There’s not much my husband likes better than tiramisu. I don’t know what it is… the silky mascarpone, the decadent coffee and rum (or wine), or the chocolate. Or maybe it’s how they all sing together in perfect dessert harmony. One thing’s for sure, tiramisu is his favorite dessert, bar none. Even given a choice [...]

Things have been a little crazy over here in Casa de B&B. Sufficed to say, I’m finding there are not enough hours in most days. But, some things are important enough that you make time for them. Like cake. And friends. I’d like to tell you about our dear friends, Chris and Karen. They have [...]

Let’s get one last Christmas cookie recipe in under the wire, okay? I’ve been baking up a storm for weeks, and these are probably my favorite out of the bunch. You’ll read the recipe and think, “Flatten with a spatula, Amber?”, but that’s really how I achieved that perfect chewy texture. I don’t claim to [...]

Y’all, I’m stress eating like whoa. It’s been a rough few days without water or power, but we have it better than most. A tree fell, but missed EVERYTHING. We thought we were prepared with a generator and gas. But now we’re on day 4, and everywhere is out of gas, including our generator. At [...]

Remember when I made those delicious pork egg rolls? Well, as James and I rolled them out, we realized we’d have a few extra egg roll wrappers hanging around after we worked through the pork filling. My mind immediately flew back to one of the most incredible desserts I’ve ever had: the Banana and Sea [...]

If you follow me on any social media, you may have seen my very freaked out statuses a few weeks ago. My dad had a heart attack on a quiet Wednesday, and survived, despite the odds being 98% in the favor of him not doing so. Since that quiet Wednesday, I have been taking stock [...]

When I spotted this recipe for Lemonade Cheesecake on Sargento’s website, I knew I had to make it. When it comes to cheesecake, I much prefer fruity [...]
