Favorite Easter & Spring Eats

  1. Chewy Coconut Macaroons Recipe (Gluten-Free) – Chewy Coconut Macaroons are the perfect cookie for everyone, especially our gluten-free friends who still want to enjoy spring cookies! These are easy to make and can be served plain or drizzled with your choice of chocolate and/or caramel.

2. Best Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting – This is for reals the best carrot cake in the galaxy, in my humble opinion, but dare I say lots of others agree 😉 This carrot cake is everything: moist, tender, flavorful, not overly sweet, can be made ahead, and keeps super well. The cream cheese frosting is other-worldly. YUM.

4. Savory Cheddar and Chive Scones Recipe – I usually make sweet scones, but when I do make savory scones, these are IT. These cheddar chive scones are tender, flaky and soft, and golden delicious. They’re the perfect addition to any brunch.
