This Time I Even Surprised Myself!! ☘️


Hey friends❣️

Sometimes I surprise myself. I mean, I knew this cake would be good, and I knew it would make the perfect little treat to mark St. Paddy's Day. Maybe bring it to the office, or share with friends over dinner. But I simply wasn't prepared for that first bite...

The BEST Irish Cream Snack Cake!

Omg I can't say enough good things about this little cake. The chocolate cake itself is moist, tender, very chocolatey, and super easy to whisk up in a bowl. Buuuuuuut the real star is the frosting. I just can't....

So I'm starting to think about St Patrick's Day. It's funny because I haven't really been tuned in to secondary holidays like that for a while now, but the arrival of my first grandchild has sort of reinspired me to mark them in some way. These special days that stud our yearly calendar are the memory makers, for sure.

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!

Hey friends❣️

I'm not a salad hater, not by a long shot, but even I'm tempted to skip the bowl with my best creamy luxe salad dressings ~ just grab a crunchy leaf and dip away! 🥬

Meyer Lemon Cake 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I live in SoCal and I have a Meyer lemon tree. So I’m always wondering what to do with all those lemons. This recipe is a keeper. I already made it twice. I used a square 9 x 9 pan lined with parchment paper and it was perfect. The lemony flavor is the best that I have tasted in a cake And I love that it’s gluten-free ! Thanks again for another great recipe Sue. Keep them coming! You’re the best!

flourless chocolate cake

Hey friends❣️ I've made a lot of wonderfully silky desserts over the years, but this might be the silkiest! 4 Ingredient Flourless Chocolate Cake No kidding ~ just 4 ingredients in this gluten free chocolate meringue cake magically bake up into a melt in your mouth dessert. I love the dramatic presentation of a deep rich chocolate cake topped with a shower of powdered sugar, it’s a classic. But the real star here is the texture. I’m sitting here trying to describe it to you and my brain...
