These bars have that amazing cheesecake flavor without all the fuss. This super simple recipe produces smooth and creamy bars with the crunch of chocolate chip cookies. A marriage made in heaven.
Fall is my favorite season. Is there anything that screams autumn more than caramel-dipped apples?! I’m kicking it up a notch by rolling the warm caramel in crushed chocolate chip cookies and then topping it with melted chocolate.
When I was thinking about ice cream sandwiches, I really wanted to make the ultimate version that contained all my favorite things—salty pretzels, smooth Nutella, cool vanilla ice cream, and, of course, chocolate chip cookies. These are just plain fun and the perfect treat to keep stored in your freezer.
I don’t like to choose favorites, but this pie recipe is one of my best to-date. The caramel filling is simple to make (just make sure you stir it during the baking process to prevent burning), the bananas add a smooth buttery texture and, oh, did I mention the chocolate chip cookie crust? All my favorite flavors combined.
These little cookies are the softest peanut buttery pillows. They are finished off with milk chocolate and flaky sea salt, creating the perfect combination of flavors and textures.
I am such a fan or Yearly Co. and their beautiful jewelry. I was honored when they asked to come and photograph me in my garden wearing my beloved Yearly Co. stack of bangles. Here is snippets of the interview and the gorgeous images by Jessie Manos. Read the full article here.
This pie is NEXT LEVEL. Now, I have to be honest with you. It is a little time consuming to make (with the baking of the crust, and the cooling of the layers) but you won’t regret making it. It’s for sure a show-stopper.
Fall is practically upon us and it has me craving comfort food! This Tortellini Soup has all the feels of fall but is a little lighter since we are still in that pre-autumn heat.
It is super simple and comes together quickly, making dinner less than 30 minutes away.
I met Cortney of @cheesegal in the garden to do what we do best: eat, laugh, and drink champagne! I got to watch Cortney create one her Instagram famous boards (crudite this time) and it was truly like watching an artist at work.
It all started with a simple inspiration: a ripe summer strawberry. From there, Mary of Mrs. Southern Social and I collaborated to bring together an elegant, but whimsical, party that’s as sweet as summertime.
We’ve reached that point of the summer where it is just. too. hot. to do anything except be in the pool. Only thing better? Sipping on a fresh and easy cocktail while you do it.
You know I love a tradition; especially one that involves celebrating with friends! This year marks the third time I’ve teamed up with Mary from Mrs. Southern Social for a Fourth of July soiree! This year, we focused on easy DIY decor and recipes that will impress a crowd, even if you’re tight on time (or kitchen skills).
There is something unmatched about the first few weeks, or days really, of summer. The light hangs around longer, the intense heat hasn’t quite settled over Tennessee, and it feels like every evening is an opportunity to sit and linger around the dinner table a little longer.
An Old Fashioned is my drink of choice—warm spicy bourbon mixed with a little sugary sweetness. If my favorite cocktail married a chocolate chip cookie, this would be their love child.
These blondies are chewy, sweet, salty, and chocked full of chocolate. Brown butter and brown sugar add depth of flavor while bits of toffee and a layer of Nutella bring sweet familiarity. They are beyond my favorite bar cookie and it’s impossible not to find them sinfully delicious.
I couldn’t be more excited to team up with Crate&Barrel to create a sponsored Halloween table that’s not only cute and totally spooky but super simple to transition into the Thanksgiving holiday. Here’s my favorite images and inspo from our Halloween shoot as well as a recipe for the BEST EVER Salted Carmel Dipped Apples. Check back to see how I use the same Crate&Barrel items to create a super chic Thanksgiving tablescape.
I”ve been holding out on you … I’ve been making this banana bread twice a month for the last year and am just now sharing the recipe with you! I feel bad because it is SO GOOD!
It is the perfect banana bread—just the right texture (a mix of gooey and cakey), easy to make, and healthy (so you don’t feel so bad when you eat half the loaf right out of the oven).
These are not only the cutest Easter bunny cupcakes, but they are also the best coconut cupcakes ever. And I really mean it.
It's already been a crazy spring. I have a newborn baby, a new born book, and a book/media tour underway. This girl needs a drink! Luckily, Seersucker Gin graciously sent me a bottle of their liquor and I happily got to work to create a perfect springtime cocktail that is light and fresh and perfect for the warmer days ahead.
