I have always thought that the perfect biscuit was a top-secret southern power. Like, you had to be from the south and sit at your grandma’s knee to learn the secret to a fluffy, thick, delicious biscuit. Apparently, it’s not- who knew? I found the best biscuit recipe in the world in my Magnolia Kitchen … More JoJo’s Biscuits
As a kid, my mom cooked for us a lot. I never realized that people really ate dinner out until I was older. I just assumed that eating at a restaurant was a special occasion and it was a once-in-awhile thing. My mom is a good cook and I have always enjoyed a lot of … More Egg Puff Casserole
Back to school means back to quick breakfasts and snacks! My family has been doing the school thing the last week, and one thing for sure is that when everyone walks in the door after a long day, they want something quick to munch on. Tay and Greg have been going at the Costco muffins … More Lemony Lemon Bread
Today Tay was tired- and I have to admit I was, too! We had big plans for our final day in Canada so today was more of a rest day than anything else. We began our morning by hitting up a local coffee shop that got really good reviews for their coffee and baked goods. … More Oh Canada! -Toronto (Day 3)
In the continuing effort to wow my mom and dad with my culinary skills, I woke up early recently and threw together an amazing breakfast. I have made this quiche from Magnolia Kitchen a few times, and it has never disappointed. Don’t you love having a sure fire recipe in your repertoire??? Although this recipe … More Three Cheese Quiche
I love summer for the fact that my mornings are not rushed. Usually, during the school year, I have very regimented, very full mornings. In the summer- I can actually enjoy the start of the day! I had made Magnolia Table’s ricotta pancakes before, and I remember liking them. But, I did not remember liking … More Ricotta Pancakes
One thing I love about summer are the leisurely mornings. Usually- mornings are a huge rush but in summer it’s so much more laid back. I have been starting the days with a nice 2 mile dog walk (about all Oscar can handle!) and then breakfast. My go to breakfast as of late has been … More TGIF- fun finds
Who doesn’t love a good doughnut? I’m not even a lover of sweet things, but put a good doughnut in front of me… yeah! I was searching for fun things to try online and stumbled upon a recipe for matcha doughnuts. I had never thought of cooking with matcha until a few weeks ago when … More Matcha Doughnuts
A fabulous week has come to an end (next week watch for a Spring Break Adventure re-cap!) and I feel recharged and ready to finish out the school year. I got an order for more custom cookies – this time for a former student who is graduating college! It was so fun to make waterpolo … More TGIF- fun finds
With two teachers in the house – and a kiddo of our own that needs to be out the door – mornings are rushed around here! I usually try to get as much prepped for the mornings the night before, but breakfast prep is always done on the weekend. Tay loves her banana muffins, but … More Breakfast Burritos
