Why I chose this recipe: As many of you know, Quick Chick Kitchen is on Facebook. While Facebook has its drawbacks, one of the fun things about it to me is following many cooking and baking blogs and becoming inspired by their posts. The other day I saw a post for a poke cake that looked amazing. I looked in the liquor cabinet and saw…
Why I chose this recipe: I absolutely love Christmas. I believe in the magic of the season and that it brings out the best in everyone. While I know it is important to be generous year-round, it seems as though people are even more so during the holiday season. As you all know I do bake, but I step it up a notch during Christmastime.…
Why I chose this recipe: My children are almost all back to school, so I thought it would be a nice treat to make them something sweet to take the pain away of saying “so long” to summer and “Hello” to school. When it comes to dessert, I automatically am drawn to anything with dark, dense chocolate. Seriously, I can pass on most desserts, but…
Why I chose this recipe: My husband is obsessed with blueberries. We go blueberry picking at our favorite orchard in Pomfret, Vermont, every year at least once a summer (maybe twice). Yet, his obsession doesn’t stop there. Over the past five years he has planted over forty blueberry bushes at our home in Vermont. The bushes are already yielding enough blueberries so that he enjoys…

Why I chose this recipe: Even though I am hunkered down from Blizzard Stella, I refuse to let the two feet of new snow and ice dampen my excitement for Spring. Two days after the official start of Spring is my husband’s birthday. I love making his favorite dishes for his special day so I went on a quest to make the best key lime…
Why I chose this recipe: I love having people over. I love to make cakes. I love presenting a decadent large cake on a gorgeous cake stand for dinner parties. But when you have more people than your dining room table will sit or than one cake will serve, I find it easier and more fun to present a delicious cake in cupcake form. As…
Why I chose this recipe: Spending the holidays in Vermont always allows me ample time to bake in the kitchen. With a snowstorm on its way, I am feeling as though friends and family will enjoy a warm seasonal cake.

Why I chose this recipe: No matter the holiday you are celebrating this time of year, the holidays bring friends and family together for some laughter, love and holiday cheer. While you are enjoying your favorite people and toasting the season, set out these pecan bars, which are the perfect treat to serve your guests. This recipe uses one of my favorite things, Chocolate Ganache,…
Why I chose this recipe: When Fall hits, the temperatures start to drop and the leaves begin to turn, inevitably I have to go apple picking. It’s a must in my house. While picking the apples is always a highlight for all ages, I especially like to bring the bags and bags of apples home and to start baking. This Apple Cake with Caramel Drizzle…
