Southern panache for your life
Every Saturday I have a routine: wake up to the sun streaming through the open blinds at dawn, drink some coffee, and then run the long route to the farmers market in the park before setting off for my day. My boyfriend likes to joke that I fit in more activities to his Saturday morning
I think one of my favorite candies in the entire world has to be an Almond Joy. Something about the rich creamy coconut filling makes my tastebuds start to salivate every time I think about it. I could actually do without the chocolate on it, and would be fine with it just being a pure coconut candy.
There’s no shortage of love for lemons in my book. If I could, every meal would have the brightness of a freshly squeezed lemon added to it. I have always loved the zestiness of lemon and it’s worked it’s way into my favorite cocktails, salad dressings, and desserts. I decided to whip up this easy
Carrot cake is one of those “every season” desserts. Its spiced cake is reminiscent of Fall and Winter, but the brightness of carrots adds that freshness we crave for the warmer months.

This year instead of making 1000 traditional gingerbread cookies I opted for the low and slow approach to baking to create these chewy gingerbread
So, as I go to post this recipe I must kick myself, because of the 100+ Christmas cookies I made last year, I deleted ALL of my photos on accident documenting all the hard work that had been endured making (and eating) said cookies. The only photo that remains is one photo that I saved
It finally happened. I finally found myself with enough time and just the inspiration to make cinnamon rolls from scratch. Now, as far as breakfast pastries go, cinnamon rolls aren’t the most difficult thing to whip up ingredient wise but they do require a lot of time. However, these orange cinnamon sticky buns were worth
I don’t know what came over me but this year I had one must-make item on my Thanksgiving Menu and that was a pear tart for dessert.
