Hello world! I'm just taking a quick (ok, not so quick) break from my studying (which I have been doing all day...on a saturday...) to bring you a delicious recipe that just can't wait till after my exams! Even though I have so many better things to do (like study), this dessert is my top priority. And because I have so many things to do, I'm going to keep this blog post short. So no essay from me today (YAY!) lol. However, I will post a ton of photos, because, well, why not?

Now that it's officially cranberry season, I have to take advantage of all the yumminess and make fresh cranberry treats! I bought a bag a few days ago, not knowing exactly what I was going to make. I looked for recipes, trying to find something that looks good and is unique. I was thinking of making scones, bread or a breakfast bake. But then I found this recipe from Martha Stewart and new I had to give it a try! All of the comments were positive (which is super important) and helpful. Many reviewers noted a few changes and so I followed their advice and the Cranberry Duff recipe turned out perfect! The cake is soft and buttery, with a crispy buttery crust. It is then topped with sugary tart cranberries and toasted pecans. Doesn't that sound amazing?! It sounds amazing and most importantly it is amazing. 

My husband and I skipped dinner to eat this dessert. I know, that's not exactly healthy. But whatever. We ate healthy all week, so we can treat ourselves on Saturday ;) As i've mentioned before, it's really lovely and heartwarming when someone else likes the things you bake or cook! Today it was my husband, who really enjoyed the Cranberry Duff. These were his exact words: "Mmm this is really good. I love the buttery crust! Mmmm I want more!" And though only two people have tasted the dessert (hubby and I), you can be assured that this cake is awesome and is worth making! I am definitely going to make this for family dinners and holidays in the upcoming months and years.

I hope you all give this yummy dessert a try this fall season. It would be perfect for Thanksgiving, even Christmas. But if you're like me, who can't wait that long to eat wonderful foods, make it on a random weekend when you have an hour of spare time :)

P.S. We finished the entire cake before the evening was over. That's crazy embarrassing, but oh well. The cranberry duff is just that good. Click "read more" for the recipe! :)
