Now that there’s a chill in the air and Halloween is behind us the real holiday season begins. The classic flavors for me are gingerbread, chocolate, and peppermint!

When I think winter I immediately think peppermint discs but they’re usually filled with soy, milk, and egg but this recipe is super simple to make and, of course, top 8 free!

When it comes to macaroons there’s a million ways to make them but it all starts with coconut. Coconut is the foundation for these tasty cookies that are a Passover staple. Most require merengue which is a hard thing to substitute because the flavor and texture is usually altered yet I found a way to completely avoid it all together! All you need is three ingredients and less than a half an hour to make these.

Have you ever looked at a recipe and get super excited about it but then realize you’re missing one ingredient? Of course no store bought option is safe, so you have to spend twice as long researching and collecting more ingredients to make just one little part of the original recipe…

With this whole social distancing all I want are comfort foods or foods I grew up loving. One of those desserts is rice pudding. I don’t know about you but there is something so warm and inviting, eating something so rich and creamy.

My Cecelia is a chocoholic it seems. She loves everything she can get her hands on, as long as it’s nut free, that’s chocolate. Since the holiday season started she has also become a really big pie fan. So what do you do when you have a chocolate fan who loves pie? You make her the best chocolate pudding pie you can!

I burnt the first batch horribly. The second batch refused to release from the paper. The third batch was only slightly burnt yet undercooked and foamy. Like how do you get blondies to foam?

Found a great recipe with only one cup flour and only one egg! It sounded delicious and was super quick and easy to make. With multiple ingredient swap I decided to go from squares to muffins. This was the beginning of where things went wrong.

Are there any recipes that you just can’t figure out? Or any ingredients you would like to include in an existing recipe? Let me know what new items I should explore in this blog!
