Videri Chocolate Raspberry Tart

Videri Chocolate Raspberry Tart

If you live in the Triangle and love chocolate, chances are you have heard of  Videri Chocolate Factory. In non-pandemic times, you can take a free tour of their chocolate factory in Downtown Raleigh! They have an amazing selection of chocolate bars, bonbons, and even […]

Dark Chocolate Pistachio Shortbread Cookies

Dark Chocolate Pistachio Shortbread Cookies

One of my favorite ice cream shops in the Triangle is Andia’s Ice Cream. Until recently, it was at least a 25 minute drive from my place. But this month they finally opened a location on the East side of Cary, so it’s now only […]

Chocolate Chess Pie

Chocolate Chess Pie

This is probably my favorite pie ever and I’m kind of surprised I haven’t written out this recipe yet. It’s super easy and you should have almost all the ingredients already in your pantry. It doesn’t get better than a warm slice of chocolate chess […]

Walnut Brownies with Chocolate Buttercream

Walnut Brownies with Chocolate Buttercream

Whenever we had brownies growing up, my mom would frost them with chocolate buttercream. This totally ruined me for regular brownies, they don’t even appeal to me anymore without icing! These brownies have no special ingredients. You probably have everything you need in your fridge […]

Easter Crack Stacks

Easter Crack Stacks

Easter is on it’s way and I’ve always thought of this holiday as a very kid-friendly one. When I was growing up, my grandparents saved a giant Snoopy figurine all year full of spare change and on Easter Sunday after church and a family meal, […]

Lemon Coconut Bars

Lemon Coconut Bars

I was reminded the other day that many cooking bloggers spend way too much time telling you their life story at the beginning of a post when you just came for the recipe. Ha! Totally a little guilty of that. I try to keep it […]

Ginger Molasses Cookies

Ginger Molasses Cookies

FINALLY! Christmas cookie season has arrived. I love baking. It’s so relaxing for me and it’s fun to get creative with decorations. There’s something really satisfying about making a dessert look pretty enough to sit in a bakery window. That’s why I love the holiday […]

Pumpkin Creme Brulee

Pumpkin Creme Brulee

To be completely honest, I’m not really into the whole fall pumpkin-everything craze. It’s a good flavor, don’t get me wrong. But I think it should be enjoyed in moderation. As in maybe a couple recipes per season! This one is definitely a winner though. […]

Birthday Cake Rice Krispy Treats

Birthday Cake Rice Krispy Treats

If you make these, I promise they will be gone faster than you can say “krispy treat”! A couple years ago I had a serious obsession with Golden Birthday Cake Oreos. They were genuinely dangerous for me, I could not resist. Thankfully, they stopped making […]

Apple Custard Pie

Apple Custard Pie

I went apple picking this past weekend and I walked away with *all* the apple baking inspiration! This pie was the first thing I wanted to conquer and I used all my Golden Delicious apples on it. This pie is basically a cross between creme […]
