Easy Apple Crisp Without Oats

October 26, 2022 by Lindsay 3 Comments

This apple crisp recipe without oats comes together quickly in less than an hour and is the perfect healthy fall dessert. It can be made in advance and reheated, and the addition of pecans, flaxseed, and hemp hearts to the strudel topping gives the best texture.

HELLO favorite fall dessert, I heart you.

This easy apple crisp recipe is one of my absolute favorite uses for apples, especially in the fall when orchard apples are everywhere and just.so.good. Gooey filling, crunchy topping, ice cream on top?

Sign. Me. Up.

Chocolate Chess Pie

December 21, 2021 by Lindsay 8 Comments

Delicious, super easy creamy chocolate chess pie in under an hour! This recipe has just 7 ingredients and is so simple to make with the help of a storebought crust! PS, if you have extra evaporated milk, it can be used in slow cooker butter chicken or other creamy savory recipes!

Tis the season to make a pie so delicious you may or may not consume 2 pieces in twelve hours just to be sure it was that good.

It was, promise.

Ok so this pie. Vague origin story. I actually didn't know what a chocolate chess pie WAS, but this local grocery/bakery that we frequent makes them around the holidays and they always looked really enticing in pretty bakery boxes. Then I ended up with a few extra pie crusts after Thanksgiving (my apple pies didn't require a top crust because I didn't have as many apples as I thought, long story), and I knew I needed a new Christmas pie. Enter: Chocolate Chess.

Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie

Hello, summer! The most delicious strawberry cream cheese pie with no Jello and no sweetened condensed milk! This version uses cornstarch to thicken the strawberry layer and has a base of sweetened cream cheese whipped with fresh cream for a decadent, creamy layer. Make this pie with your favorite pie crust; graham cracker or pastry pie crust both work deliciously!

Ok strawberry season, I see you.

We have been going through literal gallons of local strawberries since the season started, and every year we go through the "they're just so much better in season, right?!" conversations that we have every year. I mean, of course local, in season stuff is better.

Strawberry pie is one of my favorite ways to use up bunches and bunches of strawberries, and there are tons of variations on strawberry pie. This is a strawberry cream cheese pie with a fluffy cream cheese layer, lightly sweetened berries, and flaky pie crust because I just like it better than graham cracker crust.

YUMYUMYUM.

I would like it to be known how freaking excellent this olive oil banana bread is. I've been adding olive oil to lots of baked goods recently, for the main reason that I Don't Usually Have Other Oil In The House. I don't know why, I just don't think to buy it regularly like other ingredients.

Puff Pastry Cinnamon Rolls

April 13, 2021 by Lindsay 7 Comments

Yummy, EASY mini puff pastry cinnamon rolls made in a mini-muffin tin! These shortcut cinnamon rolls are perfect for a small dessert or snack for a baby shower or Mother's Day brunch. They have all the flavor of cinnamon rolls in flaky crust with no yeast, rising, or kneading.

What's it called when it's definitely baking in that we turn the oven on, but very low effort?

That's what I think of every time I use frozen puff pastry.
