Am I the last person standing who (before today) hadn’t tried Whipped Coffee??
Arguably, this may be the hottest trend to come out of covid cooking.
While everyone’s favorite coffee shops were struggling through the early months of the pandemic, caffeine enthusiasts took it upon themselves to whip up these easy-on-the-eyes frothy beverages.
I personally have been mesmerized by gorgeous Instagram photos of this coffee concoction for months.

When I spotted this Lemony Thyme Peach Lemonade recipe in BHG magazine it instantly became 1st on the must-make list.
It’s very well documented that I have a huge crush on lemon & thyme.

I made this Blueberry Mojito in mere minutes.
Key ingredients: fresh mint, limes, sugar, ice, rum, club soda and in this case blueberries.
Oh my. How I love a Mojito.

We ran out of our favorite bottled BBQ sauce about the time I developed an insatiable craving for BBQ Chicken Pizza. Sadly it’s not available locally so this time I turned the tables and challenged myself to come up with a Homemade BBQ Sauce that was equally as good as our favorite.

When peaches and jalapeños meet there is bound to be some sweet spicy love created aka Peach Jalapeño Skillet Jam.
I am thankful for Farmers’ Markets (where I scored these beautiful Georgia peaches) and friends with gardens (where I scored these picture perfect jalapenos).

At a recent family reunion I discovered these luscious Salted Double Dark Chocolate Cookies. They are rich, crispy on the edges yet soft on the inside, with a hint of sea salt. Can you see that molten chunk of chocolate there? It’s the ‘Double’ in this cookie’s name.

It has been an entire month since our last Adventures in Chocolate recipe. Overdue in my book. After seeing this recipe on a friend’s fb timeline, it took me 3 seconds flat to know we were going in. It’s no coincidence that she posted it either. I’m pretty sure it was a subtle hint, hint, nudge, nudge, in hopes that I’d make a batch of White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Fudge and Share the Love.

Pumpkin, pumpkin everywhere. I had to jump in and join the party. Keeping it simple, by taking our most favorite Banana Bread recipe and replacing mashed bananas with pumpkin puree. The result is a Pumpkin Pecan Bread that is super moist, not too pumpkin-y, with subtle hints of cinnamon.
