Perfect Buttermilk Cake

Buttermilk Cake is tender and moist, with a crackly exterior from a coating of granulated sugar. Enjoy a slice with or without a simple glaze!

Buttermilk is the secret to achieving a tender, springy sponge with all the moisture that keeps your coming back for a second slice! That is important to remember because many bundt cakes are dense and a bit heavy, especially when made with richer flavors like chocolate or red velvet.

Tender and moist, with just the right amount of sweetness, this simple dessert is sure to be any winner for any occasion.

What I love most about bundt cakes is that they allow you to enjoy thick, generous slices without any stacking or frosting needed!

You can keep the batter simple, like with this buttermilk cake recipe, or create intense flavors such as caramel glazed apple or death by chocolate.

Bundt pans aren’t just for cakes either! Use one to make this Cheesy Meatball Pull-Apart Bread or a Savory Monkey Bread for breakfast.

Toasted Walnuts (2 Ways)

Toasted walnuts add the perfect amount of flavor and crunch to any recipe. Try maple candied walnuts with yogurt or as a topping for salad!

Toasted Walnuts

If you love a good walnut, then this recipe is for you! The natural flavor of the nut shines while the sticky coating adds just the right amount of sweetness.

As the maple candied walnuts cool, they become extra crunchy — perfect for snacking! It will be hard to leave them sitting on the sheet pan, but the wait is worth every second.

Sprinkle some over a spinach strawberry salad or homemade ice cream for a pop of sweetness and crunch.

Or, make a simple trail mix with dried cranberries or raisins and your favorite chocolate chips!

Blueberry Banana Smoothie + Video

My blueberry banana smoothie is creamy, healthy, and delicious. Blend up this easy fruit smoothie recipe for breakfast, dessert, or whenever!

I really can’t get enough smoothies in my diet. Not only are they delicious, but they’re a great way to get some much needed nutrients and energy boosters into your system. And did I mention they’re delicious?

Blueberry Banana Smoothie

My blueberry and banana smoothie stands out among the millions of other fruit smoothie recipes out there for a few reasons.

For starters, it’s gorgeous to look at. But aside from that, because it's a milk smoothie, it has the perfect blend of icy and creamy that keeps this drink from being too thick or heavy. With a dollop of honey, you get extra nutrients plus a floral sweetness that’s absolutely heavenly.

I have so many other frozen sweets that I can’t wait for you to try! My pomegranate, orange, and mango shake recipes are super quick and tasty. And, of course, nutritious.

And for one that’s not-so-nutritious, check out this impossibly good Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup blender recipe (and 10 others)!
