Ever tried Vietnamese coffee? It's stronger and darker than traditional American coffee, but often served counterbalanced with sweet, sugary condensed milk for one decadent caffeine fix. Now take that deliciousness and let's freeze it for the boldest, yet sweetest coffee ice cream. That's exactly what we did for a recent supper club gathering where the… Continue reading vietnamese coffee ice cream

iced ginger & pear bread
Fall is coming. I can feel it! The pumpkin spice lattes are officially available and the high this weekend is 75 degrees. The HIGH. This 8 month pregnant lady is so thankful that the 100+ degree plus days are a thing of the past. With fall comes the need for warm, sweet desserts that pair… Continue reading iced ginger & pear bread
90 second mug cake
Ever have that sweet tooth attack late at night, but don't want to commit to an entire piece of cake or pint of ice cream? (Though some nights call for that kind of commitment). Even well-before the sugar cravings of pregnancy hit, this mug cake has saved me from a few nighttime sweet tooth attacks.… Continue reading 90 second mug cake
peach breakfast crisp
Ever wake up starving on a weekend morning and think "Okay, what can I make for breakfast with things I already have in the kitchen?" That is exactly what inspired this peach breakfast crisp one sleepy Saturday morning. I had some super sweet, ripe peaches to work my way through from a recent trip to… Continue reading peach breakfast crisp
apple crumb pie
If pie and cobbler came together to make a baby, it would be crumb pie. (Sorry, at 6 months pregnant, I guess I have babies on the brain these days). You get the best of both worlds here--the flaky, buttery crust of a pie with the sugary-crunchy lid of a cobbler--all over warm cinnamon-infused apples.… Continue reading apple crumb pie
fig spice cake with buttermilk glaze
The inspiration for this fig cake arrived after receiving a tattered shoe box from my dad with some of my Nana's handwritten recipes and a couple of old church cookbooks. I noticed this recipe for fig cake in one of the laminated cookbooks, but had no idea what to expect. Because if you've ever seen… Continue reading fig spice cake with buttermilk glaze
pumpkin cinnamon rolls with vanilla cream cheese frosting
Pumpkin may be a fall staple, but I'll be the first to sign the petition to have pumpkin recipes all year long. These pumpkin cinnamon rolls are a Huber Thanksgiving break tradition, but should really be made anytime of the year. It can be tempting to unroll a pack of premade cinnamon rolls (I do… Continue reading pumpkin cinnamon rolls with vanilla cream cheese frosting
apple coffee cake
Pumpkin gets all the spotlight in the fall, but apples are just as synonymous with leaves changing, cooler weather and warm fireplaces in my mind. Coffee cake holds a special place in my heart too. When I was little, it was a treat to get to have those Entenmann's coffee cakes (anyone?) and you could… Continue reading apple coffee cake
the very best pumpkin pie
I wait all year for this pie! And it's the very best pumpkin pie out there, I promise. Even if you don't traditionally like pumpkin pie, I would challenge you to try this one. With the addition of cream cheese (plus a little butter and half-n-half because you know Thanksgiving calories aren't real), this pumpkin… Continue reading the very best pumpkin pie
all-butter homemade pie crust
I used to always buy the pre-made refrigerated/ frozen pie crusts, especially around the holidays. However, I didn't realize how easy it is to make your own with only 4 simple ingredients you likely already have on-hand! Plus, if you ever look at the ingredients in your favorite store-bought crusts, you may find things like:… Continue reading all-butter homemade pie crust
