Bustle: Gingersnap Cookie Butter Recipe
I’m all about edible gifts during the holidays. Maybe it’s the minimalist side of me that believes people don’t need meaningless stuff, stuff, and more stuff.

Recipe: Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
When someone says “peanut butter cups”, I’m sure there’s a 9.9/10 chance you’ll think of the Reese’s brand. While I’ve always been a fan of Reese’s anything – the “pieces” kind, especially – I couldn’t help but give a homemade version a shot. This recipe is no-bake, and an adaptation of several different recipes that I found across the web. The …
Recipe: Whiskey Dark Chocolate Bread Pudding with Whiskey Coffee Glaze
I am so stoked to share this recipe. It’s a little ridiculous how excited I am. Granted, the name of this recipe is anything but little. Luckily, the concept of bread pudding is as simple it gets. It’s hard to mess it up, honestly. And there are so many ways you can go with this; cue all the …
