This simple, homey caramel applesauce cake is the ultimate fall dessert! With a new baby due in a few short months, I've officially entered the freezer-stocking mode of pregnancy. All I want to do is make soup and bake things and then squirrel them away for later. So with a batch of homemade ...
Blueberry Gingerbread
This blueberry gingerbread is the perfect dessert for late summer or early fall. Moist, tender cake, laced with warm spices and bursting with juicy fruit! Hi! We just got back from a week's vacation in Vermont, which was so much fun! We visited old friends, swam in lakes, rode many ...
Nectarine Skillet Cake
This simple, rustic skillet cake is bursting with juicy ripe nectarines. It's the perfect simple, summer dessert--or breakfast! One of my favorite places to go with Owen on a lazy weekend afternoon is our local fruit and vegetable stand. It's actually quite large, really more of a market, and ...
Salted Pistachio Chocolate Chunk Ricotta Cake
This moist, tender ricotta cake is loaded with dark chocolate chunks and topped with pistachio-oatmeal-brown sugar crumbles. It's perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert! I know I just posted s'mores bars on Monday, and now I'm back with another dessert--also with chocolate, no less. It's a ...
Marble Rye Pound Cake
What if a marble pound cake and a marble rye got married? Deep thoughts, guys. Last week, I was emailing with my friend Meredith about home decorating. She has such a great sense of style, and I...don't. I have a very specific creative skill set, and that is food. Outside of the kitchen, I'm at ...

Pumpkin Spice Angel Food Cake with Coffee Glaze
My baby is one year old today! No, I don't mean this guy (who will be three next month). I mean this right here—my blog. Looking back I can't believe how much it has grown and changed. Honestly, when I hit publish on my first post I didn't know if I would keep at it. I mean, haven't we all started ...
Gluten-Free Banana Sprinkles Skillet Cookie
Toddlers = overripe bananas, amiright? With an almost three-year-old in the house, bananas are a staple in our kitchen. Owen loves them, but he can never finish an entire bunch before they threaten to go bad. What to do? Bake, obviously. Since this is my first post on my new blog (check ...
Whole Wheat Dairy-Free Blackberry Cake
I have a real problem with cakes like this one. I tend to store them on the counter, with a butter knife leaning against the plate, so that it's all too easy to slice off just a tiny piece I swear whenever I walk past. You know, just to even out the edges. At least in this case it's relatively ...
Skinny Vegan Chocolate Cake
My very first recipe testing job was for The Veselka Cookbook. One summer, 125 Ukrainian recipes. You guys, I made so. many. perogies. And also five kinds of borscht. It was crazy and stressful and amazing, and I was so proud of myself (and stuffed) when I was done. To celebrate, naturally I baked a ...
