Chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies
When I decided to add a Recipes section to my blog, I never thought I’d enjoy it as much as I did. I never considered myself a “pro” recipe blogger, and I still don’t, but the fact is this: I love food, I love to cook, and I love to bake. But I especially love…

Pumpkin Bread with Salted Maple Butter
Like many, there are certain baked-goods that are my “go-to’s” for a select Holiday or season. My lavender cookies are my staple for Spring, my gingerbread cookies are my Christmas must-haves, and my strawberry cupcakes are…well, let’s be real, that can be enjoyed anytime of the year. Truthfully, any baked-good can be enjoyed at any time…

Apple Crumble
I recently posted an apple crumble in-the-making in my Stories, and didn’t think much of it until I received DM replies asking for a recipe.

Lavender & Honey Shortbread Cookies
Of all of the content I’ve written on my blog, I have no doubt that “lavender” has been featured and tagged on here the most. I’ve talked about how good it smells, how lovely it looks and how it provides soothing wellness. Now I’m here to talk about how wonderful it tastes. Over the past years,…

Chocolate and Strawberry Cupcakes
Sometimes the cute packaging of a cupcake set will inspire me to try a recipe, and that’s exactly what happened when I spotted this super cute Valentine’s Day cupcake at HomeSense. Just one look of the gold foil liners and the pink and gold heart toppers inspired me to bake chocolate cupcakes with strawberry buttercream.…

Authentic Baba Ghanouj
For my first post in the newly added category of my blog, I thought I’d start with a dish that is dear to my heart. It’s a recipe that’s been passed on from my Mom. I’ve watched her make this dish my entire life, and the aroma of roasted eggplants brings me back to my childhood, and…
