Hot days call for cold chocolate 🪭❄️

Published 2 days ago • 1 min read

Hey friends❣️

Consider this your digital cool breeze. It’s been hot and rainy here, and the bad hair days are stacking up ~ but there’s still plenty to love about mid-summer!

No Bake Double Chocolate Cheesecake

Not sure what to lead with here. It’s no-bake, which makes it perfect for this steamy week ~ but really, it’s all about the chocolate. Rich, full-flavored, with just a hint of tang…it might even top the chocolate cheesecake that’s been living rent-free in your memory. (Mine? A boyfriend made it for me freshman year of college ~ hard to beat!)

But here's the interesting part: that no-bake thing? It results in the most luxurious texture that a baked cheesecake can't touch. You'll like it. 😋

I just finished making this fantastic recipe- I’ve already eaten a half jar with crackers and cheese (I ended up with 4 small jars) It is very easy to make and quite afforable. The result was beyond my expectations. It’s a definite keeper! Thanks for sharing another one of your fabulous recipes……..

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!

It's HERE! 👉 (Your AUGUST Bucket List)

Hey friends❣️ We’re in the home stretch, people. August has its own kind of energy ~ slower, softer, a little overgrown. The kitchen’s full of fruit flies, corn husks, and peaches begging to be baked. There’s good eating to be done, for sure. Your AUGUST kitchen playlist, in no particular order (It's really hard to pick favorites this month but I'll call out the zucchini bars, the zucchini layer cake, and those mouth watering masa harina biscuits.

Hey friends❣️ Back again with my newest culinary 'invention', and it's a goodie. Best of all it takes just 2 ingredients to whip this up. Simple but super impactful. Life is good!

Hey friends❣️ You know those emails where they're trying to reel you in with the 60 best dinner ideas, or the 47 salads you have to make this summer? It's kind of overwhelming if you ask me. I just need a few good recipes to get me through the week, thanks :) Summer Tomato Melts Tomato sandwiches are great, but tomato melts are better. It's the cheese. You get the cool juicy tomato, my special basil mayo, and that melty/crispy cheese in every bite. It's a goodie. Sweet Corn and Tomato Salad...
