The Story Behind My Holiday Marshmallow Swirl Fudge You know those recipes that just sort of happen? That was this fudge for me.

Holiday Peppermint Bark: The One Candy I Genuinely Never Mess Up Okay, friend, this is my go-to Easy Peppermint Bark Recipe – Classic Christmas Candy in Minutes. I kid you not, I’ve whipped up a batch wearing pajamas (and once, a reindeer hat; it’s a long story) with less than an hour till folks turn…
Alright, story time before we get messy. The first time I made Moose Farts, I only did it because my cousin double-dog dared me to bring them to our family potluck. The name got a good laugh (my aunt nearly spat her tea), but no joke—half the tray was gone before dinner. Kids snuck back…

Let Me Tell You About This Cozy Pumpkin Tiramisu You know those recipes that just kind of sneak up on you and become a thing? That’s this no-bake pumpkin tiramisu for me. I made it the first time during a freakishly rainy Halloween (the kind where you just want to stay inside and watch the…
Let Me Tell You About These Blondies (No, Seriously) I swear, every autumn, my kitchen turns into a sort of pumpkin-scented laboratory. I mean, I get a little obsessed, and these Brown Butter Pumpkin Blondies with White Chocolate are the delicious result of what you might call my “annual pumpkin phase.” The first time I…
Let Me Tell You About This Granita I Can’t Stop Making Alright, picture this: It’s August, my kitchen is basically a sauna, and I’m muttering about how my ancient freezer can’t possibly keep up. Enter Pomegranate Granita—honestly, one of those desserts I started making out of pure desperation for something cold and ended up borderline…
Hey there! So, I was just thinking about this delightful little treat I whip up every spring—Chocolate Peanut Butter Bird’s Nests. Honestly, they remind me of those Easter egg hunts we used to have as kids (remember those sugary hunts?). Anyway, this recipe is as fun as it sounds, and it’s a must-try if you’re…
