A staple for Birthday gatherings in the 70’s and 80’s this cake was the moist, chocolatey go-to large cake for our family. Usually paired with homemade vanilla ice cream - this could be the most nostalgic recipe I use.

Our family lovingly refers to this as the Corn of Contention - because if a Holiday meal is happening and this is NOT on the menu…people get angry. So, this sweet casserole is a great addition to ham, turkey, beef and is topped with savory bacon to give that salty flavor to compliment the sweet corn. A new holiday menu staple for your family!

Super creamy and cheesy - a little kick from some cayenne pepper - and you’ve got the perfect hot side dish for any meal!

If I know one thing, it’s that our Amish friends know their way around some chicken. This family-favorite recipe results in spicy and juicy chicken, and usually yields some leftovers for sandwiches the next day - win win!

Using pantry staples this is a great recipe to make on a cold day - and you can make a large batch to put some back away in the freezer or share with another family! This recipe can be as spicy as you want by using different peppers or cheeses.

A gooey brownie bottom that is topped with a crispy and chewy chocolate chip cookie. The perfect combination of sweet and salty, gooey and chewy - this recipe makes a sheet pan size amount which can give at least 18 servings or up to 36 so it’s great when you need dessert for a crowd. Topped with flaky sea salt for the balance of sweet, salty and chocolate. Just add some soft serve and you’ve got a fabulous dessert for a large gathering!

This is one of my favorite “secret” ingredients to add to my cookie recipes when I want to ramp up the rich, buttery notes of a cookie. I add the crumble in when I am combining fats and sugars. I use it in my chocolate chip, snickerdoodles, peanut butter cookies - any recipe that I want to have a “bakery” flavor profile.

This is my favorite recipe for the classic chocolate chip cookie. It’s butter forward, crisp on the outside, soft and chewy inside and jammed with mini semi-sweet morsels. These make great treats for your family, gifts for friends or just a little indulgent dessert for yourself.

This vanilla bean paste is a great way to use your extracted vanilla bean pods - so you’re getting TWICE the vanilla out of the beans! Win Win!
