I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, something I really love about this whole blogging gig is that I can help you (my dear readers ????) find the best recipes for something specific or recreating something you love but you maybe don’t know how or where to start it. That’s part of my job! I’m…

Yellow Layer Cake with Chocolate Buttercream
I spoke briefly about my resolve to start getting some cake recipes up on the blog, and here’s your first installment. I’m going to try my very very hardest to bring you one cake per month (#fafcakeofthemonth) for the rest of 2017. This means 12 different cakes, and (I’m hoping) 12 different frostings. The idea is that you’ll have an endless…
Blueberry Muffins
I told you I would likely be riding the muffin train for awhile, and here we are. Still on board. Still the engineer. No end in sight. I actually whipped these blueberry muffins up on a whim last week for the birthday boy. I snapped some photos in case they wound up being super tasty, and…
Peach Almond Streusel Muffins
Well, it’s the return of my beloved streusel topping, and this time, I’ve paired it with fresh, juicy peaches. And toasty almonds. On top of moist and tender peach muffins. Breakfast? Dessert?

It was something I decided on Saturday morning that I needed to remedy by the close of the…
Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Bread
Peanut butter and chocolate. Chocolate and peanut butter. The perfect combination. A utopian match made in flavor heaven. Don’t you agree? Of course you do. You all went absolutely bananas for this on Pinterest AND made it one of my top recipes of 2014 (also recently featured on Delish.com)! And rightfully so… When I asked you…
Baked Red Velvet Donuts
I’ve brought you baked donuts before, and they were delicious (have you made them?), but this particular baked donut is about to blow your mind because of two simple words… Red. Velvet. Are you a red velvet fan? I hope so, because this is not the only red velvet treat I’ll be sharing with you…
Chocolate Layer Cake
You need a go-to chocolate cake in your life. That no fail, one bowl, throw it together, doesn’t-need-to-have-room-temperature-ingredients recipe that you can rely on when you’re feeling down about your cake baking skills and need a reminder that not all cakes are created equal and out to make your cake baking life miserable. Oh, just…
