This is my first zucchini recipe on the blog. Hooray! Especially since I love all things zucchini.

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’ve had some healthier options on the blog lately. I think it has something to do with the pressure of bikini season being upon us, but it also has to do with feeling good. See, it’s totally possible to eat delicious desserts without loading in a ton of butter.

But a little bit for brown butter glaze? Heck yeah. And the bread is full of zucchini, so it all balances out!

Gingerbread Bundt Cake

I’m going to give you a bonus recipe today in honor of the upcoming holiday, since I’m taking Friday off. But stay tuned for another recipe AND a video tomorrow!

This gingerbread bundt cake is a winter spice wonder. It’s moist, soft, and oh so perfect for Christmas. And since I don’t do Christmas, I’ll just eat it all anyway.

As a perk, this cake is finished off with brown butter icing. It’s pretty much the best cake ever. No bias here, of course!

Cinnamon is the best right now. Anyone agree? And with the warm flavors of brown butter, it’s even more of a life necessity.

In bars, to be specific. Soft, lovely blondies. If we’re talking dangerous, these squares of heaven are it.

Not that you should run away now. Come closer. Take a look!

Who’s in the mood for easy?

This morning, I crossed an important item off my life bucket list: stand up paddleboarding, or SUP, as it’s known to the cooler masses. It felt really good to face my terror and prevail. More on that in a moment.

I figure that as long as I continue to face the challenges that scare me, it’s okay to ease up in other parts of life. Baking has always been that place of respite for me, and this apple cake is no exception. It’s quick, simple, and slathered in an unbelievable brown butter icing.
