I’ve never really met anyone who doesn’t love M&Ms or chocolate chip cookies, so this combo is a classic winner. I’m pretty religious about only ever serving chewy cookies (I just never understood crunchy cookies personally)–so, not over baking these is essential so that they stay nice and soft. I also love the idea of […]

We live in a world of great challenge and disagreement right now but at least we can all agree that everything is good about pumpkin and caramel right? Life’s simple pleasures are as important as ever to responsibly indulge in. These gooey and delicious squares are absolute perfection for Thanksgiving or anytime of the year […]

I love everything that my friend Pamela Salzman creates – I just wish we lived closer so we could film more Instagram recipes together! I also love anything that mimics the flavors of pizza without the loaded heaviness and carbs, so when Pamela posted this I knew I had to share it with you. These are […]

Made with just cauliflower, seasoning and cheese, these come out so crispy and flavorful I’d probably recommend doubling the recipe.

A few years ago my friend Susi Dokken taught me how to make her melt-in-your-mouth gluten-free plum torte. So, when I had summer peaches laying around I just swapped the plums for the peaches and dare I say… I might be in love with this peach cake even more?? Thanks to a lovely amount of […]

As a sun lover and outdoor enthusiast, I’ve always cherished the warm embrace of the sun’s rays on my skin. I was that girl baking in a bikini on the beach, addicted to the tan lines and my skins “healthy” glow. However, my perspective on sun exposure took a significant turn in my 40s when […]
