What is fruit curd? It doesn’t have a pretty name, but it’s such a luxurious treat. Dessert curd is created by cooking eggs with fruit juice (usually citrus), zest, sugar, and sometimes butter. There’s a thousand variations on the actual ingredients and methods for making curd, but the result is the same – a rich, smooth spread…
Easy Eggnog Custard
Eggnog is one of my most anticipated holiday indulgences. I get excited as soon as I see the refrigerated section of my grocery store fill up with cartons and jugs of the thick, smooth nectar. Seeing eggnog in the stores is one of my earliest signals that Christmas is not far away. Though I’m content…
Cherry Cola Dumpling Bake
Some of the best desserts are those that appear to be much more complex than they actually are. This hot skillet of baked cherry cola dumplings is a prime example of that very thing. They are simple and easy enough to put together to serve your family as an after dinner treat, but they are…
Dark Chocolate Cashew Butter Cups
If you’re a peanut butter cup lover, and we definitely are in our house, did you know you can make your own at home using your own flavor combinations and only 3 ingredients? I used Bestie Cashew Butter for the filling in these cups. Have you ever tried cashew butter? It’s delicious. Soo smooth and creamy….

It’s just so much easier to get a thicker cookie without having to worry about them spreading out too much…

An Embarrassing Shameful Dessert
Ugh, just don’t even look at this post. Seriously, you can just pass this one right on by and I won’t mind, really. See you next time! Oh, you’re still here? Okay, well don’t say I didn’t warn you… This is one of those recipes that’s not really a recipe. It’s one of those desserts…
Strawberry Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
Posting an ice cream recipe in the dead middle of winter seems like a perfectly reasonable and logical thing to do, right? Last fall, Matt went out to do some grocery shopping, and unbeknownst to me, he also had a coupon in his pocket for Bed, Bath, & Beyond. When he came home, he unloaded…
