Baileys Shamrock Cookies have Irish cream in the filling and in the cookies, and are pretty much a party waiting to happen! It’s made up of chocolate cake layers infused with Irish cream, and a cookies and cream filling that’ll make you want to grab a spoon and call it a day! The Irish Whiskey Layer Cake is one of those cakes that should be made all year, and most definitely on Saint Patrick’s Day! Layers of whiskey infused chocolate cake, filled with Irish cream buttercream and topped with spiked mascarpone whipped cream!

Happy Valentine’s Day, sweets! You didn’t think I’d let this day go by without sharing an epic dessert, did you? No matter what your thoughts on this day may be, I think we can all agree chocolate is ALWAYS a good idea, especially when we’re talking about this showstopping Brownie Toffee Trifle! I absolutely love trifles and I think they have party and entertaining written all over them. Add chocolate to the mix and I’m just about ready to throw myself in the bowl! I’m partnering with my friends at Farberware today and taking the classic brownie trifle we all grew up with and giving it a major upgrade

It’s been cookie central, or maybe I should say sprinkle central, in Buttercream Blondie land, and these frosted sugar cookies may be my favorite yet! I’ve tweaked the recipe over the years to create a cookie that’s slightly soft in the middle, while still maintaining that crisp, slightly sandy edge you would expect from a classic sugar cookie. One of the best things about these pretty little sugar cookies is they’re one of those recipes I refer to as a holiday helper. I know it’s absolute torture to wait, and I’m the first to admit I basically burn my mouth because I cannot even wait 5 minutes for cookies to cool, but I promise it’s so worth the wait!

It’s been ages since I’ve shared a savory recipe with you guys, and I think bacon is the best way to break the ice! This bacon apple wild rice is the next recipe I created in partnership with my friends at Farberware, and it’s one of those recipes I refer to as a holiday helper. Between family, friends, traveling, hosting, planning, and prepping, there’s a lot going on, and that’s one of the many reasons I’m obsessed with this dish. While it’s a shoe in for Thanksgiving, this is one of those dishes that’s great throughout the fall and holiday season.
