The easy breakfast bread I make on repeat all summer long! ☀️

A batch of super quick zucchini bread sets us up with moist, delicious, grab-and-go breakfast bread all week!

The recipe makes two loaves, so you can freeze one for later or give it to a neighbor.

I’ve made it undetectably dairy-free here, and the recipe has swaps to make it vegan and gluten-free, too.

🍆 Comment ‘zucchini’ and I’ll send you the recipe so you can enjoy it and share it all summer long!

Happy baking!

“Take a picture of me with the Goodies.” 🍪

Since moving to MA, I’ve been wanting to get to know more of our neighbors. But you know how it is. Work, schedules, activities... life flies by.

So I was especially excited for this year’s block party! The neighborhood has been doing an annual block party for years, and this was the first one I was in town for.

Of course, bringing cookie bars was a must! I made Chocolate Salted Pretzel S’mores cookie bars (dairy-free) and created custom labels to match the invitation. You know I love a theme.

As soon as I set them on the food table, kids and adults alike started eyeing the Goodies. Before long, the tray was empty.

Introductions were made, conversations sparked, and I left with phone numbers of other neighborhood ladies and talks of getting together soon.

Grateful for such a friendly community. And for an excuse to make themed Goodies. ;)

🥨 The recipe for Chocolate Salted Pretzel S’mores cookie bars drops next week (with vegan and gluten-free swaps too). Comment ‘pretzel’ and I’ll send it to you.

Happy weekend!

OREO-BOTTOMED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOT CAKES that are undetectably dairy-free! 🍪

I have to say I love to see a trend and put my own spin on it. And since I make cookie bars, it seemed only fitting to make a cookie cake version of the viral dot cake trend.

I am absolutely obsessed with the result. Think of them like an individual chocolate chip cookie cake in a jar with an Oreo crust!!

They’d make such cute individual desserts for a party. Or to jazz up dessert night any time.

Make them for fun with this trend, make them for a cute birthday or group gathering. I mean what’s not to love!

They're dairy-free as-is with swaps to make them vegan and gluten-free as well.

I’ve written out the step by step recipe on FetchingGoodies.com – comment ‘dot cookie cake’ and I’ll send you the direct link. 🫶🏻

Happy baking!

One of my go-to, crowd-pleasing red, white, and blue desserts! 🍓🫐🤍

Strawberry shortcake is quintessential summer.

I first made these for Father’s Day last year and set up a little build-your-own strawberry blueberry shortcake bar. Complete with undetectably dairy-free and vegan shortcakes (that can be made gluten-free too), both regular and non-dairy whipped cream, and lots of fresh strawberries and blueberries.

The combination of fluffy, flaky, tender shortcakes with luscious whipped topping and juicy berries is a burst of sunshine and summertime in every bite.

Perfect for patriotic holidays, like MDW!

The shortcakes themselves are naturally vegan and can easily be adapted gluten-free with gluten-free flour.

For the whipped cream, depending on who’s eating them, you can do both regular whipped cream and dairy-free. My favorites for non-dairy are whipping cream and oat whipped topping. I typically don’t sweeten it. The creamy, light flavor and texture pair beautifully with the subtly sweet shortcakes and natural sweetness of the berries.

☀️ Enjoy the full recipe at FetchingGoodies.com. Comment “shortcake” and I’ll send it to you.

Happy MDW, happy baking!

When life gives you lemons…make Lemon Poppyseed Cookie Bars!

There’s nothing I love more than the inspiration of a bakery classic to create something new and different. Lemon poppyseed is such an iconic muffin flavor, so why not turn those flavors into a cookie bar!

These beauties have a luscious lemony flavor with pops of poppyseeds, each bite will melt in your mouth.

Cookie bars are my fave because you can cut them to whatever size you want, keep some in the freezer, and/or easily share them at a BBQ or party.

💚 Plussss they’re undetectably vegan and dairy-free, and can easily be made gluten-free too.

The full recipe with ingredient swaps is live on FetchingGoodies.com, or comment ‘lemon’ and I’ll send it to you.

Happy baking!

🎄✨Christmastime in Italia

BRB, I’m fetching Goodies in Italy!

I took my first trip to Italy four years ago and fell in love with the way of life, the people, the language, the architecture, the food, and the wine. The trip has since become somewhat of a tradition.

This was time #3 and it was nothing short of magical. Everywhere we went was completely decked out for Christmas with glittering lights of all shapes and sizes, holiday music, festive foods. It gave me all the same warm fuzzy feels and vibes as the first time.

We went to Montepulciano, Florence, and Rome. All places I’ve been before, so while I did still go to some sights, this trip was more about simply living.

I made Moka Pot coffee for the first time (and bought one to bring home because now I’m hooked).

Sipped lots of + Brunello & Vino Nobile di Montepulciano wines.

Saw the Olympic torch get lit while staying in Montepulciano.

Enjoyed (vegan) croissants from different pasticcerias (pastry shops) every day (which I realize aren’t Italian but they are everywhere and incredible).

Shopped for gifts and homemade cantucci cookies at Christmas markets.

Reveled in dairy-free pizza at and

Took in sunrise and sunset from our airbnb balconies.

Dined at some of our favorite spots from past trips like

Picked up fresh produce, pasta, and meats at to cook dinner in.

Embarked on an 8-course cocktail & food tasting in the Labo-ttega – #22 on the list of the world’s best bars.

Spoke Italian almost everywhere we went (that daily Duolingo being put to good use).

Put olive oil on everything.

Took hundreds of photos, sharing a few faves.

Buon Natale! (Merry Christmas!)
