Carrot-Spice Cake Balls

 Soft spice cake meets cream cheese bliss, dipped in dreamy white chocolate and decked out for spring.

You know how some people wake up in the morning, stretch their arms out wide, and say things like, “Let’s go for a run!” or “What a perfect day to organize the garage!”?

Yeah, I’m not one of those people.

But I am the kind of person who wakes up, stretches both arms toward the sky, and says…
“Let’s put vegetables in dessert and cover it in chocolate!!”

And that, my friendly kitchen sidekicks, is how these Carrot-Spice Cake Balls were born.

Before you ask, yes — there are real carrots in here. And no, you can’t see them after we roll them into little cake balls and dip them in melty white chocolate magic. It’s like carrot cake got dressed up for a spring party and invited sprinkles to DJ.

And guess what? 

You’re totally invited too. 

So grab your aprons (or your superhero capes), and let’s turn a boring ol’ cake mix into edible springtime happiness.

Decadent Fudgy Brownies - From Scratch!

Thick and fudgy homemade brownies with a crinkly top—better than boxed mix and easy to make from scratch!

Brownies are a little bit of a contention point in our house. My husband is absolutely positive that the best brownies in the entire world are the kind you make from a pouch. I tell him that the very best brownies in the entire world are the kind you eat. With your mouth. Because brownies are never wrong. Unless they are Brussels sprouts masquerading as brownies. And if that's the case, we have bigger problems in this world than I thought.

These brownies are just like the kind you make from the pouch you get at the grocery store. Except better. They are every bit as chocolatey and fudgy, but they are also a little thicker so you get a good solid mouthful every time you bite into it. And... they can actually be picked up without your hands taking a brownie bath. (Not that there is anything wrong with a brownie bath.)

Simplified Oven Baked Suppli

Looking for a deliciously healthy Italian suppli recipe? Look no further! This recipe is sure to please everyone at the table.

Suppli are delicious Italian rice croquettes filled with mozzarella cheese and served with marinara sauce or ragù . They’re great as either an appetizer or as an accompaniment to meat, fish or poultry main dishes, but you can also serve them as the main course themselves! This recipe will teach you how to make suppli in the oven instead of deep frying them. I promise that your guests will love them just as much as the traditional fried variation!

Macaroni and Cheese - The Ultimate Comfort Food

 

I'm a firm believe that every person should have a signature dish. I wouldn't say that this is mine, but I also wouldn't NOT say that this is my signature dish. To be honest, I'm not really sure what defines a Signature Dish. 

I mean... I've made a lot of really impressive foods and desserts in my lifetime. I've definitely created more complicated recipes that only exist in my head. But I've spent decades of my life making this deliciously cheesy carb-filled dish of wonder and delight for the people I love most in the whole world. I think that's worth some kind of title at least.
