Raspberry and white chocolate. What’s a better combination? Certain foods simply pair well with one another and this one stands the test of time. Raspberry jam and white chocolate chips wrapped around a delicate enriched dough and smothered in thick, creamy, cream cheese frosting. Yes please!

Grandma’s Rocky Road
I’m pretty sure most people relate rocky road to rocky road ice cream. However, my family and myself all relate it to my grandma’s annual rocky road candy. She makes a batch of this tasty sweet treat every holiday season. It’s usually gone within a couple of days and I’m always eager for more.
Coffee Infused Dark Chocolate Cake with White Chocolate Truffles
We baked this cake and completed it late Sunday night. Within two days it was gone! Yes my dad had one slice but Alex and I powered through it and trust me I’m not complaining. If you are a fan of chocolate, dark and white, then you will love this cake. It’s infused with fresh brewed coffee in the batter and instant coffee in the frosting as well.
Lemon Loaf Cake with Raspberry Swirl
I know I’m a dietitian but I have to confess… In college my go to breakfast every morning was a Starbucks grande cinnamon dulce latte with soy milk, an extra shot of espresso and one lemon loaf cake. #whitegirl #ASU #sundevil4life Going to Starbucks was a ritual my father and I shared ever since middle school. Every morning, we would get in line, order our drinks, get a pastry and then he would drive me to school. Now that I’m married and based off society standards, an official adult, I realize how expensive certain things are and I genuinely believe I can prepare better coffee and tasty treats at home on my own.
Raspberry Jam
Making jam has been around for centuries and something I personally have only recently started to try out. This raspberry jam recipe is so simple and uses basic ingredients with fresh raspberries, lime juice and sugar. There’s no additional pectin required because the raspberries contain a natural form of pectin which helps solidify the jam. This recipe makes enough jam to fill 1 small 16 oz mason jar. It only lasts about one month but you can utilize it in many different ways. You can add 1 tsp of jam to plain Greek yogurt for a light snack, pair it with brie and crackers for a fancy appetizer, mix it with your favorite dessert such as my Lemon Loaf Cake with Raspberry Swirl for a delightful treat or naturally spread it on toast with butter.
