Bust out of your shell and try this absolutely divine pistachio pie. Perfect for summer- it's light, airy, and just the right amount of sweet. An absolutely refreshing treat to rival even ice cream...yeah, I went there (nuts, I know, but really, it's a great pie). It takes about 5 minutes to put together, and… Continue reading No Bake Pistachio Pie

Don't get me tarted on how much I hate warm weather. I'd rather be layered in flannel, dashing through the snow, and enjoying ambient temperatures as cold as my heart. But here we are, early in May, with the sun trying to strike me down at every opportunity. But when life gives you lemons (or… Continue reading Lemon Mini Cheesecakes

I ain't dandy-lyin' when I say I have a new favorite springtime cupcake flavor: gluten free key lime. They are light, springy, and full of lime flavor. Between the fresh squeezed lime juice in the cupcakes and also in the cream cheese frosting, these are some of the most refreshing cupcakes I've ever tried. I… Continue reading Key Lime Cupcakes

Pied like to thank the phrase, "Where there's a will, there's a way," for making this sugar free, gluten free caramel cream pie possible. I absolutely adore caramel, but hate consuming a ton of sugar, which is essentially 90% of what makes up caramel (the other 10% belong to butter and heavy whipping cream, so… Continue reading GF/SF Caramel Cream Pie

Get egg-cited!!! It's Cadbury egg baking season! Y'all, mini Cadbury eggs are positively dangerous. It's a 1-pound bag of M&M's on flavor steroids, essentially. I knew I wanted to make a few recipes with these delicious little devils, and I figured what better way to start than with the world's chocolatiest cake? No bunny better… Continue reading Gluten Free Chocolate Fudge Cake

Spring has arrived, and now it's time to put fruit in all my desserts! Starting off real strong with these mini key lime cheesecakes. They are bursting with citrusy goodness and a nice buttery crust. Bonus- you don't have to juice 26 tiny limes to make these yummy babies happen either, thanks to some lime… Continue reading Key Lime Mini Cheesecakes

Jump to recipe and instructions The vast majority of us have spent the last few days with absolutely no idea what time it is, just experiencing the vague notion that the current time can't be the right time, can it? Nothing like daylight savings time to absolutely wreck your circadian rhythm if you're over the… Continue reading Baileys: Best Lucky Charm Ever

Score some major brownie points at your St. Patrick's Day party with a batch of chocolatey, boozy, mint brownies. Given that they're full of creme de menthe, Andes mint chips, and all sorts of chocolate, they're actually incredibly macro friendly and low cal...so you can celebrate the holiday with something magically delicious that isn't a… Continue reading Creme de Menthe Brownies

I have an affinity for boozy baking, and this always ramps up in March thanks to Saint Patrick's Day. I am regularly trying to fill all baked goods with Baileys, Guinness, creme de menthe...ya know, just trying to pour the luck of the Irish into every bite. Well, March has arrived, and I’m ready to… Continue reading Baileys Chocolate Pie

I love alliteration almost as much as I love these very berry blondie bars...they are soft, sweet, sour, and everything you could ever need in a secretly healthy treat with a whopping 12 grams of protein per serving. A berry delicious miracle! They are also gluten free and can be made vegan/dairy free if you… Continue reading Very Berry Blondie Bars
