Colorful recipes with seasonal food
Maybe it’s just me, but I find a LOT of keto friendly desserts just terrible. I mean…. they have that weird sugar-substitute aftertaste that seems chemically to me. Ooooor…. the texture is off because you’ve subbed out ingredients with low carb ingredients (ie: flour for almond or cocout flour). This cheesecake though…. none of the…
I don’t know about you but I love pie. It used to be pretty low on my dessert favorites list but I am slowing coming over to the pie side. This one is a really different pie that usually confuses people at first. It has the fluffy and creamy lemon filling and then the gooey…
Want to know what’s a good idea? Making a glazed donut the base for strawberry shortcake. It’s a genius idea, in fact. Strawberry shortcake is one of my favorite desserts… I generally like it on a biscuit base but won’t say no if it’s served on angel food cake or a vanilla cake. I have…
Our mom used to make strawberry pie when we were little. It was always in the summer when berries were plentiful in our yard. The whole family used to go crazy for it. I decided to give it a go for our Easter dinner this year as we hadn’t had any strawberry pie for years. …
Angel food cake from a box mix just cannot compare to from scratch. It’s an entirely different experience. Angel food cake from scratch is a bit of a pain in the butt to make, granted, but is so worth the effort. And what is the best way to top an angel food cake? Well, that…
This Christmas I was able to get my hands on a tin of freeze dried strawberries from walmart.ca. Have you tried freeze dried fruit yet? The texture is weird but the flavor is amazing. Best of all? If you powder it, it makes for amazing desserts! There is only 4 ingredients in these little bad…
It’s certainly taken its own sweet time, but I think spring is *finally* here, just in time for the #strawberriesarethejam collaboration! I mean, it might’ve snowed last week, and it’s snowed on Mother’s Day before, so I’m not ruling winter completely gone either, but I’m just happy to be finally seeing the trees outside starting…
Where were you when the Patriots came from behind and won Superbowl 51? I was at my church, watching the game on the big screen. By the time halftime rolled around, I knew the Patriots were in big trouble, and I called my mom, who has the gift of prayer (I have the gift of…
Ever since I attempted the herringbone lattice pie crust a few months ago, I’ve been wanting another shot at getting it right. So when I saw rhubarb being sold at my local grocery story, I figured I’d try to make a tart and top it with a herringbone lattice made of poached rhubarb strips! When…
Ever since I saw this post for a S’mores Pop Tart slab pie, I just knew I had to make my own version of a frosted strawberry Pop Tart! Can you think of anything more fun and delightful than a huge slab pie filled with jammy fresh strawberries, glazed, and topped with rainbow sprinkles? …
Growing up in Cleveland, I knew this as “the really yummy cake with the fresh strawberries.” I was aware it had a name, but because I had only heard people say it and never saw it in writing, I always thought it was a “cascada” cake. It was only after leaving Cleveland that I realized…

I recently started a new job where I no longer work from home but have to go into an office every day when I’m not traveling. Unfortunately, the office is too small to have a great cafeteria so I’ve had to figure out how to bring breakfast and lunch to work for pretty much the…
