So, About This Peach Crisp—Why I Keep Coming Back I have to admit, Bourbon Peach Crisp is my secret weapon when I’ve promised dessert but forgot (again) that the peaches on the counter were ripe three days ago. It’s the kind of recipe that feels like a summer picnic—even if you’re just in sweatpants in …
The Carrot Cake Bites That Outshine Big Cakes (I Swear!) Alrighty friend, let me get straight to it: whenever it’s spring (or honestly, whenever I just need a little comfort), I end up making these mini Carrot Cake cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. My mum used to bake the full version for Easter every year, …
Let’s Dive Right Into Lavender Banana Bread Okay, so this might sound a bit fancy, but don’t let “Lavender Banana Bread” put you off. It’s actually easier (and cozier) than it sounds.

Let Me Tell You About These Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies If you ever visited my kitchen on a rainy Saturday (or even a Tuesday, honestly), there’s a good shot you’d catch me elbow-deep in cookie dough, humming whatever tune is stuck in my head that week. Raspberry thumbprint cookies are my go-to, partly because I need …
The Cookie That’s Practically a Love Letter Okay, I have to tell you: making these Valentine’s Day M&M Cookies isn’t just about the cookies (though, seriously, they’re the star).

Hey, You Need Frosting—Like, Right Now? So, picture this: it’s 9pm, someone just texts that they’re on their way over (with cake), and I suddenly remember that store-bought frosting is…not my favorite, to put it nicely. I mean, it’s sweet, sure—but not, you know, the good kind. That’s actually how I started making this super …
Okay, friend, let’s talk Red Velvet Cookies. The first time I made these, it was on a weirdly hot November afternoon (yes, really, in November!), and I ended up with red fingerprints all over my kitchen cupboards. But hey, that’s how you know you’re having fun, right? Anyway, these cookies are now what I bake …
Trust Me, These Pistachio Pudding Cookies Will Win You Over So, the first time I tried making pistachio pudding cookies was during a random, lazy Sunday baking spree—it was raining, the kids were bouncing off the walls, and frankly, I just needed something green-ish and cheerful (funny how that color cheers up a dreary day, …
Let Me Tell You ‘Bout the Time I Made These Alright, so here’s the thing: I started making chocolate-covered strawberries once accidentally, when I had leftover melted chocolate from a disastrous attempt at homemade truffles (don’t even ask). I was staring at the sad puddle in my bowl, spotted a box of slightly-too-ripe strawberries on …
Let Me Tell You About Double Chocolate Banana Bread… Sometimes you just need a loaf of something seriously chocolatey to make a rainy Sunday feel like a cozy adventure.
