Growing up, I always preferred the slice of cake with the least amount of frosting on it.
I was the quiet one who waited for a center piece, while everyone else was fighting over the edge/corner/giant flower-frosting pieces.
I have changed.
I am now, thanks to my Mom, a frosting “snob”.
This is the single greatest buttercream frosting I’ve ever made.
Regular buttercream, which is butter, vanilla and sugar, just hasn’t been cutting it for me lately.
Late night post = short and sweet post.
Sweet, thanks to these delicious raspberry white chocolate scones.
Not only do these scones have fresh raspberries, but they have white chocolate and ricotta cheese in them!
They are rich and decadent while remaining light and fluffy, a feat only these scones can accomplish.
Remember back in March when it was 85 degrees without a cloud in the sky?
How I spent my Friday laying out on my deck drinking a margarita…alone…at 3…?
Well I made this refreshing salad then, when we were enjoying the heat and thinking summer had arrived early.
Now it’s freezing cold and windy ALLLLLLLL the time.
I knew I had to make these cookies the moment I laid eyes on them.
What’s better than a dulce de leche cookie…???
A dulce de leche sandwich cookie with the sweet caramel in the middle!
You may look closely at that picture and wonder why it looks like chocolate in the middle and not caramel….
Well…that’s because I decided Nutella would be an even tastier addition to these sweet caramel cookies.
You may remember back to the homemade dulce de leche recipe I shared a few months back. It was the same delicious caramel I used in the Salted Caramel Pie that became Mikey’s favorite pie to date…
Have you heard of the Pinterest craze amongst women (and men…but mostly women)?
I am a straight up addict.
I am never left uninspired. Whether it be pretty desserts, amazing DIY projects or fun fashion ideas, I literally can spend hours perusing the different pins.
If you are as addicted as I am, chances are you’ve seen pictures of these strawberries before.
I have a pregnant friend who discovered these strawberries on Pinterest and requested I make them for her, which I obviously obliged immediately.
There is nothing I love more than a recipe request.
Seriously.
Sometimes I can’t figure out what to make and I get stuck in a rut of not knowing what I want or what you might want.
So if you’re EVER craving something, tell me and I will make it for you immediately.
AKA, tell me what you want and I’ll make it for you this weekend.
Ready……………..GO.
