Red Velvet Cake

February 11, 2022

Tis the season for red velvet cake and cupcakes! Sarah is an avid red velvet fan, and truth-be-told I usually don't seek it out. That being said, I am a very big fan of the recipe below! I'll be transparent, this is not a standard southern red velvet cake with subtle vinegar tang. But it's similar and boasts a delicious moist crumb with just slightly more chocolate than normal, while still letting the cream cheese frosting have the starring role.

Fresh Milled Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

December 13, 2021

These soft, decadent Crinkle Cookies feature the iconic powdery, cracked surface we all love. The fresh flour adds a tenderness that is irresistible and the espresso powder adds a deep, rich chocolate flavor and makes them stand apart from their more typical mega-sweet counterparts.

They will be very soft when they come out of the oven and setup as they cool. If you bake them for too long, the centers will not be fudgy. The fudgy soft center paired with the slight crunch on the outside is to die for!

Fresh Milled Gingersnap Cookies

December 01, 2021

These are the soft chewy gingersnaps of my childhood. They are delicious year-round, but especially at Christmastime. The outside has a slight crisp and the inside boasts a light tenderness that will leave you wanting to eat the entire batch! Dip these cookies in white chocolate for an extra decadent flare, or top with a roasted marshmallow for a spiced s'mores twist (see variations below). This holiday favorite is simple to make a great addition to any cookie exchange or Christmas party. With seven variations to choose from, we are sure it will become a family classic.

Easy Berry Cobbler (Pie Cake)

July 03, 2021

This cobbler is literally the EASIEST thing to make. It is my go-to whenever I need a quick dessert and is a must-have for summer dinner parties (or anytime really)! It mixes together in just 10 minutes and uses our light and sweet Dessert Berry Blend. The top bakes into golden, crispy perfection with just the right amount of crunch, and I love to serve it warm with a scoop of ice cream on top. It’s the perfect summer treat for kids and adults alike! Plus, it's extremely versatile- you can use any fruit you have on hand. Fair warning: everyone will want seconds!

Fresh Flour Whole Grain Pie Crust with all butter

Fresh Flour Pie Crust

May 31, 2021

This homemade buttery fresh flour pie crust uses 100% whole grains, via our four grain Dessert Berry Blend, and 100% real butter. It is flaky and can hold up to the savory weight of a chicken pot pie or sweet filling of a delicious apple pie. I am a huge pie fan, but I am also pretty particular, because all crusts are not created equal. I had arguably the best all-purpose crust recipe from my grandma, so I was initially nervous about fresh flour for pie crusts. I realize this is probably a non-issue for most people, but my family and I are rotisserie-chicken-pot-pie lovers, so I'm thrilled to share what I've been working on and what we've been loving. This one is loved by my family and I love the added nutrients and fiber they get while eating this delicious dessert!
