These salted chocolate cookies are about as perfect as a chocolate cookie can get. Rich, gooey chocolate crumb, crackly top, molten chocolate chunks, and flakes of chunky sea salt. Plus they’re easy to put together, use pantry friendly ingredients, and are completely gluten free!

There’s something magical about waffles on the weekend, and these, filled with real pumpkin and all the warming spices of the season, are the perfect fall brunch treat. Pair them with some toasted pecans, rich maple syrup, and a side of bacon, and you will be in breakfast heaven!

I love to enjoy homemade pumpkin ice cream every fall. The warming spices, earthy pumpkin, and cool creamy custard are the perfect concoction for October, when the days can still be a bit warm, but the light has shifted to shades of amber and the leaves are all aflame.

I love a good brownie, but I am quite particular about what qualifies. A good brownie must be chewy, dense with nuts, rich in chocolate flavor, at least a little bit gooey, and, most importantly, crackly on the top. My friends, these BakeHouse brownies fit that bill perfectly.

I’ve been making this bread every fall for the past several years. To me it’s the perfect, decadent autumn treat filled with warming spices, earthy pumpkin, and loads of gooey chocolatey richness.

These sandwich cookies feel right for this time of year. Two sweet, soft, oatmeal laced, peanut butter cookies sandwiching a rich, dark chocolate ganache makes for a wonderful fall treat.

We can’t say goodbye to summer without one final ice cream treat, so this Labor Day we are savoring the last of the warm weather with these adorable and delicious ice cream sandwiches.

There is a lot going on in these blondies. Brown butter. Almonds. Rich chocolate chips. Flaky sea salt. But trust me, not only are these blondies one of the easiest desserts to make, but they are also ridiculously good! And they will make your house smell divine.

This pie and ice cream combo is peachy perfection for late summer. The warm aroma of cinnamon, allspice, and ginger is a prelude to fall, but the peaches remind us to linger a little longer in summer’s bounty. Paired with my favorite homemade ice cream, there’s nothing better on a warm August night.

This is such an elegant, beautiful dessert. The lavender is lovely, and floral, and balanced perfectly by the delicate notes of honey and the smooth, cold custard. If you’re trying to impress, look no farther than this ice cream!

I absolutely love a traditional Chicken Paprikash (my Grandma Helen’s was the best), but this Paprikash is anything but traditional. This Paprikash is roasted and contained all in one lovely sheet pan. It’s a lighter, more modern, and faster version to be sure, but all the hearty flavor and satisfaction remain. And it’s darn pretty to look at!

This bread really is so delicious! My children crave the soft crust and sweeter, less aerated crumb of a pan loaf, and I enjoy packing them school and summer camp lunches made with slow fermented, organic, bread! So this recipe has become a household staple.

This brown butter crust is very little extra work, but the flavor is superb, notching these lemon bars way up on the deliciousness scale! Add a tart and sweet lemon filling, and these lemon bars are a summer dream!

This pie is so goooood! The zesty lime filling is super light, creamy, and bursting with tart citrus flavor; the graham cracker crust is buttery yum; and the whole aesthetic is simple to put together but oh so pretty to look at. The best part though is the delicious tequila infused whipped cream!

I have been working on this recipe for awhile now, and I’m so excited to present these really moist, buttery muffins. They have distinct bursts of beautiful blueberry, a nice crunchy sweet streusel topping, perfectly level tops (no caved in centers here), and, best of all, the recipe is easy and very pantry friendly!

Ok these are THE BEST m&m cookies on the planet! I am obsessed! Brown butter enriched sweet cookie dough, thick chunks of dark chocolate, and of course those fun pops of chocolatey color make these m&m cookies just killer. Plus they’re gigantic and super easy to make!

I love a good Neapolitan Pizza Margherita. I mean who doesn’t? So I absolutely adore this recipe, which borrows the tomato, fresh basil, and gooey mozzarella from the pizza to adorn crispy skinned, tender chicken.

This is a very February feeling type of pie: red fruits melded with rich fudgy chocolate and encased in a beautiful lattice of flaky pastry. With a big dollop of soft whipped cream, it is decadent and so perfect for the month of love.

These cookies aren‘t just vegan. They’re also gluten free, grain free, nut free, and free of added sugars. But honest to goodness you would never know by eating them! Fluffy, chewy, rich, and perfectly sweet, these little beauties are the perfect treat we can all feel good about eating!

Most of the time I share recipes that are a little more complex, a little more effort. But just because this recipe is not complicated doesn’t mean it’s less worthy of the spotlight. And to be honest, with a newborn and three other little youngsters, I need some uncomplicated food that nourishes the body AND is delicious besides.
