I started reading Jaclyn’s blog, Cooking Classy a few months ago. I instantly felt a connection with her because we have such similar taste in food. We’ve posted very similar recipes within days (once even the same day as each other). Her photos are beautiful and her site is nothing short of classy. …

The Best Toffee Ever {and Easiest}
Here’s the deal. I don’t know if this is really the best or easiest toffee to make, because it was my first go at making homemade toffee. I’m not a huge toffee lover. I’ll never buy a Heath Bar or a Score Bar. Never. But toffee is a Christmas staple and so when I saw…

****This giveaway has ended! Happy Monday! Today is a seriously good day! Head on over to my Giveaway Page where you can enter to win a Blendtec Blender! Brett and I bought our first Blendtec blender a few months ago and we absolutely love it! We use it almost every day (sometimes multiple times a…
Peach Cream Cake
This cake is one of Brett’s childhood favorites. Apparently just one bite brings a flood of his summer childhood memories back. He wanted me to make it for our 4th of July BBQ but I told him it wasn’t festive enough. He was so offended. “What’s more American than peaches and cream?” he asked. I just…

Popcorn S’mores
I have some of the best friends and neighbors who have been bringing us meals for the last two weeks! I couldn’t appreciate it more since I haven’t had the time, the energy, or the desire to even think about making dinner. However, I’ve had no problem finding the time, mustering up the…
Strawberry Shortcake Rice Krispie Treats
Please tell me you’re swooning at the idea of a rice krispie treat filled with chunks of angel food cake topped with fresh whipped cream and strawberries? They might just be the best rice krispie treats I’ve ever had. Believe it or not, I can’t ever seem to make good rice krispie treats, they always…
Sweet Charity Pie
This is a dessert my mom always seems to make around the Holidays. I’m not usually a fan of cherry-flavored or filled desserts, but for some reason I can’t stay away from this one. I think it’s the cherry-almond flavor of the two fillings that gets me. You get a sweet cream cheese layer…
Banana Cream Eclair Pie
Thanksgiving wouldn’t quite be complete without a banana cream pie. My grandma made one every year and I’m pretty sure I was the only person to ever eat it. But by the end of the day that pie was dang near gone. So I guess that’s why she continued to make one, year after year….
Gooey Vanilla Bean Popcorn
You can probably guess what I love most about the two new seasons upon us {fall and football of course.} The food. Fall is my favorite time of year for baking. I tend to go a little pumpkin crazy. And football season, well it just gives me an excuse to get together with friends, make…
