Greetings from THE BEACH! We are currently sitting pretty in the Outer Banks. We got here Sunday and we are heading back home in 2 days. It’s been a WONDERFUL week and the kids have done amazingly well, so that has made life even better (seriously, shoutout to both of them for being gems on…
No Bake Peanut Butter Pie
Hellooooo, beautiful peanut butter slice! I see you, with my googly heart eyes. This is definitely a Friday-before-the-long-weekend recipe, don’t you think? No bake? Chocolate and peanut butter? Perfectly light enough for a BBQ dessert but not lacking flavor or depth in the least? Yes, this is a Friday-before-the-long-weekend recipe INDEED. So grab your peanut…
Strawberry Lemonade Quick Bread
FRIENDS! So many apologies for my absence. It’s been an ENTIRE MONTH since my last post, which was April’s Bread of The Month recipe. And here we are– May’s BOTM sitting pretty in all its quick bread glory. But before we get to that, let me tell you about this last month and why I’ve…
Funfetti Cinnamon Rolls + GIVEAWAY
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…
Chocolate Covered Easter Eggs (4 Different Fillings)
If there is one thing I would love for you to try this Easter, because I know you’ll master it, love it, be beaming with pride over doing it yourself, and impress the crap out of your Easter guests, it’s these adorable buttercreams. Oh, and this Italian anise bread from last year (OG from…
Classic Banana Bread
It is high time I share this recipe with you, friends. HIGH TIME. It’s been in my kitchen for years, baked dozens of times, but I have yet to share it with you, at least in its simplest form. I mentioned this recipe last year when I posted banana nut muffins, and a year later,…
Guinness Cupcakes
If you’ve ever wondered what St. Patrick’s Day dessert dreams are made of, today is the day to find out. With St. Patrick’s Day just around the weekend corner, I must do this amazingness to you on the Friday before so as not to tease you too long before you’re able to make them. As…
Extra Batter
I’m trying something new here at Fresh April Flours. 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…
