Gianduja-Stracciatella Gelato
I’m not Italian, but I play one in my kitchen☺️. When I cook and bake Italian recipes, I can only imagine how much better they would taste if I was, in fact, eating them in Italy. I came across this gelato recipe in David Lebovitz’, “The Perfect Scoop”. It did NOT dissapoint! The texture is…

Rainbow Mini Egg NYC Cookies
Last year I made a different version of the Mini Egg NYC cookie. This recipe is slightly different, but the overall flavor and texture is still delicious.

Brownie Peanut Butter Cookies
I’ve been wanting to make a copycat Crumbl cookie ever since I had a conversation with my daughter-in-love, Melissa. I searched and found a recipe by Whitney Wright @saltandbaker. These cookies are inspired by that recipe…thank you Whitney! These confections are like having a peanut butter cookie wrapped in brownie blanket, and topped with chocolate…
