So, You Want a Chicken That’s Sweet, Savory, AND Crispy? Okay, let’s talk about roast chicken. I’ve probably made a hundred different versions, but this maple glazed one is my go-to when I’m craving something a bit special (but not fussy). The first time I made it, I actually ruined a tea towel by spilling…
If I Can Make This Tiramisu Semifreddo, So Can You Look, I’m not a pastry chef. I burn toast sometimes and (don’t tell Nonna) I’ve used instant coffee in a pinch. So, when my friend Giulia first handed me a slice of her Tiramisu Semifreddo, I thought, there’s no way I can make something this…
Let Me Tell You About These Burgers… So, picture this: it’s the Fourth of July, my cousin Dave is manning the grill (he thinks he’s the grill king, but he burns hot dogs every year), and I’m in charge of the burgers. That year, I decided to try something a bit fancier—my now-famous American Dream…
Let Me Tell You About My Fourth of July Cheesecake Fireworks Okay, so every year around the Fourth, my family starts dropping not-so-subtle hints about "that one dessert with the sprinkles."

A bit messy at times, but oh-so-worth…
Oh hey there! So, let me tell you about this adorable little snack that’s become a staple during our Easter get-togethers: Easter Bunny Chow. You know those moments when you’re just craving something sweet and crunchy, but you can’t decide if you want chocolate or peanut butter? This is where Bunny Chow hops in! I…
Hey there! So, let me tell you about the time I decided to try making these Chocolate Bunny Mousse Cups. It was Easter morning, and I’d promised my family a special dessert. Naturally, I got a little carried away with the chocolate (who wouldn’t?), and there I was, my kitchen looking like a chocolate tornado…
Hey there! So, let me tell you about this little adventure I had in the kitchen with a batch of soft pretzels. It was around Easter, and I wanted something cute and fun to munch on (also to impress the kiddos, let’s be real). That’s how I ended up making these bunny-shaped soft pretzels. They’re…
Hey there! So, let me tell you about this fabulous Peach and Raspberry Crumble I whipped up last summer. It was a Saturday, the sun was shining, and I had a basket of ripe peaches practically begging to be turned into something scrumptious. I figured, why not throw in some raspberries too? You can never…
Hey there! So, there’s this little tradition I started a few years back—making cinnamon rolls that look like Easter baskets. It all began when I wanted to surprise my family with something special for Easter breakfast. I ended up creating these cute rolls that not only looked festive but tasted amazing too. (And yes, there…
