Welcome back, my friends! Spring cleaning is in full effect over here and it just feels so good to purge stuff you don’t use anymore. I feel like a tornado going through these rooms. Clearing out clothes, decorations, home decor, and the kitchen. Do you spring clean your entire house too or just your clothes?

This Orange Coffee Cake recipe is sponsored by Florida Orange Juice. All opinions are 100% my own.

How have you been taking a break lately? I’ve been prioritizing carving out some time in my week to enjoy something that brings me joy. For me, that is baking and enjoying a new recipe. For my husband, it is hiking and being alone in nature. Regardless of what you do, I hope you are carving time out to take a break.

I am sharing a new recipe with you to encourage you to take some time for yourself as I am sure we are baking enthusiasts! This Orange Coffee Cake with chocolate chunks is inspired by Florida Orange Juice in celebration of National OJ Day, which is today! Bursting with orange flavors and dark chocolate, it is refreshing and yet indulgent.

Hello friends! I have a new holiday recipe for you. This cranberry orange cheesecake is a beautiful and delicious centerpiece perfect for all your holiday festivities. 

Cheesecake is a huge part of my holiday entertaining. I am not sure how that happened but every year, I crave a creamy, decadent slice of cheesecake full of the flavors of the season. My Peppermint White Chocolate cheesecake is always a favorite this time of the year. However, I’ve been meaning to create a new one and it finally is happening.

Hi friends, Happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a good week since we last spoke. I traveled to California last week, meeting with some blogger friends and visiting with one of my besties from graduate school. Even though the weather was typical California winter, it was still better than what I have here at home and I enjoyed a barefoot stroll or two on the beach on a nice 60 degrees day. Of course, I came back to two feet of snow and a reminder that I live in New York.

Enough weather small talk as I am super excited to share this special cake with you today. This orange chiffon cake with swirls of pistachio and cardamon is one of the best cakes I’ve tried recently.

Happy New Year friends!

I know we are already in February but this is my first recipe of the year.  A pink champagne cake that is worth starting the year with and worth celebrating any milestone as it is epic and beautiful.

How’s your year going so far? I hope well! I can’t believe we are already done with the first month of the year. I took January off the blog to recharge and re-energize for an exciting year to come. I spent a lot of time thinking about this wonderful space, reflecting on the community we have built and brainstorming ways to incorporate some of what you’ve asked for. I have a lot of ideas on how to continue bringing you the classic recipes you love with exciting twists for your kitchen explorations. Stay tuned for more!!
