To kick off the holidays, I wanted to share with you our 2018 Thanksgiving menu loaded with my favorite traditional recipes, and a few not so traditional ones! On top of that I’m showing

Spiced Honey Roasted Delicata Squash

This Spiced Honey Roasted Delicata Squash has quickly become my go-to recipe during this fall season! I discovered these beautiful Delicata Squashes a few years ago, picked up a few to give them a try and basically fell madly in love. The next year I planted them in my garden, and between me and the rabbits (they are lucky that they’re so dang cute!) we got more than we could

Smoked Rosemary & Apple Naked Cake

Happy first week of November, friends! Anyone else like me and desperately trying to hold on to what ever moments of fall may be left out there in the world, despite the fact that it’s blatantly snowing outside… wet, cold, nasty snow! I’m not ready and I’m going to remain in my denial of the impending winter for as long as possible!!! Luckily, this Smoked Rosemary & the best baby shower

15 Baking Tools I Cannot Live Without

How is it already October, friends?! This year has been flying by, not to mention the last month or so. I’ve been absolutely negligent here on Designs of Any Kind and hopefully things will start slowing down in the next few weeks so that I can finally focus on bringing you some creative and delicious things before the clock strikes 2019! A few months ago I did a post about

Spinach & Sausage Naan Flatbread with Lemon Honey

I’m always on the hunt for new appetizer ideas and this Spinach & Sausage Naan Flatbread with Lemon Honey, is a new favorite for me! I don’t know what it is about appetizers, but I will choose them any day over a heavy main course. Adam and I are notorious for going to restaurants and only ordering from their appetizer menu. Mainly because the smaller portions allow you to try

Blackberry Peach Moscato Cake

Blackberry Peach Moscato Cake… let’s be honest, you had me at Moscato! Sparkly, sweet wine wrapped up in a fruit-filled cake is a sugary dream come true! I’m tightly holding on to every last drop of summer with this delicious Blackberry Peach Moscato Cake! I could easily live off of a blackberry and peach combination for the rest of my life and never tire of it. Just the color combination alone

Mini Turkey Burgers with Peaches, Mozzarella, and Basil Aioli

Happy Thursday, friends! I feel like it’s been forever since I’ve done a recipe post here on Designs of Any Kind. I’ve been spending more time in the home/design world of this tiny space on the web. I’m genuinely excited about this recipe because, a) I LOVE anything mini when it comes to food, especially mini burgers! And, b) these mini turkey burgers are loaded with some of my favorite

My Favorite Finds of July

I’ve been a bit quiet around here these last few weeks and I’m excited to get back at it with a new series called, “My Favorite Finds”. With our new little abode slowly coming together with decor and furniture (I stress the slowly part, haha) I thought it would be fun to start sharing some of my favorite items we found from the month prior. Hopefully you will find a

How to Make Your Own Reed Diffusers

There’s nothing like walking into your home and having it smell incredible, am I right? I love having a candle or one of our 3 misting oil diffusers going any time we are at home. Problem is that I can only use the candles when I’m home and the water in the misting oil diffusers evaporate within a few hours, plus require electricity to run. Make sure you have customwater.com water

Rhubarb Rose Gin Sour

This Rhubarb Rose Gin Sour brings a really beautiful and delicious twist to the classic 1940s gin sour cocktail that’s made with gin, lemon juice, and sugar. More often than not, an egg white is added to the cocktail to give it a smooth, frothy consistency, that in my opinion brings this cocktail to the next level! Plus, I love how it looks, right? It’s like the cappuccino for mixed
