There are certain days where you know you’re going to need something comforting on deck. Today is one of those days and the sun hasn’t even risen yet. Whenever I know I’m going to be running for the better part of the day, I like to have ingredients on hand to make these Avocado Egg…

Maple Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie
Shoooooo, y’all!!! I almost messed up Thanksgiving! Your girl completely blew off the fact that, as a food blogger, I should be blogging about- say…FOOD?!?! ESPECIALLY on one of the foodiest holidays that exists. Instead, I was galavanting around my garage building stuff in a last-ditch effort to get my proverbial “ish” together. By the Monday before…
Cranberry-Orange Muffins with Streusel Topping
Have you ever done that thing where you open your eyes really wide in an attempt to keep from crying? Like if the air can hit the tears before they’re shed, it’ll dry them up and you’ll be good? Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of that. And the whole, waving your hand in front…
Easiest Cake Donut Recipe Ever
My cake donut recipe has a way of reminding me how frenetic I can be at times…okay, most times. So, National Donut Day just passed. I realized this was so about mid-morning the day of. It was then, at ten a.m., that I decided, “I need to participate like the excellent food blogger that I…
Bananas Foster French Toast
My husband gets mad at me sometimes. It’s typically because I’ve “hidden” some recipe in my “secret recipe box” to “punish” him. Why he thinks I need to punish him like that? Who knows? I have a credit card to do that with. But, he has his conspiracy theories, so I just leave it be….
Nutella and Almond Brioche: Cooking for Mom
Mother’s Day has snuck up on me faster than I’d like to admit, Friend. During a separation, your internal calendar tends to get a little out of whack. Holidays come and go in a flurry. So it is with this Mother’s Day. There are too many heartaches associated with Mother’s Day, for me, so I’ve…
Meyer Lemon Curd Filling and Spread
Texas is trying to kill me, you guys. I’m so serious. This is like my last will and testament. 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…
Shakshuka: The Ultimate Comfort Food
‘Twas definitely a shakshuka type of day. The days following a New Year are very limbo-like around here. Not “How low can you go,” limbo, but “Wait. What day is it again?” limbo. We’re all walking around the house confused; the air is thick with anxiety and tension. Shakshuka is the cure-all…ok, not really. Shakshuka…
Pumpkin Streusel Coffee Cake
I have a confession to make…I don’t like pumpkin pie. I’m not proud of it. You see, I generally like pumpkin desserts, it’s just pumpkin pie sets my gag reflex into overdrive. So, when people are celebrating the return of PSL (which nowadays means pumpkin spice eVERYthang), in AUGUST!!, I’m over here like, “Ugh!!! Here we go…
