Happy Sunday my friends! 

I wanted to switch it up with some yummy bread! This recipe is so easy! 
No knead 
Rosemary and sea salt infused 

Can you say, amazing! 

Perfect for breakfast, lunch, dinner or even a snack with some wonderful meats and cheeses. Charcuterie is my weakness ☺️

Good morning! ⁠

Sunday is the day we slow down and enjoy the simple things in life. Sunday is for family. So why not change up the traditional breakfast and try something a little more healthy. Not to mention it is absolutely scrumptious!⁠
⁠
Blueberry smoothie with yummy agave nectar, blueberries, banana and oats. It can even be made dairy free. Just use silk dairy free yogurt! I already included almond milk into this smoothie (which is my favorite milk for smoothies). ⁠
⁠
Kids will love it and it is so good for them!⁠

HAPPY MONDAY!⁠
⁠
You know what that means, it is #cupcakemondays ⁠
Monday is the day we always dread. The first day of a new work week and end of a relaxing weekend. ⁠
⁠
Why not spice up your Monday with some dessert? This Pina Colada Cupcakes. Leave the stress of work behind and have these adult style cupcakes. It's always five O clock somewhere right? ⁠
⁠
Coconut and fresh pineapple are a perfect combination in these decadent sweets. Cream cheese frosting is so savory and pairs perfect with the cake base. ⁠

Are you treating yourself today?⁠

As we enter the last week of Black History Month, I am sharing with you one of my favorite African side dishes, Fried Plantains with Hot Pepper Sauce. Plantains are a staple in many African cultures (and many others around the world) and it was one of the first things I learned to cook. It's classic comfort food for me! Fried with a side of hot pepper sauce to turn on the heat!! ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
It was also one of the first things my kids had for solids in their baby stage. For a while there my youngest didn't seem to enjoy it and we were all worried she would have to get kicked out of the family 😂. Luckily she came to her senses and now LOVES them! ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
You can find the recipe link below where I walk you through how to fry plantains (if it's new to you!). The pepper sauce is SPICY 🥵 but if that is not your jam, you can skip the hot peppers. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠

Macarons are a dessert that intimidate a lot of people. Trust me, it is not as hard as you might think! 

These macarons are lavender honey! Two of the best ingredients in life! Perfect for a girls night or as a gift to someone special. 

Within the last year our lives have been changed in so many ways. A big one is the distance we have all had to experience from loved one.  Nothing says “I’m thinking of you” like a sweet treat.  Make this recipe and send to a friend or family member. Or just enjoy on the couch with a glass of wine.  Bottom line is that there are so many reasons you need to try these.

Have you experienced the deliciousness of macarons yet?!

TGIF! Who else is ready for the weekend?! ⁠
⁠
Even with two little one's I do a lot of my baking on weekends. Creating delicious treats while enjoying time with my family is something I always treasure.⁠
⁠
Since it is going to be another cold and snowy day it is the best time to bake my Browned Butter Meyer Lemon Cake.  Moist and flaky cake with mouthwatering lemon flavor. Did I mentioned it has browned butter?! Browning your butter takes it to a whole new level.  I baked mine in a loaf pan but you can make it in a bundt pan too. ⁠

If you've been around here for more than one minute, you know I love coconut. It is one of my favorite flavors and I find ways to incorporate it into everything. ⁠It probably has to do with the fact that I grew up eating coconut in all forms and shapes in Sierra Leone. 
⁠
Here's my go-to coconut bundt cake, in case you need a mid week treat. It's the perfect amount of sweet, chewy and deliciousness!! If you are a coconut fan, then you will love this. ⁠if you are not a coconut fan, then this is still a great base bundt recipe. You can skip the coconut in it.

Happy Valentine’s Day!! Sending you love today and everyday! I hope you were able to spread some love to those in your life. ❤️

For the past 4 years, my husband gifts me a Mommy and me Valentine’s Day mini shoot and it’s the best present! The only caveat is that I have no say in any of it. I’ll skip the flowers and chocolate gladly for these memories. Swipe to see the past years (2020, 2019, 2018).

Happy Wednesday everyone! I did a poll this morning to see what type of tasty treats are your favorite and brownies won! Most of us have wonderful memories growing up baking brownies with family. Everyone’s favorite part was the spoon with the delicious batter on it. Now it’s our turn to bake with our kids and why not change it up a bit? These amazing brownies have a salted caramel frosting AND extra caramel drizzle on top. If you are a caramel lover these are FOR YOU!

Happy #CupcakeMondays friends! Everyone loves a good before and after. These white chocolate rose cupcakes are from EIGHT years ago but they are a favorite!! So I remade them recently and gave them a glow up. Swipe to see the before picture (it was apparently cool to put text on images??). 

Fluffy vanilla cupcakes are infused with floral rose water and topped with silky white chocolate Swiss meringue buttercream. They are so good! Just don’t forget the flowers if you are making these for your Valentine.
