The first time I made this…

We had friends coming over for dinner and I wanted something cozy, something gooey, and definitely something with apples… but still light enough for a warm summer night.

So I grabbed my go-to apple crisp recipe, added a quick maple caramel drizzle on top, and baked it u...

The first time I made this…

It was one of those summer nights when we didn’t have a campfire but still craved something s’mores-y. The kids were asking for marshmallows, and I had a bar of dark chocolate staring at me from the pantry.

So I melted it in the oven, tossed some marshmallows on top, an...

The first time I made these…

I was deep in that post-lunch slump — you know, the kind where you’re craving something sweet but don’t want to undo all the good choices you’ve made all week.

These bars taste like sunshine and cozy Sunday baking had a baby. ☀️💕

There’s something so comforting about a warm berry crumble fresh out of the oven… especially when it’s topped with a scoop of cold vanilla yogurt or dairy-free ice cream. Heaven.

There’s just something about mini desserts that makes me feel fancy — even if I’m still wearing yoga pants and mom bun #3 for the week. 😅

These Mini Lemon Meringue Tarts are tiny bites of sunshine: a crisp little crust, a zesty-sweet lemon curd center, and that fluffy, golden meringue on top that m...

This dip was not supposed to be this good.

I originally whipped it up for my daughter’s playdate snack board — just cream cheese, strawberries, and a drizzle of honey. But when I took a taste test before serving… I had to stop myself from eating the whole bowl. 😅

It’s smooth, creamy, and lightly s...

These little bites of bliss happened by accident.

I was trying to make a full no-bake cheesecake one summer (it was too hot to turn on the oven), but I ended up with leftover filling and decided to spoon it into muffin liners. Then I topped each with a raspberry and popped them in the freezer...

Let me tell you — this Strawberry Angel Food Cake Trifle is my secret weapon for any last-minute party, brunch, or when I just want to impress without the stress.

It looks like something from a fancy bakery window but takes maybe 15 minutes to throw together (especially if you use a store-bought or...

Is there anything more comforting than a warm bowl of peach cobbler with melty vanilla ice cream?

This recipe brings back memories of barefoot summer nights, fireflies in the backyard, and my grandma’s old glass baking dish filled with sweet, juicy peaches and that perfectly golden topping.

Of cou...

You know those days when it’s too hot to turn on the oven — but you still want something sweet and summery?

This pie is your new best friend. 💁‍♀️

I first made this no-bake strawberry Jello pie on a whim during a heatwave (hello, July in Texas), and it’s been a go-to ever since. It’s cool, light, ...
