White chocolate macadamia cookies have always been my favorite cookie. There’s just something magical that happens when you get a bite of cookie with a macadamia nut and some white chocolate! The flavors are absolutely perfect together. I whipped up a batch of this recipe as well as my Toffee and Almond Chocolate Chip Cookies […]
My husband and I visited Napa Valley last week and had way too much wine and cheese. What I didn’t expect was that we would eat so many pastries! We found the cutest little bakery in St. Helena called Model Bakery and they have the most delicious assortment of bread and pastries. I’ve been missing those […]
I have to give credit to my amazing mom for this recipe. She’s made this and variations of this recipe all throughout my childhood. It’s filled with delicious flavor and not to mention the puff pastry just melts in your mouth. It’s a perfect snack in the middle of the day and it’ll WOW your […]
I grew up eating Cozonac every year around the holidays so I figured it’s time for me to master this delicious sweet bread so that one day I can pass along the tradition to my kids. I’m determined to perfect this recipe! Thanks to modern technology I used a bread machine for the kneading, but I […]
Oh sweet sponge cake how I love you. You’re so light, fluffy, and full of flavor. Thank you for being so good even without butter or oil! My husband ate this cake in pretty much a matter of 24 hours. My mom and I had one slice each and that was that. He devoured this […]
A few years ago I purchased a dessert cookbook called Baked Explorations, because to be honest, the cover, style, and photography won me over. I am so glad that I did because the desserts in the book are so unique and create such a nostalgic feeling. There is one recipe in particular that really stands […]
My husband loves pie and we both love cheesecake, so when I started thinking of this recipe I knew I wanted to combine the two. Really this dessert is more of a cheesecake in pie form but I still like calling it cheesecake pie to put a smile on my husband’s face. 4th of July […]
I know I’ve been going a little crazy with Tiramisu recipes but I just can’t get enough. There are so many desserts and cakes out there that are just way too sweet and overpowering. Tiramisu is just the opposite. It’s delicate, perfectly sweet, and so incredibly light. I made this cake for my sister’s birthday […]
I absolutely love making a big loaf of sweet bread and knowing that I have it all week to enjoy with my morning cup of coffee. I wanted to make this bread just sweet enough, not like your usual over the top cinnamon swirl breads. It came out so delicious, the perfect amount of sweetness. […]
There’s a full moon tonight which means adventure time for the Wells family! We figured since there are so many beautiful spots to explore around us, why not make a trip out of the full moon tonight. We love star gazing and teaching Emma about space and the stars so we are so excited to […]
I’ve been wanting to post this DIY project for the longest time! Last fall my husband decided our bathroom needed some work so he tiled the floor, changed the paint color of the walls, and added some new bathroom accessories. Needless to say, everything turned out beautifully, but the mirror door to the medicine cabinet […]
For this juice recipe I used 4 ingredients that I pretty much always have on hand. Before I started juicing I never bought kale, but now I’m proud to say that it’s a staple in my house. This juice is definitely on the sour side so if you prefer sweeter drinks I would add some […]
