With Valentine’s in the month of February, there’s no way I could just feature one dessert. Which is why I plan to share dessert recipes every week this whole month! I think I’ll call it, February Sweetness Month….starting with a delicious creamy, Dulce de Leche Cheesecake. Why cheesecake and not chocolate? Look, we all know Chocolate takes the cake (get it?, ha!) when it comes to Valentine’s. As a matter of fact, just to make this article a little more…
Pie, pie and more pie, January 23rd is National Pie Day! Who doesn’t love a good pie? It’s the ultimate comfort dessert and that no one can resist when it’s sitting in front of them. The only thing that keeps me from baking a pie more often is the work. Some recipes can be a little challenging, from making fresh crust to creating your own filling from scratch! I don’t have time for all that. So I did a quick…

Let’s face it, the kitchen is the hub of our home.…

What I loved about this cake, besides it having Champagne, is it’s orange flavor with it’s silky buttercream flavor. I don’t want to brag, but it’s one of the best cakes I’ve baked so far.…
Pozole is a hearty rich Mexican stew, that originated in the state of Jalisco, Mexico, and is traditionally prepared during special occasions or holidays. The main ingredient is hominy-dried white or yellow corn kernels that have been boiled and soaked in slake lime to remove the hull, and then drained, rinsed, and cooked for about 2 hours.
