Raspberry Crumb Cake

Happy 4th of July week! We love the 4th of July festivities; except when the dog panic ensues over the fireworks of course :(. I grew up boating with my family every 4th of July and each year I couldn’t wait for the fun it would bring. We would grab some friends and fireworks, anchor our boat to Sugar Island in Lake Erie, then BBQ and camp out for long weekends. Since Aaron and I got together, I’ve joined in on his tradition of a long weekend in Frankfort with friends and family filled with bonfires and a trip down the Platte river on a kayak. I’m grateful for new and old traditions that create lasting memories and I’m looking forward to this years adventures. ❤  Continue reading “Raspberry Crumb Cake” →

Classic Key Lime Pie

Happy Sunday friends! It’s sure feeling like summer here in Chicago (and Michigan)! Perfect weather for my favorite summer dessert pie – Key Lime pie. I don’t think I’ve met anyone who doesn’t like Key Lime pie?!

This lucky little pie was made with love to share <3. Our dear friends recently got engaged, so yesterday we celebrated their future together sharing in good company, laughter and Key Lime pie.

I love Martha Stewarts Key Lime pie recipe below and I highly recommend you give it a try! Continue reading “Classic Key Lime Pie” →

Coconut, Chocolate-Chip Scones (Gluten-Free)

Happy Monday, I hope your week is off to a good start! This morning I had a major craving for Chocolate Chip Scones which is my favorite breakfast treat but something I don’t have often. For years I’ve had all sorts of silly digestion problems that a healthier diet has made a big difference on (more organic foods, less Gluten/processed junk, etc.), so sometimes it’s nice to toss in a Gluten-free baking recipe here and there for good measure. 🙂 Continue reading “Coconut, Chocolate-Chip Scones (Gluten-Free)” →

Fresh Mint-Chip Ice Cream

I had so much fun making the Rosemary Olive Oil Ice Cream last time that I couldn’t wait to try some more recipes! Yesterday it was a beautiful day and I was sitting out in the grass with Zoey and our new foster dog, Kiwi, when I looked over at my garden and noticed how much mint I had growing all over the place… and I mean all over the place, it spreads like crazy lol. I once had it in a garden bed but moved it to a planter, however now it pops up in the garden bed all the time still and all throughout our grass but I kinda love it haha. It inspired me to make a fresh, homemade mint-chip ice cream. Continue reading “Fresh Mint-Chip Ice Cream” →

Salted Caramel Macarons Dipped in Chocolate & Praline Crumble

Mom’s here for a fun-filled Mother’s Day weekend in Chicago and I couldn’t be more happy to have her here! We walked around in Lincoln Park this afternoon and had lunch together. When we left the restaurant, she caught notice of a French Macaron shop, so I asked if she’d be interested in making them ourselves this afternoon instead – so that’s what we did! We made French Macarons filled with salted caramel buttercream that we dipped in dark chocolate, then dipped in praline crumble – YUM, this was seriously so good!!
