Desserts
Chewy Lemon Butter Bars
Perfect little lemon bars with a shortbread cookie crust, chewy lemony filling and topped with a sweet glaze. I made these a couple days ago and they turned out almost perfect! I had to adjust my original recipe a tiny bit just to make them a bit less tangy and […]
Easy No-Bake Cherry Cheesecake
This no-bake cheesecake is one of the easiest thing you’ll ever make, it takes no time at all and it’s incredibly YUM. I’ve seen there are similar recipes out there for this kind of pie and honestly, there’s no need to try any others- this is the one! Instead of […]

Simple and super yummy. Who doesn’t love cookie dough? Well this is basically edible cookie dough…in fudge form. It’s smooth, not tooo sweet, with chunky bits of chocolate and walnut. Oh my! Definitely a great treat to grab-and-go. Enjoy! 🙂

So, apparently zeppole comes from an Italian tradition and […]
