Crave-driven recipes and lifestyle inspiration.
My inspiration for a 4th of July recipe came while looking through this month’s Food Network magazine. I saw cupcakes decorated with white & red frosting, and immediately felt up to the challenge. I thought the ‘blue’ portion of my cupcakes could be blueberries – and what goes better with blueberries than lemon? The idea for my ‘red, white, & lemon blueberry’ cupcakes was born!

Birthday celebrations call for sweet treats covered in sprinkles. I celebrated my best friend’s 25th in NYC this past weekend & couldn’t visit without something delicious! Although cake or cupcakes are typical birthday desserts, I knew neither of those options would travel well. I thought cookies would be the best alternative & I was right.

Boozy cupcakes are one of my favorite things to make during St. Patty’s day for two reasons, the booze and the cupcakes. The light carbonation of Guinness gives these cupcakes delicious flavor and a perfectly airy consistency.

No two snowflakes look the same and neither do these cookies! This recipe has always been a crowd-pleaser, since my family and I would bake cookies to give as holiday gifts. Soft chocolate dough rolled in sweet confectioners sugar before baking is what gives these cookies their snowflake design.

The weather may be cold, but I love this time of year. Everyone is excited about the holidays, gift-giving, and spending time with family and friends. Tonight is the first night of Hanukkah, which means two things for my family and I; potato latkes and rugelach. I’ll keep my family’s latke recipe to myself but the rugelach is all yours!
