If you love a slightly sweet, soft bread (and, I mean who doesn't), then you’re in for a real treat with challah bread. You can also twist, wrap, and roll it into many different sizes and designs, making it all the more fun.

This bread is a deliciously soft treat, turned into cinnamon toast, or even a yummy french toast! Set aside a few hours (remember bread loves time to sit and grow, don’t we all?) and get to making this delicious knotted loaf.

Who doesn’t love a good brownie? They’re fudgy, chocolatey, and oh so yum. This recipe is how to level UP one of your favorite brownie recipes into something oh-so-decadent.

How are we going to level up your already favorite brownie you ask? By topping them with the most delicious (and easy) two-ingredient toffee layer and finishing with a salty, crunchy texture paradise - a saltine crunch.

There are few things more summery to me than a strawberry shortcake so this is a fun way to spice up your delivery by making them choux “cakes” instead! Take a warm weather classic and put on your pastry hat with these cute little choux buns, filling them with fresh whipped cream and topping with macerated strawberries.

I used to live on the Upper West Side in New York City and just a few blocks from my apartment glowed a Milk Bar. To be honest, I had 0 expectations for this “cereal milk” ice cream. But I left astounded. I don’t know what it is but it just has the right balance of creamy, sweet, and a smidge salty, all wrapped up in a slightly nostalgic little bow. I knew I needed to attempt my own version of this recipe so here it is - and if I do say so myself (which I do) it is divine.

Does anyone else hear Michael Scott’s voice when you see “tiramisu”? You really can’t go wrong with homemade lady fingers (which are basically cookie air), fresh mascarpone whip, and all the juicy mixed berries. This omits the coffee completely - YAY - and makes it a perfect warm-weather treat.

Do you love pie? Yes! Do you sometimes not love making pie sexy? Yes! Welcome to the galette. The unsexy, flat pie. This version balances the sweetness of the strawberries with the tangy cream of the goat cheese, and herby thyme, all wrapped in a delicious shortcrust pastry dough.

With a mild sweetness and the sharpness from the fresh raspberry jam, these cookies are the perfect pairing for an afternoon treat - or any time of day let’s be honest. The jam windows offer a peek inside and give a delightfully delicate vibe to a pretty little treat.

Raise your hand if you need to incorporate more vegetables into your daily eating. Everyone? Yeah, cool. 

I love a quiche, they are a creamy, delicious, and tasty way to start your day. Or have for lunch. Or dinner. Honestly, anytime is quiche time. Add in some vegetables and you’ve got yourself a home run to kick any part of your day off right.

A flaky bite of buttery, yummy layers - you can’t go wrong. Well… you can in the making of it. There is a reason people buy puff pastry versus making their own as it takes a lot of time. BUT as you work through the steps, it becomes almost therapeutic to roll and fold the dough. And the end results? An incredibly delicious reward.

This recipe combines my childhood sweet treat dreams with my love for a classic British tea time into one. There is something about dirt that is so easy - to make and to eat - that I figured, why not make a tea cake version that just blows all of our proverbial minds?

Pastry cream or créme pâtissèrie (sometimes lovingly called “créme pât”) is the base of a lot of your favorite tarts and danishes. You can place it in a piping bag and fill out the bottom of a pastry crust or even spread it flat in the fridge and use a cutter to slice discs out for various fillings. As it sits in the fridge it thickens, making it the perfect component for so many pastries.

This cake is a mouthful, in many ways. I’ve been dying to try my hand at an olive oil cake so when thinking out my plan of [dessert] attack, I kept thinking back to the crepe suzettes we made in pastry school. So I thought, why don’t I inspire a cake from it? Thus, an orange olive oil cake topped with caramel (but ya girl needs a proper frosting or glaze so the brown butter cream cheese adds the perfect layer in between).

I honestly, could devour an entire Texas sheet cake solo (I do admit to having zero self-control). It’s soft and thin but it’s the combo with the extremely fudgy frosting (which is literally the best icing on the cake) that makes the whole situation oh so good. So I figured, why not turn them into cookies?

These mini fruit tarts are made up of four elements: pastry crust, raspberry sauce, creme patisserie, and fresh fruit. As an optional add-on, you can paint the top with an apricot glaze to give your tarts a glossy finish. All in all, they are magic and the perfect treat for a party or just a solo weekend.

Anything mini is automatically adorable. So take a crepe, cut out circles, and stack it with layers of deliciousness. Ladies and gents, we have a cuteness home run.

In my opinion, rosemary is an underutilized flavor in pastry. It adds such a delicious depth of flavor that pairs so well in things like shortbread or madeleines. Add a white chocolate shell and my god, we have a winner.

There are lots of varieties of granola that you’ll find in the stores - even the most bizarre of flavored ones - but I’ve been desperate to make my own for some time now. So, here it is! It’s a little bit sweet, a tiny bit salty, and a lot crunchy. I will forever prefer mine stacked in a parfait but you do you, my friend.

With just enough tang from the lemon, the right amount of moistness, and a sweet, citrusy glaze. This recipe is simply perfection.

Even though I’m 100% a gravy and soup gal, I’m not a massive meat eater and I’ve been doing what I can to incorporate more plant-based meals into my routine. This meal, in my opinion, is a great starter. It incorporates elements that we all know and love as they are (which happen to be vegan) - guacamole, taco shells, and a black bean and corn salsa - with plant-based additions like the swap from ground meat to quinoa and sour cream to a cashew versioning.

Whether you’re trying to incorporate more legumes (fffiiibbeerrr) into your meals or just want a comforting bowl of something, these rosemary beans take less than 10 minutes to throw together and are a hearty, creamy bite of yum.
