If you ever wanted a dessert that looks fancy but is ridiculously forgiving… Okay, so here’s the story: I was elbow-deep in flour one rainy Saturday trying to impress my cousin who’s basically a Bake Off fanatic. And what do you know? I come up with these Puff Pastry Berry Hearts—mainly because it’s what I …
Let’s Talk About Valentine’s Day Muddy Buddies (& My Weird Traditions) So, I’ll be honest: I started making Valentine’s Day Muddy Buddies way before I should’ve been trusted with powdered sugar in the kitchen. My friend Zach and I—middle school legends, at least in our own minds—once dumped half a bag of Chex on the …
Let Me Tell You About These Heart Jam Cookies… Okay, so first things first—if you ever tried sneaking a nibble of those tins of cookies at your nan’s (you know, the ones that weirdly had, like, buttons and sewing kits inside after December?), then you’ll get the cozy vibe I’m aiming for with these Heart …
Oh hey, thanks for dropping by! If you’ve ever found yourself staring into the pantry at 9pm thinking “Why don’t I have anything sweet?”, trust me, you’re my kind of person.

That’s me, most weeks. This chocolate covered strawberries recipe is my go-to whenever I want …
There’s Just Something About Cream Cheese Mints… Alright, so I gotta tell you—cream cheese mints have been in my family’s holiday rotation since well before I actually knew what cream cheese even was (I just called them “the good mints” as a kid). The first time I made them unsupervised, I somehow managed to dye …
Let Me Tell You About Pink Velvet Whoopie Pies So, you know when it’s a rainy Saturday and the only thing to do (besides laundry—which, let’s be honest, can wait) is to bake something fun? That’s pretty much how I landed on these Pink Velvet Whoopie Pies for the first time. I wanted something that …
Let Me Tell You Why I Love Making Cherry Crumble Okay, so you know those rainy Sunday afternoons when you’re stuck inside, bored out of your mind and trying (unsuccessfully) to avoid snacking for the fifth time before noon? That’s basically when Cherry Crumble comes to my rescue. My mum used to make something similar, …
Okay, Let’s Talk Sourdough Chocolate Chip Cookies If I’m being totally honest, I didn’t set out to make Sourdough Chocolate Chip Cookies the first time this happened. It was, what, a rainy Saturday? There was leftover sourdough starter eyeing me from the back of the fridge (begging to be used, somehow multiplying overnight—I swear that …
