Sufganiyot (n): A jelly donut which originated in Israel and is eaten around the world for Hanukkah. They’re light and fluffy, deep fried until golden, filled with sweet jam, and topped with powdered sugar. YUM. I don’t care what time of year it is – I can literally always go for a good jelly donut.

One of my favorite baked goods is the corn muffin. I know, it’s an odd flex, but I have a soft spot for them. My mom used to get a 4 pack of the big ones from the grocery store, and we’d heat them up and eat them with butter for breakfast and I LOVED […]
Pumpkin pie is one of pumpkin’s best forms. It’s lightly sweet, has a great, soft texture, and a silkiness that leaves other pies shaking in their boots. However, making an entire pumpkin pie isn’t always reasonable. That’s what initially led me to create the recipe for my Paleo Mini Pumpkin Pies, and now, these pumpkin […]

I kicked the fun off with Healthier Chocolate Dirt Cupcakes yesterday, which are a lighter take on a childhood classic, complete with […]
Cheesecake is one of the most indulgent desserts there is, and it is oh-so-satisfying.However, it’s anything but good for you. Typical cheesecake is made with loads of sugar to balance the tartness of the cream cheese, plus a buttery crust, sugary fillings, etc. If you’re following WW, a typical slice of cheesecake also clocks a […]
Challah is one of those things that I’ve always loved to eat but never dared to make. Rising time? That intricate braid? No thanks. Then a global pandemic hit. All of the sudden, I was willing to try baking just about anything. So I got to it. I kneaded, I punched the dough, and I […]
