Let Me Tell You About These Keto Pecan Pie Bars… You know those recipes you start out of sheer curiosity and then, suddenly, they’re the thing you make every year? These Keto Pecan Pie Bars are that for me. I remember the first time I tried to adapt my grandma’s (slightly mystical) Pecan pie into …
Oh wow, where do I even start with these peppermint cookies? I swear, every December I’m elbow-deep in flour thanks to these little beauties. Last year, I baked a batch on a whim (well, really because I needed to use up some rogue candy canes), and suddenly half the neighborhood dropped by “just to say …
Well, Here’s How I Fell for Cranberry Jello Salad You know those recipes that feel like they come with a time machine? Cranberry Jello Salad is that one for me. I first made it at my Aunt Gladys’s Thanksgiving, where, to be real, there was a running joke about how nothing ever jiggled quite as …

How I Fell for This Tart (and Why You Might Too) Okay, I have to tell you, I didn’t grow up making fancy French desserts—not even close. The first time I tried making a French apple tart, I was way out of my element. I was house-sitting for a friend in Lyon (which sounds fancier …
No Better Excuse for Turning on the Oven Okay, so every fall—basically as soon as sweaters make their grand reappearance—I find myself making this cranberry apple crisp recipe (like, maybe too often?).
