With summer officially in swing, I can’t help but think of fair food: funnel cakes, candy apples, corn dogs, and, as you can imagine, cotton candy! Growing up, I used to LOVE cotton candy, especially the blue (actually, anything blue candy gets my vote), so it only makes sense that I made a cupcake version….

Coffee Caramel Ice Cream
Nothing screams “Summer!” quite like ice cream. And, sure, you can go with the traditional–vanilla, strawberry, chocolate–once you’ve mastered those, it’s time to move onto something something more adventurous. Actually, “mastered” might not even be the right word. Did you know ice cream actually isn’t all that difficult to make? It’s true! Outside of the…
Coconut Almond Bars & Classic Yellow Birthday Cake
Did you miss last month’s recipes? Now’s your chance to catch up. Not only did I make myself a birthday (apparently you aren’t supposed to make your own birthday cake, but who cares!), but I also make something that incorporates both coconut flakes and almonds (two things my boyfriend hates but managed to love this…
Coconut Almond Bars
Coconut Almond Bars When it comes to baking, these bars are as healthy as they get. Due they have a decent amount of sugar? Of course. Can we taste the butter? Absolutely. But there is also coconut and almonds, which means these are the epitome of ~healthy snacking~ right? Okay, maybe not. But they’re delicious,…

PB&J Cupcakes
I know what you’re thinking: “Wow, another peanut butter recipe? Danielle must really be obsessed with peanut butter.” The answer is yes, yes I am. These bring me back to my childhood. Lunch was always a PB&J on wheat bread. And these taste so much like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich that I can’t…
Brown Sugar Orange Triangles & Peanut Butter Cookies
It’s so hard to believe that it’s already April–and Spring! I don’t know about you, but I was getting tired of snow…and snow…and more snow. Don’t get me wrong, it gave me the perfect excuse to stay in and bake, but sometimes it’s nice to have a bit of sunshine and not need to ear…
Peanut Butter Cookies
Who knew peanut butter cookies were so easy to make? I admit, this wasn’t the original recipe I’d planned on for this week, but, after a snow day/ work from home day a few days ago and a strong desire to bake something that wouldn’t take up a lot of time, these were so easy…
Snickerdoodles & Red Velvet
I can’t believe it’s already March! Though this blog is still nee, with my third recipe already out, I thought it’s be fun to look back at how we got here. P.S.: best not look at this on an empty stomach–the photos ahead might make you a bit hungry!
Red Velvet Cupcakes
Valentine’s Day may be over, but it’s never too late to enjoy red velvet cupcakes. Speaking of red velvet, did you know that “red velvet” isn’t its own flavor? Nope, it’s chocolate (deceptive, I know!). And while the red color used to be caused by a chemical reaction in the ingredients, today it’s mostly done…
