I have an orange and almond scone recipe on here that I absolutely adore, it’s seriously delicious! Anyone who has made it tells me it’s “perfect”. However, I can’t always make that recipe because I am watching my blood sugar levels, so I created this healthier version that is lower carb and honestly still tastes …
I love yeast doughnuts and making them at home isn’t particularly difficult either, mostly just takes some passive time and a little learning when it comes to deep frying them. The cooking is the hardest thing. That takes practice. They cook really quickly, I found for me 20-30 seconds is all it takes. My kids …

I am in love with these cookies, the texture, the chew, and the flavor! These are my favorite peanut butter cookie out of all the peanut butter cookies I have eaten in my life. You guys that is a big statement! I grew up with some amazing peanut butter cookies! I also love the fact …
This orange flavored olive oil cake is simple and rustic, yet sophisticated and the flavors are subtle but complex. I love this combination and it isn’t over the top sweet but just the right amount. The texture is also soft and cakey but also kind of chewy on the edges from the olive oil. The …
