This Lemon Cream Cheese Danish Braid is easy but impressive, and perfect for your next brunch! Crescent roll dough stuffed with lemon curd and sweetened cream cheese bakes up perfectly and so prettily! Back in the spring, I spent a day with Nick’s aunt learning how to can things! I’m not sure why it’s called…
Blueberry Lemon Ricotta Pancakes
These Blueberry Lemon Ricotta Pancakes are super silky and creamy. They’re packed with plump blueberries and brightened up with fresh lemon zest! Almost a year ago, after visiting an amazing breakfast place in Orange County, I recreated one of my favorites from the restaurant, these Blood Orange Ricotta Pancakes. The ricotta in the pancakes makes…
Lemon Poppy Seed Mini Muffins
These Lemon Poppy Seed Mini Muffins add a fresh burst of brightness to your breakfast or brunch! I mentioned briefly that I was at a bachelorette party a couple weekends ago. It was for my sister-in-law, and the weekend before that we hosted a shower for her. The shower’s theme was “Brunch & Bubbly,” where…
Strawberry Lemon Bars
Lately I’ve been finding myself with tons of fresh (and local) produce. More than I can possibly eat straight up without getting sick of it. A friend of mine has a lemon tree in her backyard and was nice enough to let me pick a bag of lemons from it. I thought it would be…
Lemon Cream Cheese Bars
Though chocolate desserts almost always win in my book, lemon and lime are a close second. Key lime pie has always been one of my favorites, and I love lemon bars. That fresh citrus and the sweet and tart combo wins me over. Though this lemon bar recipe is one of my favorites, it’s also…
Lemon Dewberry Muffins
Have you ever heard of a dewberry? If you aren’t from Texas, Mississippi or some other super Southern state, you probably haven’t. Until a couple months ago, I hadn’t either. One day, while out on a run, Nick spotted a thorny plant reminiscent of a blackberry bush, with tiny red berries on it. How he…
Seared Scallops with Wilted Spinach and Lemon Risotto
I think you’re officially a fat kid when you base your vacations and trips around food. My family has always done this (don’t judge) and now it’s been passed down to me. Luckily Nick is the same way, so it works out! Before we even left for our trip to Pensacola last weekend, we knew…
Aimee’s Double Lemon Bars
When I lived in Daytona Beach, Florida, my friend (and roommate when I lived in Paris) Aimee came to visit me. I had just started dating Nick, and decided to have him and some of his friends over for dinner, margaritas and a little Apples to Apples. I always love entertaining, but the real reason for…
