An amazing scone requires only a handful of ingredients which is why the quality and ratio of ingredients is so vital! Scones are all about the: butter, flour, cream/buttermilk, and optional flavorings. Equally important is the texture which is why the process of mixing (or rather minimizing mixing!) is crucial.  The fun part about this much healthier recipe is that we are still using the same simple method and short ingredient list, just making a […]

Years ago, Nutella made us fall in love with the classic hazelnut and chocolate pairing on everything from toast to fruit to pie. And there’s no shortage of chocolate hazelnuts desserts on the web (I mean hello Vegan Nutella Cinnamon Rolls!) Many European pastries also combine this delightful combo that many of us adore.

It’s quite rare for me to have a full pour of Prosecco left in the bottle, especially after a holiday, however, Trader Joe’s had giant bottles this year so we ended up with a glass or two extra 🥂🎉💞 I saw this as the perfect opportunity to bake a dessert with some bubbly!

More coffee forward than a PSL, made with real pumpkin, and served in a “sippy” cup in order to experience the sweet frothy cream on top – I will admit it’s one of the […]

I know you’re all too familiar with Caesar, but Brassica-whattt??? Brassica literally just refers to the cabbage family of veggies (cauliflower,  kale, cabbage, arugula, Brussel sprouts, etc) also called cruciferous vegetables. It may sound fancy but believe me – this is one of my quickest, easiest recipes to date! Why did I change up the lettuce component here?? Well, we’ve all eaten our fair share of romaine and though I won’t call it “bad” – […]
