Sweet and perfect for breakfast, this cinnamon swirl bread tastes like French toast while being soft and pillowy. Your house will smell delicious as this bakes up. You can omit the cinnamon swirl if you want a lightly-sweet oatmeal bread that is similar to the Honey Oat bread at a certain fast-food sandwich establishment that is also a mode of underground public transit (wink).

I like offering up recipes that you can make your own. Thus, the choose your own adventure oatmeal cookie! A really delicious, soft and chewy oatmeal cookie with a guideline for how much mix-ins to add so you can truly customize it.

I love the show Ted Lasso and shortbread cookies play a part in the show. There is an official Ted Lasso shortbread recipe which is great. But I have made a few tweaks to the recipe to make them, Ted Lasso shortbread à la Kelly.

My dear friend and producer of the Andrew Carter Morning Show on CJAD 800, Sarah Deshaies asked me to test drive Donna Kelce’s famous chocolate chip cookie recipe ahead of the Superbowl on Sunday.

I wanted to make a soft, chewy cookie with the flavor profile of a baklava. So the honey nut ‘baklava’ cookie was born! These cookies have honey, nuts, orange blossom water and cinnamon with the texture of a cookie/ whoopie pie. I hope you love them!

This pineapple salsa is really fresh and has a nice sweetness and acidity. If you have a ripe avocado hanging around, add it too! It is great with tortilla chips or as a topping for fish tacos. Add a can black beans and it makes a great summer side salad.

This roasted tomatillo salsa is a great dip for tortilla chips but it is also very versatile. I use it as a sauce for tacos or nachos. I also use it as a base for green chili. It is so good!

This recipe is a riff on an incredible cookie recipe from Sarah Kieffer’s “100 Cookies”. Her recipe is for Double Chocolate Espresso cookies which are delightful. But, this one came from something of a Christmas tradition. Every year, I get at least one Chocolate Orange in my stocking. They are delicious and make a really lovely addition to this cookie.

The Snoodle cookie has the cinnamon sugar of a snickerdoodle but the feeling of a thumbprint cookie and the added appeal of dulce de leche and a drizzle of chocolate.

There is something really special about what warm, cozy fall spices add to pumpkin purée. I know that pumpkin spice is a very visceral topic. I won’t get a pumpkin spice latte but I do love it in a baked good.

I love baking muffins. They are such a lovely sweet treat but I prefer when they aren’t super sweet. I also really love bringing them to a brunch. These are a fun spin on the usual banana bread.

I adore making this mango black bean salad in the summer. It is a really lovely combination of sweet mango, crunchy veggies, creamy black beans and bright lime. The salad is also really colorful so it’s a show-stopper in both presentation and taste. This recipe is the basic one I make but it is really customizable.

I do not have an ice cream maker and as a result have tried desperately over the years to find a recipe for no-churn ice cream that I like. I finally perfected one! This decadent no-churn pistachio ice cream is made using pistachio cream. But if you are not a fan of pistachios, you can swap it out for chocolate-hazelnut spread.

When I want a brownie, I want one that is dense, fudgy and super chewy. No cakey brownies in this house! This one is based off a few different recipes with some additional tweaks to make it special.

Are Deviled Eggs considered a vintage recipe at this point? Not sure about that one but I really like them! I feel like they are great for brunch. I use a few ingredient swap-outs by using spicy brown mustard and Kewpie mayonnaise but Dijon mustard and regular mayonnaise work great.

My Pouding Chômeur recipe strays ever so slightly from the traditional recipe. In this case, I use maple sugar instead of the traditional granulated sugar in the cake (because why not up the mapley goodness, no?). I also add a bit of orange zest to the syrup. This is completely optional but I find it adds a little something special to dish.

These cookies are like an oatmeal cookie, a granola bar and trail mix had a baby. Not super sweet, filled with dried fruit, seeds and nuts and super customizable. And I didn’t use refined sugar! I made these cookies with date sugar.

Every other Wednesday, I join Andrew Carter on CJAD 800 to share a recipe! This morning, we discussed Irish Cream, Irish Coffee and gave a quick mention to Soda Bread!

White chocolate macadamia nut cookies are definitely one of my top three cookie flavors. Macadamia nuts are a bit pricey but they are well-worth splurging on if you want to make these cookies at home.
