Hi Reader! It's been a HOT few weeks as we closed out spring and stepped into summer. Jared and I actually took a road trip up to see family in the northeast, and somehow, the Florida heat traveled with us 🫠 And yet, I'm still always craving something sweet, so I figured you would be too 😉 How about we make something that doesn't require turning on our oven? Sounds like a good idea. Let's see what's NOT baking lately: 1. Peanut Butter Oreo Icebox Cake This fully loaded peanut butter Oreo...

Hi Reader! How excited are you that it's Friday 😅Because I literally have been dreaming of this day since Monday- I've got a very happy sourdough starter sitting on my counter that I cannot WAIT to bake with right now. I'm thinking English muffins along with a full sourdough loaf. My best friend just got back after a 3 month long trip to see her family, so she's definitely getting a loaf (and a batch of my double ccc- they're the BEST). So what's on your baking menu this weekend?? I have some...

Hi Reader! Happiest Friday!! We are in full fall mode here, and I'm so excited :) I'm planning on making this apple crumb cake again, and some homemade vegan PSL's (because naturally, Starbucks decided to make their PSL completely NOT vegan-friendly...Bitter??

So tomato season is most definitely upon us, and with all of this fresh summer produce, I thought I'd share my go-to easy weeknight dinner recipe that Jared and I literally make at least once a week.
