Pimento Cheese & Bacon Jam Crostinis

Pimento Cheese & Bacon Jam Crostinis

These little crostinis are so good, I’ve decided to serve them as an appetizer for my family’s Christmas dinner this year. I’ll be hosting this dinner and if there’s one thing I’ve learned from hosting large crowds – make ahead dishes will change your life! […]

Easy Roasted Chicken & Vegetables

Easy Roasted Chicken & Vegetables

If this isn’t Sunday Supper material, I don’t know what is! This chicken is one of the easiest things you can cook for guests and turns out with such amazing flavor, you won’t believe how little effort you had to put in yourself! My favorite part […]

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 […]

Coffee Shop Favorites

Coffee Shop Favorites

I’m really serious about this latte life I lead. I LOVE coffee, probably a little too much. So for my first round-up post of my favorite spots in Raleigh, it’s only fitting that it be centered around coffee! This post details my favorite spots in […]

Butternut Squash Soup

Butternut Squash Soup

I’m not really much of a soup person, but I love this one! I didn’t try butternut squash until it became a “trendy” vegetable but I’m glad I finally hopped on board. It has a very rich taste while still being healthy for you which […]

Pear & Toasted Coconut Muffins

Pear & Toasted Coconut Muffins

I never really liked pears growing up. I thought they tasted weird and looked even more strange! But then again I also wouldn’t touch pickles, broccoli, or brussels sprouts until I became an adult. Honestly – what kind of life was I living? Whether you […]

Coconut, Toasted Almond, & Pumpkin Spice Coffee Syrups

Coconut, Toasted Almond, & Pumpkin Spice Coffee Syrups

I drink an excessive amount of lattes, I’ll admit it! It’s the one indulgence I don’t skip no matter what my diet situation is. I love the caffeine and there’s something about a hot flavored latte that warms you up in the morning. Since my […]

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 […]

Crockpot Apple Butter

Crockpot Apple Butter

This is one of the recipes I decided to test out with my apple picking haul from Millstone Creek Orchards in Ramseur, NC. This orchard was such a fun place to go and they had a lot of other things there besides just apples! They […]
