There’s just something magical about that first bite of strawberry cream pie. I made this one afternoon when the weather was warm and I wanted something sweet that didn’t require turning on the oven. One chilled slice later, I was hooked — velvety cream filling, juicy strawberries, and a buttery gra...
This strawberry cake takes me right back to my daughter’s 8th birthday. I remember staying up late, folding fresh berries into the batter and sneaking little spoonfuls of the tangy cream cheese frosting. When we cut the first slice, the whole kitchen smelled like summer. Ever since, this has been ou...
This recipe came from one of those “what do I do with this leftover lemon poppy seed loaf?” moments. I cubed it up, poured over a simple custard, and popped it in the oven. The result? Warm, golden, citrusy heaven. Now I bake this on purpose — not just as a way to use up leftovers. It’s bright, cozy...
For the longest time, I was not a baker. I could cook dinner like a pro, but baking felt... intimidating. Then one spring, I made these blackberry lemon cupcakes for a baby shower, and suddenly, I felt like someone who could bake anything. The fresh blackberries burst with sweet juice, the lemon zes...
These bars taste like sunshine and cozy Sunday baking had a baby. ☀️💕
The buttery almond shortbread crust + sweet-tart lemon-raspberry filling = absolute dessert magic. I made these for a spring baby shower last year, and they disappeared off the tray — even the non-dessert people were sneaking sec...
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...
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, ...
True story — this lemon poke cake saved my sanity during a chaotic family BBQ last summer.
I needed something quick, easy, and crowd-pleasing... but I still wanted it to feel light and a little bit fancy. You know that sweet spot between “store-bought sheet cake” and “I spent six hours on this”? 😅
...Some nights, I just want breakfast for dinner. You too?
This Asparagus and Mushroom Frittata is one of my go-to clean-out-the-fridge dinners — especially in the spring when asparagus is fresh and mushrooms are abundant. It’s light but filling, savory with a touch of earthiness, and so easy to make....
Ever feel like you want comfort food, but you need something lighter?
That was me one Thursday in early April — I’d just finished picking up the kids, the sun was out, and all I wanted was a plate of cozy pasta that didn’t leave me feeling weighed down.
That’s when this Spring Pea and Ricotta Stuf...
These cookies are like a party in every bite.
Bright colors, fruity flavors, and that soft, chewy texture that kids (and adults) can't get enough of. If you grew up with Jello cookies like I did, you know they were a staple at birthday parties and sleepovers — sugary, neon, and super fun.
