You know what I love about American food culture? We’re are convinced that the best kind of food is STUFFED. For example: baked potatoes are better stuffed with sour cream & bacon. Pizza crust is better stuffed with cheese. I feel like I should also mention the monstrosity of a “turducken” was invented here. It’sContinue reading “Peanut Butter-Stuffed Chocolate Cookies”

Carrot Cake
You know what I like my cake served with? A hearty serving of vegetables. I’m just kidding, that sounds like a nightmare. I shouldn’t admit this, but I usually keep veggies out of my cooking. I eat them raw, but I don’t like them messing with my carbs & fat. I don’t want to eatContinue reading “Carrot Cake”
Lemon Curd
Quarantine has changed me, man. My weekends have gone from picnics, swimming, and brunch dates to figuring out how to entertain myself using the food in my fridge. This recipe is the product of that. Also, I promised myself I’d drink lemon water every morning, and that didn’t happen. So, I had to use themContinue reading “Lemon Curd”
Chickpea Brownies
I know what you’re thinking. “This sounds gross. I’m not going to make this. Alli is stupid.” Maybe you aren’t thinking that. But y’all, I have stumbled upon greatness (for once in my life) with this creation. My husband and I have such a major sweet tooth. We’re always reaching for ice cream or chocolateContinue reading “Chickpea Brownies”
Almond Chocolate Chip Biscotti
Poor biscotti. They’re just skinny lil overbaked cookies that only grandmas love…OR ARE THEY? I remember where I was when I ate my first biscotti. I was housesitting for a neighbor, and was rifling through their cabinets for food. I came upon a chocolate-dipped biscotti, and thought “welp, I guess it’s kinda like a cookie.”Continue reading “Almond Chocolate Chip Biscotti”
Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookies
I had every intention of using this time at home to get healthy. To happily eat spinach salads and roll out the yoga mat for a home workout. To make smoothies, to do squats, to take supplements. In my head, I was going to strut out of quarantine with shiny hair, glowy skin, and aContinue reading “Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookies”
Key Lime Bars
I’d like to start this blog post by telling you that I’m a liar. A LIAR. These are not key lime bars. These are regular lime bars. But we both know that “Lime Bars” DOES NOT SOUND CUTE. So we’re calling them key lime bars because this is my blog, and I can do whateverContinue reading “Key Lime Bars”
Almond Peach Loaf
I was always a vanilla girl with vanilla desserts. By that, I mean I was #basic with my baking. You’ll find vanilla extract in almost everything I make. Until I married my handsome Dutchman and was introduced to the world of almond. For a few years now, my husband’s wonderful family has invited me toContinue reading “Almond Peach Loaf”
Strawberry Galette
“Galette.” Don’t I sound so fancy? Don’t you immediately think that I attend garden parties and own a home in the Hamptons? Is your pinky finger lifting into the air uncontrollably? It’s okay. Let it happen. I need to be honest. Galette sounds fancy, but it’s actually just lazy pie. Pie is great, but itContinue reading “Strawberry Galette”
Vanilla Pound Cake
If we haven’t already established that I’m a cranky old lady at heart, this recipe sure will. I know pound cakes aren’t the cutest. Not the trendiest. Have you ever seen a millennial eat pound cake? Absolutely not. Maybe if I put some avocado on it? I think we need to bring back pound cake,Continue reading “Vanilla Pound Cake”
