Sometimes Chocolate Chip Cream Scones and a nice cup of coffee are like a warm hug to me in the early morning. Well and a good book. That is if I can find a few minutes to read a book without chaos going on around me. And let’s be honest a warm cup of coffee …
It’s that time of year again – for all things pumpkin and my birthday of course! I grew up loving Halloween, haunted houses, and scary movies – you know all the craziness that goes with those things. Now I see Halloween as a time of hiding half of the candy from my kids A) so they …
Fall is officially here! I mean even though it’s a whopping 89 degrees out as I write this post. I mean it is fall right? Well considering all my favorite things happen in the fall – leaves changing, fall clothes, football, mine and Amelia’s birthdays. What more could you ask for? Well in Alabama – …
I feel like everyone should have their own Blueberry Muffin recipe from scratch don’t you? And trust me I grew up on the kind from the packets (which I am not ashamed to say I still use when I am in a pinch). I also remember licking bowl after my mom was done with it. And …
Sometimes I get a little overeager and buy too many bananas. Does that ever happen to you? Obviously before I started cooking I would throw them out. Same thing used to happen with all my fruits and vegetables. But now I turn those into juices. And those ripe bananas into pancakes, nut bread, and now …
What do you when it’s cold and rainy out and you’re stuck inside with two sick toddlers? You bake! And watch lots of Disney Jr of course Let me back up. I’m sure you’ve seen on the news all the wildfires in the south – in Birmingham we had 61 days with no rain. Well …
These light and fluffy Sweet Potato Biscuits are the perfect addition to your fall or winter meal.
This Triple Berry Bread is bursting with flavor from the fresh raspberries, blueberries and strawberries and is perfect for everyone in your whole family. Do you ever have those mornings? Where you know it’s going to be a long day? Just the other day I was going to make cereal and I pulled out a baby …
I am pretty sure I could this cornbread every single day – with every single meal – okay mainly – chili, pulled pork, etc. All I want to do is talk to you about my big news…but that will just have to wait until Friday Feedings…but those of you who follow me on Instagram already know!
The fresh lemon juice and lemon zest add such a brightness to these Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins. Pregnancy is all it took to finally get me to start eating breakfast regularly again. Who would have thought?! It used to be egg sandwiches most of the time but now with John Grayson my mornings are generally not …
Back in January John and I traveled home to help throw a baby shower for our friends. With two other couples we decided to do a BBQ. The only thing missing from this shower would have been some Herb Cornbread.
Now that the weather is warming up to like 15 degrees…oh my gosh did I just consider that warm? Wow that means I really need to get back to the south ASAP! I have already cozied up with a warm bow of soup, but it’s now time to venture into other things I need to add to …
A couple weekends ago I woke up extremely early (I know, surprise surprise) but 5 AM on a Saturday is unusual for me. I couldn’t fall back asleep, the dogs and John were still heavily sleeping so I got up decided I’d begin my normal weekend routine…make my chai tea, wash a few dishes, watch …
One of the things John wanted when we first got married was a waffle maker, so I got one. I mean I would never turn down another kitchen toy! But we didn’t use it as much as he thought we would. When in reality he wanted to get it so I could make him waffles. …
You know those dishes that you could make in your sleep because you have made them so many times? For me those are Mexican Pie, Pasta with Creamy Vodka Sauce and this Cheesy Garlic Bread. My best friend from childhood came up to visit me last month and she wanted me to cook for her. I made …
From what I was told my Grandpa Hansen was a great bread maker. When I was younger I don’t remember this, but I was told pretty much every time you left his house you would leave with bread. I think that is pretty cool! Just like homemade pizza dough I always thought making homemade bread …
So since moving to Indy two things have changed. I now love to bake and now actually enjoy getting up Saturday mornings to cook breakfast (well sometimes). But don’t worry I still enjoy John fixing it while I relax and sip my chai tea. I have always loved the Pillsbury Flaky Layers Biscuits. Yes biscuits …
I have been able to cross off another item on my food bucket list. I never realized that pizza dough from scratch is super easy (trust me it is for those of you who haven’t attempted it). I know you could just as easily unwrap the premade pizza dough and pop it in the oven. But there is …
Who knew I would become a bread maker? Well after making one bread and one pizza dough I will claim the title of bread maker. But as I was making this banana nut bread the thought of the scene in Beauty in the Beast (my all time favorite Disney movie) where Belle is strolling through the village and …
Recently I went on my Friday lunch date with my kindle to explore another restaurant in Indianapolis. As I was actually driving around trying to find a gas station I stumbled upon the Barking Dog Cafe. I figured why not. And it didn’t hurt that their outside tables were lime green 🙂 So I ordered …
