This post is updated with new images because the old ones sucked. I’m just keeping it real with you. The growth has been real over here, my friend. In my growth I realize that all those pictures I used to take, which I thought were fly, are garbage. In two years, I’ll probably look back and think…
Breads and Biscuits
Apple Orchard French Toast Bake
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

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…
