Desserts

Simple, beautiful desserts for relaxed outdoor living. From light sweets to easy favorites, these are designed to end the evening on a warm and effortless note.

Pies

It all started in the kitchen.

Before For the Birds Living became a place for outdoor gatherings and simple, beautiful living, it began as For the Birds Baking — a creative outlet built around a love of baking and sharing recipes with family and friends.

Over time, that passion naturally expanded beyond the kitchen and into the way we gather, entertain, and enjoy everyday life outdoors.

Baking is still very much at the heart of it all. These days, though, it looks a little different.

After my husband, Johnny B, was diagnosed with diabetes, I began adapting many of our favorite recipes to better fit our lifestyle — finding ways to keep them just as enjoyable, while being a bit more mindful.

You’ll see that reflected here, where I often use monk fruit as a sugar alternative in desserts that still feel familiar, simple, and worth making.
