Creamy Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas

What better way to kick off the week than with some bomb ass enchiladas. These are good guys. Like, really freaking good. I feel like some things in life were just invented to indulge in. Ya know? Some things were just meant for your inner fat lady to come out and sing. Like these enchiladas. These enchiladas are extra cheesey, extra creamy, a little spicy, and a whole lot of addicting. They are at their best served with fresh tomatoes, avocados, charred sweet corn, and lots of fresh cilantro.

Mediterranean-Style Toast

Mediterranean-Style Toast. Happy Tuesday ya’ll! Tuesday’s are currently the start to my work week and I can’t say I’m mad about it. If COVID has done any good in my life, it’s allowed me to have a three day weekend with my little nugget. This past weekend Oliver has been teething like no other, so we’ve laid low and enjoyed lots of snuggles, naps, and youtube videos. Dear lord, a lot of youtube videos. Does anyone else’s kid love to watch the same exact video on repeat for as long as you’ll let it slide? Like, really? You don’t wanna switch it up and watch Mickey Mouse or Puppy Dog Pals? You really just wanna watch the same exact thing over.. and over…and over again..?

The BEST Homemade Brownies

Happy Friday! How has everyone been holding up during this quarantine? Have you started going back to work? Things are slowly starting to open back up in Madison and people are excepting the new normal here. Businesses were just given the OK to open to the public and let me tell you, people are here for it. Streets have been converted into outside eatery’s, parks are slowly starting to open back up with new safety precautions in place, and bigger venues are able to start hosting smaller weddings. It’s a bit crazy living in this world right now. It’s already mid July and I haven’t gone anywhere on vacation and I’ve hardly seen any of my friends. Like, um, what?

Loaded Sweet Potatoes

Loaded Sweet Potatoes. Happy Friday ya’ll! I feel like the weekends are totally meant for the “treat yo self” mentality. You’re finally free of work (hopefully), you’ve made fun plans to do something, whether thats to see friends, have a night out or to just relax and enjoy life. Unfortunately for us going out and having fun, isn’t an option right now due to the global pandemic. We’ve had to become really creative in what we can do around the house. Puzzles, bingeing Netflix, painting, and of course LOTS of cooking.

The Best Strawberry Shortcakes

Happy Tuesday Ya’ll and a BIG “Happy belated Mother’s Day” to all you mamma’s out there! This was my second Mother’s Day and I felt extremely blessed. Being Oliver’s mamma is probably the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I couldn’t ask for a sweeter, cuter, cuddlier human being in my life. He is honestly so precious. Nothing else screams “Mother’s Day dessert” to me more then strawberry shortcakes. Maybe because it’s spring time and fruit is in season. Maybe it’s because they are so pretty and elegant. Or maybe it’s because it’s one of the only desserts my mom made us as kids that did not come out of a box. (Sorry mom) It’s a real wonder how on earth I ended up as a Pastry Chef.

Bacon, Egg & Cheddar Biscuit Sammie

Bacon, Egg & Cheddar Biscuit Sammy. Good Morning and happy Sunday ya’ll! I don’t know about you guys but I am totally missing going to brunch during this pandemic. Sometimes I truly feel there is nothing better than a Sunday morning brunch. Or a brunch on any day for that matter. Hungover? Brunch. Cute photo op? Brunch. Don’t know what time or day it is? BRUNCH. Is “Brunching” a hobby? Because if it is, it’s probably one of my favorites.

Sheet Pan Shortbread

Merry Christmas everyone! We’ve reached the end of 12 Days of Christmas and honestly, I’m a little sad about it. But! With every end there is a new beginning, right? The new year is just around the corner and I have so many good things in store for ya’ll. 2020 is going to be full of recipes, travel, baby/toddler navigating, DIY, and so much more.

Chocolate Espresso Cookies

Merry Christmas Eve! We are on day ELEVEN of 12 days of Christmas! SO crazy that is almost Christmas! Does anybody else get as excited as I do thinking about other people opening the gifts that you got for them? I swear I’m more excited for Oliver and Christian than I am myself. Like, Oliver doesn’t even understand the concept of opening gifts. I’m probably just an insane person. Every Christmas Eve my brother and I, and our significant others, travel down to my mom’s house and have a private little Christmas without the whole entire family there. We somehow made it a tradition to go out for Asian food every Christmas Eve and I’m not mad about it. I don’t know how this even started but what I do know is we all end up eating entirely too much and become wastes of space for a good hour.

Chewy Ginger Cookies

Happy Monday ya’ll! It’s day TEN of 12 Days of Cookies. That means only two days left! As we reach the end I wanted to share one of my favorites with you. Not just my favorite in these 12 days, but one of my favorite cookies I’ve ever eaten. And guys.. I’ve eaten a lot of cookies.

Orange Cocoa Nib Biscotti

Day nine! Holy cats! There’s only three days left of 12 Days of cookies! Christmas is just around the corner and it’s seriously warm out. Living in Wisconsin I’ve become accustom to -0 weather and lots and lots of snow come late December – February. But ya’ll, it’s almost 50 degrees out. It’s like I really, REALLY want to enjoy it, but in the back of my head I’m just thinking about how our planet is slowly dying. So, it’s super depressing.
