I never enjoy seeing summer drift away. The shorter evenings, the cooler weather, and often times here – the rain. But there is so much I love about fall, too, so here we are, preparing for cooler weather, and making the most of it! One thing I don’t usually do much of in the summer is baking (too hot!), but this Ginger Carrot Bread not only screams sweater weather, but it can warm you up on a cool evening, or morning for breakfast!
We have found ourselves knee deep in peach season, friends! I’m so picky about peaches – as much as I love them, I will only enjoy them at the peak of the summer when you can smell the sweetness before even cutting into them. But if you find yourself with a few extra peaches, and want a different way to enjoy them, this Peach Jalapeno Jelly (pectin free!) will help extend peach season into the fall.
How could I come back here and not show up with some donuts? You may not know this, but when I first created this blog, my intention was to have it feature only donut recipes. So don’t mind me as I continue to sprinkle them in here and there… These Coconut Earl Grey Mochi donuts are gluten free, baked, can easily be dairy free, and truly easy to through together. Here is what makes them so special.
I love making donuts but for some reason if I’m craving a sweet treat I usually end up making cookies. This week however, a baked chocolate donut was all I wanted! I had all sorts of plans for the topping and glaze ranging from sprinkles to ganache, but I decided to try my hand at this beautiful marbling effect. These marble glazed chocolate donuts are enjoyable to look at and eat!
Amongst all of the holiday treats this year, this was one of the shining stars of my family’s Christmas weekend spent together. With two birthdays on Christmas Eve, my sister and I schemed up a little woodland themed celebration, and I was on dessert duty. Now let me tell you, this gluten free coconut dream cake with vegan buttercream frosting was heavenly and delicious to the very last crumb. I already can’t wait to make this again!
