Ingredients for Homemade Buttercream Butter: I almost always specify unsalted butter in my recipes then add salt back in. I do this because different manufacturers put in various amounts of salt and I don’t want anyone to make something too salty or not salted enough when using my recipes. If you only have salted butter on hand then go ahead and use it. You can add more salt to taste if needed....

Gluten-free Vegan Cauliflower Fritters or Burgers When it comes to vegetable fritters recipes, I’m obsessed! Along with hearty chickpea broccoli fritters, zucchini vegetable fritters, red lentil patties, and stuffed potato cakes, I adore these simple cauliflower fritters/ patties.

I’m on a cinnamon roll kick! Swirls of cinnamon sugar nestled in between layers of homemade sweet dough, baked on top of a bed of the worlds easiest caramel and crunchy pecan mixture. These sticky buns are just out of this world. I’m not saying these might be better than any cinnamon roll I’ve ever had, except yeah, I kinda am. 🤷🏻♀️ It started with the cinnamon swirl bread I shared with you guys this past December, and after that, it’s like I just can’t get cinnamon scented baked goods out of my mind....
