We had a bunch of fruit leftover from my sister's bridal shower this weekend. So, I took the nectarines home, combined them with some raspberries I had in the fridge and tried out a new recipe for pie. It was kind of a complex recipe - but the pie was really good. Very flaky crust… Continue reading Nectarine Raspberry Pie

More scones
As per most get-togethers, I was asked to bring my scones to this weekend's bridal shower. However, there was some discussion as to which variety. My two sisters wanted chocolate chip as well as blueberry scones. But my nanny and mom are partial to the cranberry orange version. So - I made all three. Since… Continue reading More scones
Fudge Frosting
This is a great fudge-y frosting for topping cookies, frosting cakes or just eating with a spoon. What? Doesn't everyone do that? Today, I piped it on top of my Melt-in-your-mouth Shortbread. I also used the extra to slap between two graham crackers - a super easy family favorite treat. Fudge Frosting 2 ounces semi-sweet… Continue reading Fudge Frosting
Melt-In-Your-Mouth Shortbread
My favorite thing about these quick little shortbread bites is that they really do simply melt in your mouth. My second favorite thing is that there's only 4 ingredients - all of which you probably have in your cupboard already. Melt In Your Mouth Shortbread 1 cup butter, softened 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar 1/4 cup… Continue reading Melt-In-Your-Mouth Shortbread
Dutch Apple Pie
My husband is not really a fan of sweets. Which is probably good since I'm baking all the time. However, he loves pie. So, on top of all my baking for going away this weekend - I made him an apple pie. I'm one of those people who views the crust as simply something that… Continue reading Dutch Apple Pie
Peanut Butter Cup Cookies
This is one of my all time favorite cookies to make. First of all, peanut butter cups are like the perfect treat. Bite sized, chocolate/peanut-y deliciousness. The only thing that could make them more perfect is to wrap them in a peanut butter cookie. I once had to remake these cookies three times between Thanksgiving… Continue reading Peanut Butter Cup Cookies
Crispy Peanut Butter Balls
A few days before any family trip I turn into somewhat of a baking monster. Something inside my brain clicks over into crazy bakerlady mode and I make piles of food. Seriously - if the end of the world happens when I'm away somewhere camping, my family will survive for at least 3 months just… Continue reading Crispy Peanut Butter Balls
Throw Together Peach Crisp
I love fruit crisps. They are so easy and fast...and delicious. I had a few peaches that were rapidly going to turn into fruit fly magnets if I didn't use them tonight, so I threw together this little crisp. Peach Crisp Filling: 4 peaches, sliced medium - no need to get fancy and peel them,… Continue reading Throw Together Peach Crisp
Pumpkin Cheesecake
I make this cheesecake every year at Thanksgiving. Actually, I think I might be un-invited to Thanksgiving if I didn't bring this. It is a perfectly spiced, creamy filling surrounded by delicious graham cracker crust and the sour cream topping just puts it over the top. Pumpkin Cheesecake 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs 1/3… Continue reading Pumpkin Cheesecake
Red Velvet Cake
I made this cake for my sister's 30th birthday party. It was heavenly. Amazing. Probably the best cake I've ever eaten. You will think it's well worth all the effort. I promise. Red Velvet Cake * 1/2 cup shortening * 1 1/2 cups white sugar * 2 eggs * 2 tablespoons cocoa * 4 tablespoons… Continue reading Red Velvet Cake
