It absolutely blows my mind that I’m sitting here typing in words that today is Fresh April Flours’ 5th birthday. It’s been five whole years since I first hit “publish” on my blog (hey there, DeAngelis Family Easter Pizza— remade and renamed and rephotographed Italian anise bread in 2018), and so much has changed since…
Ice & Fire (Game of Thrones) Cookies
MY FRIENDS. Here we are, a mere 4 days before the premiere of the long-awaited final season of (seemingly) everyone’s favorite show. It’s been what feels like forever since we last saw our fantasy friends, and just to give you an idea of HOW long it’s actually been… Season 7 of Game of Thrones ended…

Over the last couple of years, pretty much since I had my first son (pictured above), I’ve found myself increasingly interested in the non-recipe posts that some of the bloggers I follow regularly post. Some do them weekly, some do them a little more sporadically, but I…
Mardi Gras King Cake
Today’s recipe is brought to you by super persistent coworkers. Like, the most persistent coworkers can be to pressure you into baking something that is kind of a big deal and is not taken lightly around its consumers. This, my friends, is a tradition that goes back several years where I work– are you familiar…
Bacon Wrapped Dates with Goat Cheese
I’m going to be up front in saying… Will you still help me swoon over this recipe, despite it being one of the ugliest things I’ve ever had to photograph?? YIKES. But for real, sometimes the hardest part of this job is making absolutely delicious food LOOK as pretty in pictures as it tastes. Some…
