Garlic Brown Butter Mashed Potatoes

Loaded Baked Potato Soup

It's finally that day - that first day back at work! I've been both dreading it and looking forward to it the past couple weeks. I've been craving the mental exercise and social interaction I get at work but hating the idea of losing out on morning cuddles with my baby son, hating the idea [...]

These kids don’t mess around. One bag of cacao chips and one espresso grinder makes beautiful chocolate powder to bake with! 🧁❤️
More cupcake shenanigans? Why, sure! Marmalade filled chocolate cupcakes with a light, fluffy, and subtly orange frosting and candied orange slices on top! ❤️🧁
Caramel fudge filled chocolate cupcakes with salted caramel buttercream and chocolate crumbles on top. Yum and yum!! 🧁❤️
Anyone else need some of these German chocolate cupcakes in their lives right now? The kids making these for their project made everything in each of the cupcakes from scratch. I’m in awe. 🧁❤️
I spent today working on one of the most creative collaborations I’ve done in a long time. Four teenagers, one marketing class project, about 60 cupcakes, and a ton of fun!! Will be posting some of the highlights of their work soon, and hopefully stealing some of the recipes to recreate myself! 🧁
Either trying to figure out where to start decorating or still trying to figure out how this giant tree got in his house 🎄❤️
Hunting for a tree at @silverbrooknurseryy on a gorgeous and brisk morning 🎄❤️
It is c-o-l-d outside today! The perfect morning for a nice hot coffee with a splash of chocolate before starting the day. Happy Friday!! ☕️
