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).
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.
After years of hard work, my first book, So Much to Celebrate, has arrived! I couldn't be more proud of it or more eager for you to get you hands on it!
Thank you so much for following me on Instagram! Here is the Peppermint Cheesecake recipe I promised you. Be sure to print or save it as it will disappear after the holidays. It is a feature recipe in my new book So Much to Celebrate. If you like this recipe, you're going to love the book! Preorder it here! Merry Christmas!
I had the pleasure of going on Talk of the Town last Friday to bake my Soft-Baked Sugar Cookies. The holidays can be nuts, so I set out to make a sugar cookie recipe that is super simple and totally kid-friendly. These are not only fun to eat but a joy to make!
It's not Thanksgiving without sweet potatoes and this recipe takes the cake. It is simple and totally delicious with a smooth texture and crisp sweet crust.
Ya'll, Thanksgiving is less than a week away!! I wanted to bring you just a couple of my family's favorite Thanksgiving recipes so you can make them too.
Let's start with this Carrot Soufflé. It is like eating dessert with your turkey. No shame in this Thanksgiving game ...
The stockings are not quite hung by the chimney with care ... but I'm working on it! Christmas decorating started today and to get us in the mood, I turned on Elf, lit a fraiser fur candle, and whipped up a batch of these Chewy Molasses Cookies.
All my favorite things have collided—a feminine autumn tailgate with delicious food and sparkling wine set at a picturesque farm in Franklin featuring a vintage aqua truck and dreamy puppy dog. PLUS a give-a-away for my followers? Wow—this one's something special!
