon-seasoned desserts lately, but can you blame me? Cinnamon enhances all things pumpkin and apple, but it really shines on its own as well. As a result, I gave these blondies the…
Sweet and Salty Toll House Pie
Posted on September 22, 2014
This warm sweet and salty cookie pie is perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream! This is just one of those posts where I’m going to cringe looking at the pictures, but the recipe is too good not to share and frankly, sometimes the most UN-photogenic desserts are the tastiest. Way back on our…

Posted on September 20, 2014
Anyone else extra happy that it’s the weekend? I think now that we are a couple of weeks into September it’s more like real life during the week and the weekends are becoming more precious. A lot of people tell us to enjoy the time just the two of us that we have left and…
Black and White Cookie Cake
Posted on September 18, 2014
This giant black and white cookie is a huge version of the classic New York treat! Before moving to New York City eight years ago, or I guess before I lived here the summer before that, I didn't understand the fixation on the Black and White Cookie. Matt loves them and you can find them…
Cinnamon Chip Whole Wheat Pumpkin Scones
Posted on September 15, 2014
Lightly sweetened pumpkin scones filled with rich and flavorful cinnamon chips. I haven't had many weird pregnancy cravings, but there were a few times that I could have killed for a scone from this bakery. I don't know what it is about them that is so good, but they are insanely addicting. I think it has…

Posted on September 13, 2014
Sorry for the later posting this weekend! Our cable and internet were out for a full 24 hours. It actually scared me a little bit how lost I felt for that short period of time. Luckily everything is back in working order and I can get back to watching shows, reading blogs and playing around…
Giant Caramel Apple Cinnamon Bun with Cream Cheese Glaze
Posted on September 10, 2014
This giant cinnamon roll is oozing with a gooey caramel apple and topped with a perfect cream cheese glaze. I think Matt put it perfectly when he said, “You know how when you eat a cinnamon roll and the middle is the best part? This is like getting almost only the middle!” Seriously, though. I’ve…
Lighter Chocolate Chip Banana Cake
Posted on September 8, 2014
Super moist banana cake loaded with chocolate but not loaded with fat! My mom has made some version of this banana cake at least once (usually more) a year every year for as long as I can remember. Chocolate chip filled for a holiday, chipless and stacked with chocolate cake and peanut butter frosting for…

This week went by nice and fast which was perfect for me. Yesterday my sister and her boyfriend moved into their new apartment (very close by!!!) which was super exciting. Today I actually have lots of plans with friends. I’m kicking things off with a yoga class with Katie (nice change from my videos I…
Pumpkin Blondies with Caramelized White Chocolate Swirl
Posted on September 4, 2014
Dense and fudgy pumpkin blondies with a rich caramelized white chocolate swirl. About a year ago, I absolutely fell in love with caramelized white chocolate. Luscious, creamy, sweet, decadent; so many reasons to love it. And thanks to that wonderful ingredient, these pumpkin cupcakes are one of my favorite recipes on the blog. This time…
Pregnancy Update: 33 Weeks+

Serious third trimester progress and a pregnancy update Man, my belly is BIG Yeah, this third trimester thing is no joke. My first trimester I was super exhausted but still physically capable, but now I’m getting exhausted again and not so physically capable. Generally I feel good but I get more and more tired on…
