Hello & Happy Wednesday!!           Fall is officially here. So that means you officially don’t look crazy for posting all things pumpkin and apple cider! I personally get excited about the shifting of the seasons, because towards the end I’m craving something new. While summer foods are my favorite, I love all things...

                      Hello & Happy Saturday!!           Typically on the weekends I feature brunch concepts, but I’ve been craving new pumpkin concepts. Lately I’m all about the sheet cakes as they are just so seamless, so it was clear, I had to do an effortless pumpkin sheet cake!!   What’s great about pumpkin is that you can find it...

                        Hello & Happy Saturday!!           Every week I love to do a sheet cake! With summer coming to a close I knew I had to do a pineapple cake before it’s just too late. I honestly don’t us pineapple enough in recipes. However, these pineapple cupcakes and muffins are still some of my favorite recipes today. That says a lot of of...

                        Hello & Happy Friday!!           On the weekends I love to do a dessert concept, and right now I’m all about the sheet cake! Gone are the days where you have to get fancy with icing and layer cakes. You can easily create an effortless sheet cake with half the time effort you can have an amazing cake, so I’m hooked! When...

                  Hello & Happy Friday!!           Fridays are for cakes, so this new vegan Lemon Blueberry Cake seemed like a no brainer! I once found cakes to be overwhelming and too tedious, but a simple sheet cake can be thrown together in minutes and removes all the stress of a layer cake. What’s even better about layer cakes is that this one requires just one...

                            Hello & Happy Sunday!!             Since the start of 2020 I’ve been making my way through my food bucket list and with the 4th of July weekend, I knew there was a concept I had pushing off, vegan Funnel Cake!   Whether it’s because its a dessert, it’s fried, indulgent, or far from anything I...

                    Hello & Happy Tuesday!!             Lately we’ve been reviewing recipe categories to offer more diversity with options. Believe it or not, we didn’t have a lot of cake recipes. (cue the tears) Cake is one of those things I don’t like to do on a regular basis, but when I do, I like it to be seamless. Layer cakes can be more...

                  Hello & Happy Wednesday!!               Whenever I start with a recipe category, I’m off to dreaming of the next variation! Currently I’m in a homemade pasta phase as homemade is completely different than any store bought variety you can pick up. There is also something about the process that I’m just drawn to. It’s fun,...

                          Hello & Happy Friday!!         In going thru new concepts, I came across another current food trend, the Depression Cake. At first glance I thought, this has to be a joke, no cake is depressing, and it’s not, especially this cake! The story behind this cake is that is was big during the Great Depression. Times were tough,...

                              Hello  & Happy Wednesday!!             I typically don’t feature cake on a Monday, but Valentines Day is coming and I’m all about cooking! This holiday is typically centered around going on to eat and giving the tangible, but cooking is love, especially when it’s chocolate cake!!  ...

                            Hello & Happy Tuesday!!           While we’ll be celebrating indoors, Easter is still coming! Out of all the cake flavors, Carrot Cake has always been one of my personal favorites. Being a November baby, it was still the one I always picked.    I gravitate towards all things vanilla and cinnamon more so than...

                    Hello & Happy Wednesday!!               When it comes to Christmas time, I’m all about the gingerbread! For years I was never a fan, but there is something about the pairing with cream cheese that just draws me in. One of my favorite concepts is bundt cakes. it’s basically a cake mold making the process of creating something...

                      Hello & Happy Monday!!         I have to admit, if there is something that pushes people to get in the kitchen and connect with their food, I’m all about it. Needless to say, I love the holidays and it’s the perf time to learn classic concepts that you can recreate throughout the year.    I personally love Thanksgiving recipes as the flavors...

                                Hello & Happy Thursday!!             Christmas is over, but there is STILL time for a few last minute holiday concepts. When it comes to baked goods, I’m all about the gingerbread. So this year we featured a Gingerbread Bundt Cake, Gingerbread Cinnamon Rolls, new Gingerbread Men and I...

                    Hello & Happy Tuesday!!           If you’ve been following along, I’ve been on a pumpkin rampage to produce all my cravings! Something I always love is a good bundt cake. Even though I cook full time, baking a full cake with icing just isn’t my thing and I find I can cut the sugar with a bundt cake even with the icing...

                          Hello & Happy Monday!!         While I sometimes forget, I have deep Southern roots being from Georgia! There are some concepts from childhood that will forever be staples, one of them in particular, is Pound Cake! Ironically it’s not a go to for other cultures and the majority have only experienced with the store bought...

                        Hello & Happy Thursday!             With the warmer temps I’m always crave fruit forward concepts with it be savory or sweet. While I don’t do a lot of mimosa’s, but I do love the flavor profile that champagne gives desserts! it’s just a hint, but adds a flavor dimension that just keeps me coming back for...

                  Hello & Happy Monday!!             Last week was one for the books! My days are typically jam packed with cooking (my preference), but I was inundated with projects and shooting new images for EDS, and simulataneously sick, which I never am.    I was so busy that I only got to feature one recipe!   With wearing myself thin with work and...

                        Hello & Happy Tuesday!!                 Words cannot express how grateful I am to have finally explored olive oil cakes last year. This concept had been on my foodie bucket list for a long time, but like many of us, I go from one concept to another and before I know it I’ve forgotten about that recipe I was...

                                    Hello & Happy Monday!!             I don’t know about you, but I love using fresh herbs in.. Well just about anything, but especially desserts!    They add another dimension of flavor and aesthetic appeal. My personal favorites are rosemary, sage, and thyme!   I was on a...

                              Hello & Happy Thursday!!               I had made upwards of 6 Easter recipes and although I loved them all, there was so many that I didn’t get to share each one. For me personally, I love all things carrot cake and it’s become a staple flavor that you can find it year round at the market...

                        Hello & Happy Thursday!!             I must be tired, because in all honesty I had to check my calendar to confirm the day of the week today lol. If you’re swamped with life right now, then quick and easy concept will be your saving grace! Within the past few years I’ve gravitated away from smoothies, but even having...

                            Hello & Happy Thursday!!               As pedestrian as pumpkin has become today(it’s in everything), I loved it long before the pumpkin epidemic! lol   I’ve never been a chocolate person so vanilla and cinnamon are always my go to’s! What I love about pumpkin is that it’s...

                          Hello & Happy Monday!!           I don’t know about you, but I love working with bundt cake molds and pairing fruit with herbs! The molds create the perfect outer crust, a moist (I know many cringe at that word) cake, and the perfect shape. Fruit on the other hand is abundant in the summer and herbs create another...

                        Hello & Happy Thursday!!         If there is one food I have an affinity for, it’s anything cinnamon!!   I haven’t done a breakfast recipe in a while as your typical concepts are simply pancakes, waffles, crepes, french toast etc and that’s the extent of it. However, I love a good french toast bake as well as a fun...

                        Hello & Happy Monday!!           I don’t know about you, but when it comes to food I go through phases. Needless to say, with the warm weather upon us for some reason I started craving..    Trifles lol   While this concept has been around for ages, I didn’t find as many recipes as I expected to. For many of...

                          Hello & Happy Friday!!                 For the record, I love fresh strawberries in the summer! They are in season, which means they pack optimal flavor, can be more sustainable, and you can buy them by the buckets for half the price!     While some strawberry shortcakes can be more biscuit like, this...
