Read MoreThis recipe is dedicated to my Nana. She passed away this week and was the matriarch of the family who also had a knack for baking. She was the original artist who painted huge watercolors that were not only beautiful but full of life.
One of her favorite treats was chocolate. If it had chocolate in it she was a fan. So with this time of year it was appropriate to not only make a pumpkin treat but have it mixed with chocolate because Nana loved it so much. This recipe is a no bake and takes less than fifteen minutes from start to finish.
Read MoreMost people have had rice crispy treats at some point in their lives. The heavenly crunch of the cereal with the sticky sweet marshmallows combined in a perfect blend. But if gluten, dairy, or nuts aren’t safe then these treats are less than ideal. Well wait no more…

Read MoreWhen I was growing up I remember always having these cake-y cookies whenever we had extended family get togethers. Usually they were held at my grandparents house on the North Shore and one of the family would pick up Black and Whites from a Jewish deli/bakery near Boston. I didn’t know they were called Black and White Cookies until after college and that they aren’t a Jewish thing but a New York staple!
Read MoreThis treat is a combo of two of my favorite desserts I have created over the years. My Cecelia named them BB Treats- Blondies and Brownies together. They are decadent and truly addicting! The only hard part about making them is waiting for them to cool while they make the whole house smell so good.
Read MoreWith this whole social distancing all I want are comfort foods or foods I grew up loving. One of those desserts is rice pudding. I don’t know about you but there is something so warm and inviting, eating something so rich and creamy.
Read MoreLinzer cookies are something that I remember eating in my grandparents’ kitchen as a child. They always seemed to have tins of cookies and Linzer cookies were one of my favorites with that delicious combo of raspberry jam and buttery cookies.
Read MoreAs we are going into our fifth week of social distancing we are starting to get into a rhythm. We have virtual schooling, messaging and video calling friends, lots of outside time when the weather is favorable. Yet our meals have been mostly normal except our poor Cecelia had a nasty accident on the school playground right before schools were shut down…
Read MoreThese brownies should be illegal because not only are they fudgy, chocolatey, but also vegan top ten (yes you heard that right!) allergen free.
Read MoreWhen you think of vegan cupcakes most people think chocolate. This is because most vanilla cupcakes just aren’t quite right when you change or substitute an ingredient. It’s either too dry, flavorless, or grainy. In other words, it’s not great, so it’s not worth eating. Well that is a thing of the past
Read MoreIt has come to my attention that I had a great variety of tasty baked donuts but I was missing one of the best ones around- chocolate! With my Cecelia being the chocoholic, that she is, this was a huge misstep for me.
Read MoreMy Cecelia is a chocoholic it seems. She loves everything she can get her hands on, as long as it’s nut free, that’s chocolate.

Read MorePie! Who doesn’t think of pies when the holidays are in full swing? One of my family’s favorites is my blueberry crumble pie. Maybe it’s because I only make it once a year or that I make it with love but whatever the reason people can’t say enough good things about it. So what better way to spread the holiday cheer than to share this recipe with you?
Read MorePumpkin is the flavor of the month of November in my opinion so everything that I bake probably has pumpkin in it!
This super easy recipe is gluten free, vegan, and top eight allergen free. But don’t that fool you because it’s delicious.
Read MoreNovember is here and it’s officially feeling like pumpkin weather! Yes, I may have taken a little longer to jump on the pumpkin spice bandwagon this year but seriously there were so many fabulous apple desserts I needed to get through first before I could happily move onto the next big flavor.
