No one loves to roll out of their warm bed to drive to the donut shop and grab breakfast. And, let’s be honest, getting out of bed, putting on “outside” clothes, and having to pay an arm and a leg for them makes them taste less good. So, benevolent being that I am, I’m handing over my…

Cornbread for Loaves, Cast Iron, or Muffins
Just in case you need a sweet, buttery bread to serve alongside your favorite dinners, I present to you: cornbread in all of its glory. I’m a Yankee; I never claim to be a Southerner. That said, no one has to be Southern-born to make a bomb cornbread. I’m proof positive. My cornbread is sweetish. It also…
Persimmon-Walnut Muffins
Is there ever a time when stealing is okay? Asking for a friend. Okay, okay, I’m that friend. Honestly, I’m currently staring out of my office window at my neighbor’s tree. It’s loaded down with ripe persimmons, and this Persimmon-Walnut Muffin recipe is begging to be made with them. But then I think of how embarrassing it…
Spiced Pumpkin Muffins with Streusel Topping
Tis’ the season for Pumpkin Spiced everything, y’all! I held out as long as I could before sharing a pumpkin recipe, but time waits for no woman. These Spiced Pumpkin Muffins are moist, spicy with the flavors of fall, and use a whole can of pumpkin puree! That’s right, no more trying to figure out…

Blueberry Almond Streusel Muffins

Zucchini Bread- Easy and Freezer-Friendly
My children humble me on an almost daily basis. Case in point: my son told me this past weekend, “I really love zucchini.” Me, being the humble person I am, thought, “Well, clearly I’m an amazing mother. He loves vegetables and has a love of healthy food. He takes after me.” Come to find out,…
Churros with Dessert Dipping Sauces
This post is sponsored by Danish Creamery, but all opinions are my own. Cinco de Mayo is a pretty festive time food-wise…at least for me. No, I’m not Mexican, but who doesn’t love Mexican food? And who says you have to be Mexican to appreciate the simplicity of churros? No one sane, that’s for sure….
Blueberry Lemon Scones with Lemon Glaze
Scones are like biscuits that have an English accent and sip tea with its pinky extended. They’re subtly humble, while being bougie at the same time. Naturally, I love them because they remind me a lot of myself. These particular Blueberry Lemon Scones- with their zingy Lemon Glazed tops- are going to make you pine…
