Hey, y’all! — It’s been a hot (but actually super cold) minute, hasn’t it? Let’s just have a come to Jesus moment here and talk about it. I took a bit of a break from the blog over the holidays, not just to shut down, but actually to work on some exciting new projects. Lots…

Spiked Peppermint Mocha Mousse
I’m ho ho home for the holidays and basically surviving on everything peppermint for the rest of the year. Growing up, we would go to my grandmother’s house for Christmas every year. One thing was on my mind during those trips (other than presents, obv). Peppermint ice cream. Do you remember the type? Litte bits…
Cinnamon Marshmallow-Iced Shortbread Cookies
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Boar’s Head. All opinions are 100% mine. I have two new obsessions. Shortbread everything and marshmallow everything. Not that these are really all that new, but I tend to go through phases where I go ballistic with making recipes with some key ingredients that…
Brandy Snaps with Honey Whipped Cream
The most wonderful time of year. Holiday baking season! — I don’t normally jump onto the winter holiday train so quickly, but I think there is a bit of wiggle room when it comes to baking. I’m definately judging you for putting up that tree before Thanksgiving has passed, but it is perfectly acceptable to…
Thin Mint Ganache Brownies
St. Patrick’s Day is almost here! You know… that day that you probably don’t know the meaning of, but still use it as an excuse to drink an unnatural amount of green beer, corned beef, and everything minty. But mostly the beer, right? Whether or not you know why you are honoring Saint Patrick, I’m all…
Santa Claus Conchas Donuts
Ho.. Ho.. dHonuts, y’all! There is a favorite panadería, or Mexican bakery, in Nashville that I discovered this past year. It’s hidden in a little corner of the city, and holds some of the best sweet pastries and breads in town. It’s my little secret, and I’m never going to tell any of ya where it…
Naan Baked Ice Cream Cones
December is here and I’m officially in holiday mode. Fa la la la laaaaa! — Bring on the flashing lights, excessive eating, the road rage when there is a bit of snow in the air and people forget how to drive, the ice cream! Wait… what? Ya. You heard me. The ice cream! One of…

Ho….. Ho…. Hooooooo. *kicks kid down slide* — It’s that time, y’all! In true Southern Fatty style, a bit late to the game, I am sharing some of my favorite picks for your holiday gifts. If you all are anything like myself, you probably haven’t shopping anyway, right? Thank you, Amazon Prime. Here…
Cranberry Lemon Drop Martini
Christmas time is heeeeere. Bringing lots of boozy cheer. — All I need now is a spotlight, a piano, and a nice holiday cocktail to start the show. Taking a cranberry twist to the lemon favorite, this Cranberry Lemon Drop Martini is the perfect holiday companion for the season. There really isn’t much to the perfect…
Gingersnap Pumpkin Tart with Nutmeg Meringues
I teased y’all a bit yesterday with some beautifully delicious nutmeg meringues. Since I decided that you’d probably judge me if I said that I made a sheet full of meringues just to stand in the kitchen and eat them one by one…. that I would make something else to put them on. Thanksgiving dessert train…
