Well guys, the time is here! I’ve been mentioning my book on and off in my posts throughout the past couples months, but I am beyond excited to finally share all the details with you!!
Let me give you a little back story. Sometime late last summer, my publisher Page Street reached out to me about my interest in writing a cookbook. I nearly fell off my chair. I immediately called my boyfriend and told him about the email. I was excited, scared and in denial all at the same time.
Over the next couple of months, we developed the concept, a table of contents, and some sample recipes and photos. Soon, we were off and running! Once we got going, I ended up shooting every recipe in my cookbook! When I first started the process, I was so terrified to actually shoot the recipes myself. Through the process, I have seen my skills and my eye for detail improve so much! With the added photography on top of my blog posts, I spent a lot more time with my camera.
So are you ready to hear more??
My cookbook is titled No-Bake Treats: Incredible Unbaked Cheesecakes, Icebox Cakes, Pies and More. There are 80 recipes and nearly every one is brand new! Of course I included a few of my blog favorites including my Apple Pie Lasagna and my S’mores Lasagna. Most importantly, every recipe in my book doesn’t require you to turn on the oven!!
I even get to share the cover with you. The cover recipe is my Blackberry White Chocolate Cheesecake. It is one of my favorites from the book and I just love the beautiful blackberry swirl throughout the cheesecake.
I can’t begin tell you the amount of butter, powdered sugar, cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, graham crackers and Oreos that were harmed in the making of this book! I’m not sorry about it. Please tell me those are your favorite ingredients, too.
Throughout the chapters in my book, you’ll find:
Cheesecakes
Pies
Layered desserts
Icebox cakes
Tarts
Ice cream and frozen treats
Cookies, Bars and More
Puddings and parfaits
I’ve also packed this cookbook full of helpful tips and tricks on working with no-bake desserts including all the different tools that will help make you successful. I’ve partnered with Wilton to help you get all you need to begin working with my book. So be sure to check out the giveaway below.

I’ve put everything I have into this book, and I can’t wait for you guys to see it. On top of writing my book, I did my best to maintain my blog and still continued to work at my full-time job. I am thankful they were flexible with my hours, allowing me to adjust my schedule for extra days to work on the book. I definitely could not have done it without the help of my family and friends!
A few of my favorite bloggers helped share a couple recipes on my site and I also couldn’t do it without the help of my assistant Ashley. Ah yes, I can’t forget everyone who volunteered to test recipes for me! SERIOUSLY! Thank you!!!
My family and my boyfriend have been my rock through this. My boyfriend has wiped away my tears, ran out to the grocery store, helped clean the house and made sure I was eating. He also spent a good amount of time editing my book. Thanks babe!
And my parents who also spent an incredible amount of time editing and testing my recipes! I can’t wait for you guys to see the final product! In case you’re wondering what it looks like to write a cookbook, see the photo below.
