Sarah’s Story:

I discovered this recipe the summer our neighbor gifted us a basket of homegrown figs. I didn’t want to bake them — they were too beautiful as they were. So I built a no-bake tart around them with a creamy yogurt filling and a nutty crust. It turned out so simple, yet so stunning. No...

Sarah’s Story:

This tropical tart happened after a beach day when we all came home sun-kissed, sandy, and hungry for something fresh. I had a coconut-based crust already chilled and a fridge full of fruit — pineapple, kiwi, mango. The kids helped decorate, and it turned into this bright, happy trea...

Sarah’s Story:

This Pina Colada Sorbet was born on one of those hot, sticky afternoons when I just needed something cold and fruity. I threw some frozen pineapple and coconut milk in the blender with a squeeze of lime — and just like that, a new summer obsession was born. Now it’s one of my favorit...

Sarah’s Story:

I made this no-bake raspberry cheesecake one summer when I was craving something creamy but couldn’t bear the idea of turning on the oven. I had fresh raspberries from the market, cream cheese in the fridge, and a little time before dinner guests arrived. It came together in minutes ...

🍽 Sarah’s Story:

This trifle came together after one of our Saturday farmer’s market runs — I had fresh blackberries, a tub of Greek yogurt, and leftover almond pound cake from the day before. The kids were begging for something sweet, and I wanted something light and pretty. The result? A healthy ...

The first time I made these…

It was one of those warm days when the fridge needed something cold and creamy. I had a handful of ripe strawberries, a tub of Greek yogurt, and a craving for cheesecake... but not the kind that takes hours or leaves you in a food coma.

So I made these Strawberry Chees...

The first time I made this…

We had friends coming over for dinner and I wanted something cozy, something gooey, and definitely something with apples… but still light enough for a warm summer night.

So I grabbed my go-to apple crisp recipe, added a quick maple caramel drizzle on top, and baked it u...

The first time I made this…

It was one of those dreamy late-spring days — warm sun, windows open, and that itch to bake something fresh, bright, and a little nostalgic. Lemon meringue pie always reminded me of my grandmother’s Sunday dinners, but I hadn’t made one in years because… well, sugar over...

The first time I made these…

It was one of those days where I just needed chocolate — but also didn’t want to feel heavy or sluggish after. I spotted a couple of ripe bananas on the counter and remembered seeing something on Pinterest years ago…

So I sliced them up, dipped them in dark chocolate, ...

The first time I made this…

It was one of those hot, sticky afternoons when even turning on the stove felt like too much. I had a bunch of ripe fruit in the fridge and no real plan… until I remembered a simple fruit salad my mom used to make — just fresh fruit and a handful of chopped mint from the...

The first time I made this…

It was a late July evening, the kids had purple-stained fingers from picking wild blackberries near the fence, and I had more berries than I knew what to do with. I didn’t feel like making a pie, but I did want something warm and homey — with that nostalgic “grandma’s ki...

The first time I made these…

I was craving key lime pie — but I didn’t want to deal with a full pie dish, and I definitely didn’t want to turn on the oven for long. It was one of those muggy afternoons when something cold and citrusy just hits different. 🍋

So I reworked my key lime pie recipe into...
