Pepper Jack Cheddar Biscuits

Fluffy, cheddar biscuits are the perfect accompaniment to any meal. I used Cabot Pepper Jack Cheddar in this recipe and it provides the perfect kick of heat and pairs nicely with the smoked paprika. Feel free to use a regular cheddar for this recipe. Tips for making biscuits: -Do not overwork the butter. There should be pieces of butter still visible. -Make sure the dough is cold, it is okay…

These cheddar cheese filled rolls have become an absolute favorite. They are great along side a salad, pasta, omelets or on their own. The rolls are soft and slightly sweet which makes the Cabot Vermont Sharp Cheddar cheese the perfect filling. They’re topped with a garlic butter. It is important to grate your garlic very finely, as the garlic butter is brushed on after baking. These rolls keep…

The most common question I receive in regards to baking is, “where can I find alcohol free vanilla?” And there are a few options, one of which is LorAnn Oils. I was delighted to learn about LorAnn Oils alcohol free vanilla extract. I have been using this product in my baking over the past six weeks and have loved it in the following preparations: chocolate chip cookies, brownies, buttercream,…

Queso with Cabot Cheddar

Is there anything more delicious than a velvety cheese dip to enjoy on Super Bowl Sunday? The flavors of this Queso Dip are perfect paired! Garlic, onion, tomatoes, cumin and jalapeños do a perfect dance inside this rich cheesy sauce. Queso is a Tex-Mex dip enjoyed by millions. This recipe uses evaporated milk, which helps prevent the cheese from clumping. This recipe can be made in the crock…

My family has declared my brownies the best in the land. Maybe they’re biased. Or maybe they are. Either way, my brownies are amazing. I saw this brownie cheesecake dessert on Instagram and knew I had to recreate it. The original post, by Camilla Hamid is what inspired this recipe.

One of my favorite *secrets* shared with hannah is licking the spatula after baking. I am not concerned with the raw egg, but the raw flour, which can transmit salmonella. The trick to this edible cookie dough, is NO eggs and heat treating the flour to kill any bacteria. Heat treating takes less than 10 minutes and is basically just baking your all purpose flour. This way we can enjoy cookie…

The Perfect Grilled Cheese

Is there anything more nostalgic than a grilled cheese sandwich? I absolutely love making grilled cheese on a rainy day. This is my favorite, as it is packed with flavor. I used Cabot Cheese

Extra Sharp Vermont Cheddar and paired it with fig jam. The sharp cheddar is perfectly paired with the sweet jam. The Cabot Extra Sharp Cheddar has a slight tang, and crumble. I like to shred the cheese…

Gluten Free Pumpkin Cookies

Its starting to feel like fall and that means pumpkin everything! I don’t have much experience with gluten free baking, expect for French Macarons which are naturally GF as they are made with almond flour.

I have been using Hearthy Foods halal gelatin for several years and finally got around to trying the fruit flours! I was so excited to try the banana and pumpkin flours as they only have one…

Vanilla Sheet Cake with Strawberries

I first made this cake in 2017. I had spent a Saturday morning picking fresh strawberries and I baked this cake later that afternoon. This recipe has been in drafts for an entire year. I finally got around to editing and sharing. And it comes with an important message.

Just a few weeks ago, George Floyd’s murder at the hands of the police, was viewed by the world. His death, along with…

One of the easiest one bowl recipes. I love this recipe for its simplicity! And it is absolutely delicious. I add turbinado sugar to the tops for extra crunch! It is optional but highly recommended.

This recipe calls for 1/2 cup smashed banana, which is one medium banana. If your banana is smaller or larger, that is okay. You can also substitute for equal parts apple sauce, if you do not like…

Focaccia is an Italian Flatbread. It is a yeasted dough and can include many flavor profiles, such as rosemary garlic, olive and tomato, and my take– a habanero cheddar.

This recipe is made using CabotHabanero Cheddar. I especially love the little zing of heat in this recipe. It is perfect with the sweet cherry tomatoes that freckle the top of this bread. If you’d like something more mild,…

There has been an increase of biscoff desserts on my Instagram feed. I first had these cookies on Delta flights and instantly fell in love. I saw these cookies in my very rare grocery store trips and picked up both the cookies and the cookie butter… You will need one package of each for this recipe.

I shared my biscoff banana bread recipe in 2014. And it is amazing 😀

While I love a…

As I write this during a global pandemic, I want to share that creating and sharing has not been easy. I do not want to be insensitive to those who are sick, and to those who are loosing loved ones to COVID-19. But I was reminded that we as creators can be a source of happiness and light.

This recipe was used at my bakery, butter bear shop. The original recipe can from a previous bakery and…

The Creamiest Mac & Cheese

I’ve made a lot of macaroni and cheese. Some good, some not so good and one in particular was great-it is this recipe. It begins with the most incredible sauce and that is made with Cabot cheese. I absolutely love their Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese for this recipe as it balances out the heavy cream.

One of the keys of this recipe is to begin with a roux, adding the heavy cream in first and then…
