Here’s my favorite, easy peasy way to make candied baby carrots for holidays, dinner parties, potlucks, and pretty much any gathering you can think of.

easy 5 ingredient cream soda coconut cake

If you’re looking for an easy coconut cake recipe, this is the recipe for you. I love using cans of soda for easy cakes! I’ve made a couple other ones, and they always turn out super moist and perfect. I used 7-Up for this delicious, patriotic, flag cake… and Coca Cola for this super simple…

french toast casserole

Mmmmm… French toast! French toast is so good and the perfect addition to weekend brunch. Honestly though, I don’t usually feel like making it first thing it the morning so I hardly ever make it. And then I discovered French toast casserole. French toast casserole is a total game changer. You can make it the…

hot cross buns

Make up a batch of these delicious, perfectly spiced, vegan hot cross buns. Allergen free! Cruelty free! And so, so good! They’re light, fluffy, and the perfect addition to your Easter menu.

Throughout the baking process the marshmallow that is placed in the center of the roll disappears, leaving the roll like an empty tomb. Pretty neat, huh? Simplify the Easter story for…

You can whip up a batch in no time, and choose a flavor that will perfectly accompany whatever you are eating. We had these with chili and…

celebrations ~ a scenes post

Over the last few months I’ve gone through a sort of renewal in my personal life that’s hard to explain. Like I’m waking up. Without getting to philosophical (and weird) I guess I’ll just say that it all started when I gave up meat. I swear I won’t get “preachy” about how much this has…

My favorite recipe for carrot cake can be found in a little cookbook called “Cooking With Kenny Rogers.” It’s a collection of yummy recipes featuring Dole pineapple. Dole and Kenny collaborated to make this fun cookbook, and every recipe I’ve tried so far has been delicious! This cake is amazingly rich, moist, and delicious. It’s…
