I HAVE BEEN KEEPING THE BIGGEST SECRET OF MY LIFE!!!! 🥹

I’M ON SEASON 2 OF NEXT LEVEL BAKER!!! 🎄

I genuinely don’t even know how to put into words what this means to me. I grew up watching baking competition shows, dreaming about what it would be like to step into one of those kitchens. Never in a MILLION years did I imagine I’d actually get the chance.

From baking in the kitchen with my mom as a little girl, to sharing recipes from my own kitchen with all of you, to somehow finding myself standing in a kitchen with @gordongram, @carlaphall, and @waylynnlucas!!!!! I still can’t believe I’m typing that sentence.

To everyone who has followed along, made one of my recipes, or supported this little corner of the internet, THANK YOU. I genuinely wouldn’t be here without you.

Catch me on NEXT LEVEL BAKER, premiering November 19 at 9/8c on @foxtv and streaming the next day on @hulu!!!

SOMEONE PINCH ME!!!! ❤️

Chicken Bacon Ranch Pull-Apart Bread might be one of the best ways to use a loaf of sourdough. We’re stuffing every little crevice with garlic-ranch butter, seasoned chicken, crispy bacon, and sharp cheddar before baking until golden and melty.

The secret is cutting the bread in a crosshatch pattern without slicing all the way through, so every piece pulls apart with a little bit of everything.

Another challenger enters the Game Day Food Draft! Where would YOU rank this one?

Comment RECIPE and I’ll send you my Smash Burger Dip recipe! 🍔

This week’s Game Day Food Draft challenger is giving us some competition on the board. And I think the sesame bun crostini might need to become a permanent addition to my game day spreads.

The best part? You can prep the burger sauce and beef ahead of time, then assemble and bake the dip right before everyone arrives. One less thing to worry about on game day.

Would you have ranked this one higher or lower?

Pick 3 things that make your day noticeably better and start there. They don’t have to be impressive, expensive, or take much time. They just have to work for you🥰

Game day means I’m in charge of the important stuff: the dip.

This sausage dip has been a game day staple in our family for YEARS and it could not be easier:

1 package mild Italian sausage
1 jar chunky mild salsa
8 oz cream cheese, softened

Cook the sausage first, breaking it into small crumbles. Press the softened cream cheese into the bottom of a baking dish (bonus points for a cute pie dish), pour the salsa over top and mix until combined. Add the cooked sausage and mix again.

Bake at 350°F for 20–25 minutes, or until everything is hot and bubbling around the edges.

Serve warm with tortilla chips and that’s pregame handled.

Ending this year’s Fall Baking Series with Salted Toasted Milk Caramel Blondies and I genuinely think we saved one of the best for last.

If you already love brown butter, toasted milk powder needs to be your next baking experiment. These are thick, fudgy, salty-sweet, loaded with homemade caramel, and basically my dream of double brown butter in blondie form.

Seven days of completely different bakes and I’ve had SO much fun with this series. Now I need to know which recipe was your favorite!!

Fall Baking Series goes savory today with these Sage Sausage & Sharp Cheddar Stuffed Pretzel Buns!!

This is one of those recipes I can already see myself coming back to all fall. Make them for football Sunday, set them out as a warm fall appetizer, or serve them with soup and call it dinner. And if homemade soft pretzels have always sounded like too much work, I promise these are way more approachable than they look.

Definitely saving this one for every excuse I have to make them again😅

Fall Baking Series Day 5: Pumpkin Sticky Toffee Date Cake 🤎

I knew this one was good, but after the first bite it immediately became my favorite of the series so far. The pumpkin is subtle, the dates make the cake unbelievably moist, and soaking the whole thing in warm homemade toffee takes it completely over the top.

And yes, you absolutely need to serve it warm with vanilla ice cream + even more toffee.

This is officially the recipe that made me understand why people bake with miso. The combination of maple, tart cranberry and that sweet-salty miso crumb is SO good.

If miso in a dessert has ever made you hesitate, let this be the one that changes your mind.

Day 4 of my week-long fall baking series 🍂 Come back tomorrow for recipe 5!

These Salted Caramel Corn + White Chocolate Cookies are chewy, buttery, sweet, salty, and filled with crunchy pockets of caramel corn. A little cornmeal in the dough ties everything together, and flaky salt on top is a must.

Definitely one of the more unexpected bakes in this year’s series, but it just works.

See you tomorrow for Day 4 of my Fall Baking Series! 🤎
