At our house the party never stops, and Monday we shared our recipe for my wife’s Cherry Chocolate cake she picked. Today I’ll be sharing my pick – Blueberry Lemon!

Lemon and any kind of berry is my favorite flavor combination! Light yet sooooo sweet! This one comes with a tangy glaze that goes over it hot, sinking into the cake and making it extra moist!

Its party time! Our family’s birthdays all fall within a week of each other, so we hold one big combined get together. To keep from having to pick one cake flavor we all like, this year we made a few different mini bundts so everyone could pick what they’d like most.

My wife loves cherries and chocolate, so we went with a classic chocolate cake filled with chocolate chips and sweet fruit. Its very rich, so its best paired with some simple vanilla ice cream.

This cake is easier than it seems to throw together, and everyone will rave thinking that you spend hours on it! If you prefer, you can always put this recipe in a regular sized bundt, though baking times will vary.

You know that feeling…that feeling when you bite into someone’s pie and you can just tell they made their own pie crust. Its flaky, its buttery, and its got that rustic texture and taste you just can’t get from store bought crust.

The pie crust recipe we’ve come to depend upon is so easy! When we first used it, we were making Banana Cream Pie, and it we succeeded on our first try! After hearing for years that pie crust is hard and super easy to mess up, we were delighted!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

We have so much to be grateful for this year! Though we’ve had our ups and our downs, we are thankful for the opportunities that have come our way and we are so blessed. Thank you to everyone who has supported us in this blogging journey, and we hope to keep growing…

And now that I’m done with the sappy stuff, lets talk PIE!

No Thanksgiving feast is complete without some indulgent dessert! Banana Cream Pie was Lexi’s grandpa’s favorite, and now that he and her grandma have passed it helps her feel close to them this time of year.

Though this pie may seem a little labor intensive from the outside, it comes together really easily. Its totally worth it too when you can tell people its been made from scratch!

Don’t forget to come back soon for our homemade pie crust recipe! So easy you’ll nail it on your first try!

White Chocolate and Cranberry Cookies

Thanksgiving is in one week! One of my favorite parts of our huge feast is the cranberry sauce! Cranberries are so tangy and delicious! I love pairing them with things that are super sweet…like white chocolate perhaps?

These cookies follow the usual base we use, but then we mix in white chocolate chips and craisins for a cookie that tastes indulgent but light at the same time! You can snack on these any time and not feel guilty… well not too guilty that is! (Calories don’t count during the holidays, right?!)

Chocolate Chip Cookies

The holidays are almost here! Some of our favorite holiday memories revolve around gathering in the kitchen as a family and making treats!

This classic is great year round! Everyone loves a simple chocolate chip cookie! We found a great base dough to work with, and adding chocolate chips was the first step we took in experimenting with it.

Its a must to use semi-sweet chocolate chips. Though milk chocolate chips are delicious, adding them to this dough makes the cookies way too sweet. If that is what you love, then by all means substitute them!

Ah cheesecake – it can be so right, or go so wrong! This was our first foray into homemade cheesecake, and I think it was a great success!

I had a coworker moving departments, so we decided to throw him a farewell potluck. This is the dessert I brought. I had to make sure to bring home a piece for my wife, because she said she’d kill me if I didn’t. Luckily I was able to bring back a slice for her to try.

Everyone loved this flavor combination! You can’t go wrong with blueberries and lemon, and this cheesecake is proof! The crust also contains a surprising ingredient that shows this desserts deep Southern roots – corn meal. I’ve been seeing blueberry and sweet corn dessert recipes pop up here and there, and this is a tasty trend I can definitely get behind!

Halloween is only 2 weeks away!!

With that in mind, I’m sure you have a Halloween party or two coming up, and you’ll need something to bring! May I suggest this festive twist on the classic monster cookie?

Some of you may be asking what a monster cookie is. If you’ve ever had a cookie with M&Ms in it, then you’ve had one! Our version features delicious Reese’s Pieces in place of the classic chocolate candies. It gives them a peanut buttery bite in festive brown, orange, and yellow!

If you have a favorite cookie base, simply mix in the Reese’s pieces. If not, we’ve got a new one we’ve been testing this season that is divine! So simple, and easy to change up!

With the colder weather finally here, we’ve been baking up a storm. What cookie recipe do you want to see in the future? Comment below!

As summer winds down, I can’t help but feel a little sad. Though I can’t wait for the cooler temps, football season, and beautiful autumn leaves, I will definitely miss some parts of the summer.

Hanging out on our patio with my wife watching our son play in the backyard while sipping on some lemonade will be one of those things I’ll miss most. Of course I can sip on lemonade whenever I want – or I can up the ante and make these delicious lemon bars!

This simple dessert is super easy to make, and its made using ingredients most people keep on hand – so they are cheap!

They are ultra tangy and tart with just the right amount of sweet balance blended in that you won’t be able to get enough of them. They’re perfect for your little one’s fundraiser bake sale or to bring to the next family party.

Of course if you want something MUCH sweeter, you should check out our White Chocolate Cranberry Blondies!

She decided to lean a little fancier and look for something that was easy but wouldn’t taste like it.

Cue the deliciousness that are these super sweet blondies!

Soft with bits of crunch, super sweet paired with the tang of cranberries and orange zest, you’ll please everyone with this bar!
