Chocolate Olive Oil Cake

If you haven’t seen my olive oil cake I made over summer - check it out here. It became a hit very fast - it went viral on Tiktok, Instagram & Pinterest. Thank you to the Kardashians for making the Olive Oil Cake a HIT! It’s my favorite cake - I am not a huge frosting person so the cake is the perfect, fluffy, refreshing treat. I have been wanting to try a chocolate version - so I tried to have the same recipe with minor modifications. It turned out SO good. Tom ate majority of it (he loves chocolate). I did not make frosting for this one, but I think I might next time to make it gooey.

Sugar Plum Spritz

I love finding holiday items at Trader Joes and when I saw their “Sugar Plum Beverage” I knew I had to buy it and use it in a cocktail. It’s not very sweet — so this cocktail is very refreshing and be be made with or without the simple syrup.

Kardashian Olive Oil Cake

I’m sure you have seen the news about the famous olive oil cake from Little House Confections in LA all over Instagram, but if you not: read about it here! I love baking, I love cakes, I love the Kardashians. When I saw all of the Kardashians posting about this famous olive oil cake, I got serious FOMO because I don’t live in LA and cannot get a cake delivered.

My Famous Banana Bread

I do not remember when I decided to start making banana bread as a kid - but it’s now become my “thing”. Family and friends always save bananas for me in their fridge so that I can make them banana bread when I come visit.

GF/DF Lemon Pasta & Tuscan Grilled Chicken

Since I cannot make it to Capri every time I want some lemon pasta… I decided to figure out how to make some yummy pasta myself. I made this recipe gluten & dairy free but if that’s not your thing you can sub regular pasta in and heavy cream instead of almond milk.

Cauliflower BBQ Chicken Pizza

I have recently gone gluten free - so that means lots of substitutions and healthier meals. I have been eyeing this pizza crust for a while but I was too scared to make it and didn’t know what I wanted??

Pomegranate Gimlet

I am obsessed with all things lime and all things pomegranate, so this cocktail was a must for Christmas. I found a similar recipe and decided it was time to try it! My family called this my “Reindeer Gilmet”!

Copycat Sweetgreen Kale Caesar Salad

If you follow me on Instagram you know I am obsessed with this salad and eat it weekly. The only thing that stops me from eating it more is the price tag: $10 (yikes).
