Everyone loves one of those iconic peanut butter cups, but the sugar and all the other ingredients they add have me saying no thanks and looking for a healthier option. Enter my protein loaded almond butter cups. I use good quality dark chocolate for starters. Store brands like Lilly's no sugar added or Enjoy Life are some great options.
Perhaps the most soul satisfying, yet ridiculously easy Italian dessert that speaks to the senses. Cold, creamy ice cream with a shot of hot, dark espresso poured over. That's it! Kind of like an adult version of an iconic ice cream float. The Italians knew what they were doing when they came up with this heavenly bite.

Zabaglione (or Sabayon) is a delectable, creamy, marsala essenced dessert sauce that can be made in minutes with just 3 ingredients. It's lucious, velvety and oh so addictive. Perfect over berries, pound cake, crumbled cookies and fruit, Get creative & this all purpose sauce will inspire you in dessert territory.
These are one of the easiest no-bake cookies and remind me so much of the holiday as my mom would make them for my dad. He would plop a couple of these balls of bourbon goodness into his coat pocket when he would go outside on a wintry day to work on the farm. He said they helped keep him warm.
Growing up in the Midwest, puddings were one of my favorite desserts. I preferred them warm, straight off the stove top (Yes, real pudding is other worldly and is actually made in a saucepan & not from a box.)
Rice pudding is so comforting and is one of those desserts that transports me back to childhood. This pud also has roots in other cultures like Mexican and Indian, and actually my current favorite way to make this creamy, oozy pud is with hints of India like cardamom, pistachio and rose.
We've all seen pumpkin rolls at the stores during the fall. They always start presenting themselves in October and November, but did you know they are very easy to make yourself and so much more delicious when you do so.
A simple cake batter enhanced with pumpkin purée that lends to a very moist cake, spiced up with all those pumpkin pie fall flavors and filled with a sweet cream cheese filling make this a quintessential fall dessert. The perfect slice of this delicious roll that that you serve your family and friends is gorgeous & looks so impressive, yet doesn't require pastry chef skills at all.
I love all things Italian and I adore simple recipes, so I knew I had to share this delicious cookie recipe with you.
Italian lemon and almond cookies, known as Ricciarelli, have a delectable, almost creamy marzipan like interior with bright notes of lemon and a slightly caramelized powdered sugar exterior. They are divine, have only 4 ingredients, come together in 1 bowl and are gluten free. Need I say more?
I have been watching those lovely puff pastry freeform tarts all over social media and knew I wanted to try them for myself. They were filled with everything imaginable, both sweet and savory.
When I came home from the grocery store I realized I had purchased phyllo (or Filo) pastry instead of puff pastry, but not to be dissuaded I decided to forge ahead to make the tarts with phyllo pastry and they were fabulous! (It's is not uncommon for me to purchase the wrong thing. In fact it's kind of a joke between Tim & I ;-)
Golden, creamy and cooling dairy free ice cream with the unique fragrant flavor that only saffron and cardamom can bring along with the crunch of pistachios. This is truly an ice cream that deserves its own moment to savor and enjoy and can be made very simply with or without an ice cream maker.
Moist chocolate cake enhanced with coffee that really doesn't give much of a coffee flavor, but seems to make the cocoa even more chocolatey. Top it all off with a fabulously easy chocolate icing that is poured onto the hot cake right out of the oven. Can you imagine it? No wonder this was in my Mom's regular rotation of things to bring to a potluck, church social or family gathering.
Chewy, ooey, gooey maple oat bars covered in chocolate that are a cinch to make? Yes please! These bars come together so quickly. It's basically mix, bake, chill and enjoy. It's literally that simple.
The fact that these bars are gluten-free and have no processed sugar just adds to their ooey, gooey allure. I use quick cooking oats, which makes them gluten-free.
I love that these cookies are easy, slightly unique, and have that wonderful sesame flavor. They are so delicious, with the coconut sugar complementing that tahini and rolling them in black and white sesame seeds just makes them super cute.
Scones have been one of my favorites ever since Tim and I went to Ireland where scones abound everywhere and I ate at least one per day. Delicious! While the Irish scones were very basic, the butter or cream they used gave them a fabulous texture, and to have a scone with my morning cup of tea was a pure pleasure on the Emerald Isle.
I'm always looking to create a unique dessert for Valentine's Day. Sometimes something romantic, sometimes something more whimsical as in these loaded with white chocolate cookies that have a hint of peppermint from crushed candies and lovely muted pink hue from beet powder (you can leave that out or use food coloring if you wanted to). I drizzle them with additional melted white chocolate and a sprinkling of the crushed peppermint candies to make a moist, dense, sweet treat for my loved ones.
I absolutely love these cupcakes. The heady flavors remind me so much of my grandmother's baking around the holidays. They are moist cupcakes with all of the gingerbread spices you would expect. Deeply alluring treacly molasses, woodsy cinnamon, zingy ginger, and espresso.
What? Did I just say espresso? Yes I did! I use a bit of espresso powder to deeper the flavors even further, but you could also use coffee as there is water in this batter.
These cookies are so special. The melting chocolate and kick of espresso really take them over the top and make them one of my current go to favorites. These were inspired by my iced coconut sugar oat milk espresso, which is a great coffee drink that I love to make for people when they come over.
These miraculously crispy margarita flavored angel food cake bites are golden and crunchy on the exterior and as moist and spongy on the interior as you would expect an angel food cake to be. They are simply divine. The lime honey yogurt dipping sauce is the perfect dipper for the bites, and just the most fun little dessert tidbits that you will experience and store bought angel food cake becomes even more heavenly.
My 2 ingredient ultimate date night dessert. Refreshing sorbet topped off with sparkling Italian Prosecco and a sprig of mint. A true love note to wrap up your date night dinner💕
This tart is so gorgeous and so wonderfully creamy and delicious that your guests will never guess it's also vegan. It is much easier to put together than you would expect and the beautifully pillowy emerald center combined with that chocolatey crust is the perfect flavor and color combination Simply gorgeous to look at.
You scream. I scream. We all scream for ice cream!
Well, this isn't exactly ice cream, but it's a delicious, non-dairy very easy way to have a dozen ice cream sandwiches in your freezer available for snacking.
Sweet heat is one of my favorite flavor profiles and these simple syrup jalapeños certainly fit the bill. They are syrupy, sticky yet fiery, and totally addictive.
I love to keep these on hand and being that they are so incredibly easy to make, I can whip them up in a jiffy and store them in my fridge for a couple of weeks to add to so many things as I see fit.
Easy soft and gooey nut butter cookies with a jammy center that come together in mere minutes using only one bowl, and are ready to serve in about 20 minutes. You can't beat that for a delicious, quick cookie. 0h wait! These happen to be gluten-free as well so that moves these up yet another notch.
Wondering what to do with all that zucchini that's coming out of your garden, or all that your neighbor is "blessing" you with? I have a perfect solution for you.
