Nothing beats the added flavor and texture contrast of a gooey filling inside a perfectly crisp, chewy cookie. This chocolaty recipe is one of my absolute favorites! The cookie itself is made from a rich chocolate dough that is studded with semisweet chocolate chips throughout. The filling is made from melted chocolate and peanut butter…
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cake Bars
Autumnal pumpkin, spices, and chocolate pair beautifully together in a variety of recipes. These soft and chewy bars are packed with chocolate chips on the inside and velvety melted chocolate on top. They are perfectly spiced, and really are a cross between a cookie bar and a snack cake. These cookies were my inspiration for…
Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies
I recently looked back at some of my earlier blog posts and saw that my very first post was about chocolate chip cookies. As they have been one of my most tested recipes dating back to when I first started to bake (not to mention one of my all-time favorite desserts), I wanted to share…
Double Chocolate Banana Muffins
It is a puzzling time in the world right now, as COVID-19 has inflicted a great deal of stress and sadness, and turned our day-to-day lifestyles upside down. My heart goes out to all of those directly affected by the virus, as well as everyone who is struggling financially and/or emotionally. There isn’t much that…

It’s been a while since I have written a proper blog post! There have been a lot of hectic and exciting things going on in my personal life lately, and I have let my busy schedule get the best of me. It’s times like these, especially, that I opt for quick and easy meals that…

Although I could be (and often am) very happy eating the combination off of a spoon, I also enjoy incorporating it into simple and nutritious recipes. I believe that the…
Chewy Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookies
For as long as I can remember, the fall has always been my absolute favorite season. The beauty of nature during this time is simply incredible, from the vibrant foliage to the crisp air, to the abundance of incredible seasonal foods that I just cannot get enough of. My greatest fall food obsession of all…
Vegan Chocolate Avocado Mousse
I have always been a huge chocolate lover, as well as a lover of all things creamy. Although I generally favor baked desserts, there is plenty of room in my heart for any and every form of chocolate. Today I am sharing my current favorite recipe for vegan chocolate mousse. The first time I made this,…
Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter
Those who know me well are very well aware of my obsession with chocolate and peanut butter, preferably served together. About six years ago (I can’t believe how time flies!) my lovely friend, Meghan, introduced me to a jar of dark chocolate peanut butter, and it was love at first bite. It quickly became one…
Flourless Chocolate-Dipped Cookies
Although there are many holiday traditions that I love, my absolute favorite has to be making holiday cookies. As a child, helping my mom make Christmas cookies was as exciting to me as Christmas itself (we even made special Christmas cookie aprons to wear)! Out of all the cookies we would make, my favorite were always the classic peanut…
