Robin’s Egg Cupcakes

It’s Easter! Easter’s one of my favorite holidays simply because there’s so much to look forward to: pastel colors, flowers in bloom, Easter basket hunts, and (in non-covid times) family gatherings. I love how cheery and refreshing it feels after a long winter! However, if for some reason that’s not your thing, you’re actually in luck, because today’s recipe is a cause for celebration all on its own. These Robin’s Egg Cupcakes are elegant, delicately flavored, and incredibly moist and fluffy. I swear you’ve never had vanilla cupcakes this good. Springy, in both texture and season!

Blood Orange Loaf Cake

Easter is just a few days away! I know that chocolate bunnies and sugary jellybeans are usually the treats of choice for this holiday, but let’s not forget that Easter lines right up with citrus season. That’s right: as the tulips bloom and the air gets sweeter, so do the oranges. It’s the perfect window for baking, so I couldn’t help but bring you an even-more-perfect recipe to celebrate with! We’re kicking off the equinox with a zingy, delightful dessert that tastes like springtime on a plate: Blood Orange Loaf Cake.

Perfect Açaí Bowl

As summertime approaches, I’ve been revisiting one of my favorite warm-weather meals: açaí bowls! Just the name invokes memories of salty air, cute coastal restaurants, and watercolor sunsets over the ocean. However, you don’t need to fly to the tropics to enjoy an açaí bowl. My version can be made at home in 10 minutes, and it’s divine. Plus, you’ll dodge all of the preservatives and added sugars/fats in store-bought bowls! We’ll call it like it is: this is the Perfect Açaí Bowl.

Spicy Shrimp Rabokki

Today, I’m sharing what might be the best recipe I’ve ever posted on this blog: Spicy Shrimp Rabokki. I mean it when I say that this dish, inspired by Korean street food, is absolutely delicious. It features springy ramen noodles, stir-fried shrimp, and a special ingredient most Americans haven’t even heard of. I am so impressed at how authentic and takeout-like this recipe tastes with only a few simple ingredients! If you’re someone who loves trying new flavors, then my Spicy Shrimp Rabokki is for you.

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! Sorry if I’ve been MIA, life has been a bit crazy.

However, no matter how bad my case of senioritis gets, I could never pass up the chance to bring you a fun holiday recipe! Today is all about these Bakery-Style Raspberry Chocolate Muffins.

Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese

Happy 2021! I’m a little late to the game with my first post of the new year, but I promise you it’ll be worth the wait. Today I’m bringing you this absolutely delicious Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese. It’s got an addicting savory flavor, two types of cheese, and is even halfway good for you! I made this in the fall when squash was all the rage, and it very quickly became a fan-favorite in our house⏤ so much so that we had it for New Year’s Eve dinner.

Oh, the classic post-holiday letdown. You know the one: Christmas is over and it’s time to turn off the holiday playlist, un-deck the halls, and delete all the Hallmark movies you had recorded.

Luckily, do I have a solution for you: the Best Chocolate Chip Muffins! These and a glass of milk will drown all your after-Christmas sorrows.
