Yesterday was a no good, horrible, rotten day. My twins were perfect angels…well, except when the boy-child tried to argue with me about solstices and equinoxes…other than that, they were little cherubs. The Soldier was home early enough for us to eat dinner before heading out to the kids’ troop meetings. I was alive. So, why…

Fruit and Grain Pumpkin Bread
Truth be told, I don’t like it when my husband likes anything of anyone else’s better than he likes mine. I don’t care if it’s a car, a dress, or a meal. If he’s fawning over how amazing it is, I’m probably looking for the closest bat to bash it with. This is how so…
White Chocolate-Pumpkin Scones with Cinnamon-Maple Cream Cheese Glaze
Um…you guys? I have something to tell you. Don’t get mad ‘kay? I started another DIY project. Well, we started another DIY project. I conned bribed Hector into helping me put wainscoting on our formal dining room walls. He has taken a few days of R&R after getting back from his latest deployment. So, I figured, “HEY!…

At my funeral, make sure there’s copious amounts of this Meyer Lemon Curd for my friends and family to partake of to soothe their devastation. The end draws nigh. Between the mutant strain of mountain cedar…
Banana Oatmeal Scones with Maple Glaze
Today kicks off what promises to be a pretty hard week for our family. As a military family, we’re faced with times like these more often than we care for, but it is a necessary evil. What isn’t a part of the life is undue stress, so when I’m looking down the barrel of a whole lotta poppycock (for…
Spiced Pumpkin Muffins
Tis’ the season for PSL y’all! I spoke about my angst about pumpkin pie a little earlier in the punkin’ season, so I won’t bore you with the details here. Just suffice it to say, I haven’t always been the biggest fan of the gourd. I think my childhood was a huge disservice in that…
Blueberry-Lemon Scones
I wrote about scones in my cookbook- taste&see cooks: recipes to inspire, equip & enjoy. shockingly enough, it’s on sale now. Mainly, I wrote about my love for scones and the occasional habit I have of pretending to be a resident of Downton Abbey (Cora) while eating them daintily, pinkie finger protruding and everything. It’s kind…
