Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Fudge

Posted on September 29, 2016

Super easy homemade peanut butter and chocolate fudge made with just four ingredients! Life has been so hectic here, and I suspect I’m not alone. With busy work schedules, back-to-school time and life in general, sometimes cooking or baking for the family can take a back seat. There are so many weeks that I’m scrambling…

Where do I even begin? So much has been going on around here that sometimes I feel like I’m running around with my head about to fall off. Normal? We wrapped up the summer with my sister’s amazing wedding (it was SO much fun and she was GORGEOUS), a couple of birthday celebrations for me…

Posted on September 1, 2016

Super creamy no churn vanilla ice cream with salty candied peanuts and dark chocolate chunks. I had to share just one more ice cream recipe with you before summer is (unofficially) over.

This summer is just crazy. One day we are kicking off my sister’s wedding festivities and the next we are buying a house. It feels like we’ve been running around since then and now we are about to start the big house renovation (!!!!!) and my sister’s wedding is this month. What a summer! Even…

Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream

Posted on August 1, 2016

Rich and creamy no-churn peanut butter ice cream with swirls of milk chocolate and peanut butter. Part of me wants to apologize for the fact that all I want to make and eat is ice cream. I can’t even blame pregnancy or breastfeeding for this summer’s obsession. But you know what? No churn ice cream…

Blueberry Cake with Vanilla Bean Glaze

This fresh blueberry bundt cake with a sweet vanilla bean glaze might be the highlight of your summer desserts! I’ve been so busy making ice cream this summer (seriously, it’s almost embarrassing how much ice cream I’ve made and eaten) that I forgot how much I like to actually bake, you know, with an oven.…

Brownie Krispie Treats

Posted on July 7, 2016

Thick, chewy rice krispie treats “glued” to a fudgy brownie base with a layer of marshmallow fluff! A few weeks ago, my mom and I hosted my sister’s bridal shower.
