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!

Here is the last installment of Halloween cookie decorating tutorials this year. I hope you have had as much fun as I did! And because it’s the end I am showing you how to make two types of cookies.

Have you ever had an idea in your head that you just became obsessed with? Well sometimes that happens to me with flavors and recipes. This week I was craving butterscotch pudding but none were available that were completely top eight free.

I decided I needed to create my own that was easy, simple and tasted delightful.

It’s summertime here and that means so many fruits and vegetables that are in season. With all these fresh options available I thought I needed to add some more veggies into my diet in muffin form so cinnamon zucchini muffins seemed like the perfect combination.

Wow that’s a mouthful! But don’t worry it’ll be well worth it when this is baking in the oven making your house fill with the smells of cinnamon and blueberry! It’s summer here and that means berry season is in full swing and with the heat coming on strong baking is something that might not be a top priority but this recipe makes quite a large amount so there might even be enough for some leftovers the next day!

The thing with allergy friendly recipes is that they never quite feel or taste like the original items they are trying to mimic but this new and improved “cream cheese” frosting I think gets as close as possible. This frosting can even be piped!

With Valentines Day quickly upon us I decided to revisit my most popular recipe- whoopie pies and add even more love to them. It being the holiday of love red velvet was an easy decision!

With winter fast approaching that means apple cider and pumpkin fade into peppermint and gingerbread. Being an allergy family that means another season smelling all the yummy delicious things without actually being able to touch or taste them.

Here’s a quick and simple recipe to get your gingerbread fix in a cupcake!

If you are anything like me Fall is when apple picking is a fun family affair but I seem to go overboard every year and end up with more apples than counter space.

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…

This will be a quick post about my first attempt at babkah. Let’s just say it wasn’t a complete fail but it also wasn’t a win either.

What’s better than a cutout sugar cookie? A cute pinwheel cookie because it’s both vanilla and chocolate! It takes my simple cut out sugar cookie and adds another delicious element and design. Either way they are delicious!

When I was growing up I remember always having these cake-y cookies whenever we had extended family get togethers. Usually they were held at my grandparents house on the North Shore and one of the family would pick up Black and Whites from a Jewish deli/bakery near Boston. I didn’t know they were called Black and White Cookies until after college and that they aren’t a Jewish thing but a New York staple!

This treat is a combo of two of my favorite desserts I have created over the years. My Cecelia named them BB Treats- Blondies and Brownies together. They are decadent and truly addicting! The only hard part about making them is waiting for them to cool while they make the whole house smell so good.

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.

Linzer cookies are something that I remember eating in my grandparents’ kitchen as a child. They always seemed to have tins of cookies and Linzer cookies were one of my favorites with that delicious combo of raspberry jam and buttery cookies.

When you think of vegan cupcakes most people think chocolate. This is because most vanilla cupcakes just aren’t quite right when you change or substitute an ingredient. It’s either too dry, flavorless, or grainy. In other words, it’s not great, so it’s not worth eating. Well that is a thing of the past

It has come to my attention that I had a great variety of tasty baked donuts but I was missing one of the best ones around- chocolate! With my Cecelia being the chocoholic, that she is, this was a huge misstep for me.
