Hi Reader! I work with a really great tech company that makes sure my site is safe, fast, secure and they also give me overall website advice from time-to-time. They're amazing and I don't know what I'd do without them!! One thing they have been suggesting (for years) is for me to create some easy, no-bake recipes for the summer months. And I finally did it! Yay us! 🎉 These no-bake chocolate peanut butter bars are so easy and delicious, I don't even know what to say. The Details... The cookie...

Hi Reader! I'm really proud of this crumble! Yes, it's your basic berry crumble but with some added jazz hands.👋🏼 Picture juicy, thick berries that are covered in a crunchy, buttery streusel topping that bakes into the most DELICIOUS and easy berry crumble. The topping elevates it a bit. We use my favorite streusel topping and then sprinkle sliced almonds and Demerara sugar (if you have it) over the top. The crunch on top contrasted with the bursting, juicy berries below...just perfection....

Hi Reader! Periodically we have to go in and update older posts. That can look like getting rid of excess and/or unnecessary content, updating photos or editing the recipe so it's easier to follow. Ultimately, the most important part is THE RECIPE! That's why you all are here. This week I choose two of my favorites to update: Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies (a small-batch recipe) and Brown Butter Muscovado Chocolate Chip Cookies (an OG reader favorite!). Google doesn't love it when you...

Hi Reader! Hey baker! Do you have brown-spotted bananas on your counter right now? Because I feel like the answer is almost always yes, and I know exactly what you should do with them.

Only had two bananas so these were perfect,...

Hi Reader! Rise up fellow Gemini's, our season is here! 👯♀️ I like to celebrate the entire month of May for my birthday and I hope you do the same. That means treats where I can get them and joy wherever I can find it. I have been moderately MIA lately as life sometimes takes over in an aggressive, take-no-prisoners kinda way. I hurt my heel. Sigh. My doctor(s) thought it was a fracture and the glacial pace that our healthcare system works is truly stunning. So I've been lugging my booted...

Hi Reader! Hello, beautiful! This week I want to share a recipe that I'm always excited to bake: my favorite Lemon Raspberry Loaf. It's bright and little tangy from the lemon, it's laced with fresh raspberries and it tastes like someone bottled May sunshine and poured it into a loaf pan. It is the ultimate spring bake. Here's what I love about this cake: it's elegant enough to bring to a brunch but easy enough to make on a Tuesday night when you just need something beautiful in your life. No...

Hi Reader! Friend! May is basically nature's way of saying bake something beautiful! The strawberries are popping off in the garden, the sun is staying longer and a leisurely weekend brunch feels practically mandatory. I've pulled together 10 of my favorite recipes (including the fluffy lemon yogurt pancakes above!) that are absolutely perfect for this moment — whether you're hosting a crowd, baking for someone you love or just treating yourself on a slow Sunday morning (which is to say, my...
