Ever since we made a wedding cake last summer, we’ve been meaning to blog about the buttermilk cake recipe we used. It’s by far our favorite cake recipe, not only because it is superbly delicious (because it really is!), but also because it holds up well to frostings and fillings and slices like a dream….

Raspberry Lemon Bars
You may have noticed before that we love the raspberry and lemon combination! Maybe it’s partially the fact that maroon and gold are our school colors, but the delicious sweet, tart, fresh taste is probably what keeps us coming back. These bars in particular are probably one of our all-time favorite desserts. The filling is…
Blueberry Pie
I think we can all agree that one of the best parts of summer is the fabulous fresh berries that are available. Most berries, like strawberries and raspberries, I love eating plain from a bowl. Blueberries, on the other hand, I think are much better when cooked. I like plain blueberries, but when they are…
Glazed Cranberry Lemon Cake
It feels so good to be home for Christmas! Getting back into the kitchen has been one of the best parts (and just being home in general!). Leah and I got home pretty late Wednesday night, and Thursday we looked around the kitchen to see what we had and noticed there was a bag of…
Chocolate Covered Strawberry Éclairs
One of the first “fancy” things Leah and I ever baked was a batch of cream puffs. I’m not sure how we made that selection, but I’m glad we did! Ever since, we’ve had a fondness for anything involving pâte à choux. When one of the blogs we follow posted a recipe for chocolate covered…
Cherry Almond Dutch Baby
You know how there are some things that you don’t cook with or eat that often? It’s not that you dislike them, it’s just that you and that ingredient never seem to cross paths. For us, that ingredient is cherries. They occasionally end up in our fridge, but they’re not really one of our go-to…
Raspberry Lemonade Bars
During the summer, I don’t tend to crave rich, warm chocolatey desserts as much as I do during the winter. It’s not that I would say no a chocolate chip cookie (who would?), it’s just that I prefer to have something a little more refreshing. Homemade ice cream, fruit cobblers, and anything involving lemon are…
Whipped Honey-Vanilla Yogurt with Toasted Coconut, Pineapple, and Sliced Strawberries
Since we gave up sugar for Lent, we’ve been keeping our eyes out for desserts (and breakfasts) that are only sweetened with natural sugars like honey, maple syrup, and fruit. We came across this lovely yogurt recipe in the latest edition of Martha Stewart Living. You whisk together Greek yogurt, a bit of heavy cream,…
Meyer Lemon Pudding Cake
How is it possible that March is starting tomorrow? There are only two months of high school left, which feels crazy. This school year has just blown away with a gust of college essays, piles of homework, and hours spent at activities. We have a long Easter break and have a senior capstone (job shadowing)…
Cranberry Snowdrift Bars
I hope all of you had a great Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving itself was good since we weren’t cooking, but when we attempted some new recipes for just our immediate family yesterday, none of them turned out that well. The rolls were a little dense and not very flavorful, the pumpkin pie was very mediocre, and our…
