More is more with this supersized breakfast pastry! Layers of cinnamon-sugared dough are swirled into a giant sweet bun and baked over a pool of bubbling brown sugar syrup and pecans.

In 2014 I decided to transform my mother's cinnamon rolls recipe into one giant pastry baked in a cast iron skillet. Turns out, that was a good idea. We loved it, you guys loved it, and many people have made it or have been inspired to make their own versions. I love when that happens. (See my Giant Skillet Cinnamon Roll here.)

This week I returned to that idea with new inspiration and transformed my favorite sticky bun recipe into one giant sticky bun baked in a 10-inch cake pan. It has the same virtues as its predecessor, which is a greater ratio of soft, tender interior to crusty edge.

This simple peach cobbler is a summertime favorite. It's a great way to celebrate peaches at their peak sweetness!

There are a couple of peach cobbler recipes that I make regularly, but I'm adding one more to my repertoire. My usual recipe is this Skillet Peach Cobbler with Biscuit Crust. It's a little involved and makes a big cast iron pan full of cobbler that is wonderful to share with company, but these days it's just us. Smaller batches of baked goods makes sense for our household of 2.

This recipe largely focuses on the flavor of the fruit, which is spiced with cinnamon and cardamom. This gives the filling a cozy home-style flavor (which, apparently I am way into this summer!).

No ice cream maker? No problem! This ice cream is brimming with nostalgic chocolate malt flavor and whips up in about 10 minutes.

I made this ice cream for my husband because he loves an ice cream parlor-style chocolate malt better than just about any other dessert. He also loves malted milk balls, and when Sconza sent me a big bag of them, I knew they were destined for an extra-special treat for him.

This giant skillet snickerdoodle recipe is a fuss-free way to make cookies for a crowd! It's warmly spiced and bakes into a chewy, pillowy-edged cookie with a soft interior.

I almost waited to post this recipe in fall months, but ultimately decided that's just too long to wait! Warm chai spices are perfect for cozy feelings at any time of year. And personally, I've found they're especially nice on those mellow summer days when a thunderstorm rolls in, and all you can do is curl up on the couch with a snack and something to read. This recipe is great when you need those cozy, happy feelings that only come with something baked, deliciously buttery, and sweet.

These buttery pastries are filled with summer's best berries. Serve them with hot coffee or tea for a wonderful start to the day!

Summer usually means at least one trip to our favorite berry farm, where picking a gallon is an easy pleasure and fingers turn purple-red from secretly taste testing the goods. We're not venturing out much these days, so when I get my hands on fresh berries - even the store bought kind - I want to celebrate them! These scones are a beautiful way to use the season's best berries.

Banoffee Ice Cream Pie is a sweet way to beat summer's heat! Layers of milk caramel, whipped banana cream, nuts, and shaved chocolate are layered together atop a buttery graham cracker crust.

Tomorrow we say hello to July, and with it comes hot and humid weather here in the southern states. We won't be hosting any July Fourth picnics this year, but we'll still be looking for ways to celebrate - and cool off! This Banoffee Ice Cream Pie has been our preferred way to chill out as temperatures outside soar. It's simple to make and so refreshing!
