    sourdough pancakes

    I’ve been making pancakes on Sunday evenings for probably 2 months now… or perhaps more honestly. Sometimes figuring out what to eat for dinner every night can be a lot, so knowing that Sunday is for pancakes makes life a bit easier. Plus it normally means bacon is also on the menu.  Given that I…

    buttermilk cinnamon peanut butter donuts

    Yes, that is a really loaded name for these small donuts… but it is all the truth. Donuts were not on my list of things to make during this quarantine but I had some fresh buttermilk… and I’m trying very hard to reduce my waste. Why the fresh buttermilk? Well, I obviously had to make…

    bagel egg bake

    Let me introduce you to a very easy and impressive brunch recipe. I honestly have no idea what to call it – but perhaps a “bagel egg bake”? I’ve attempted several different brunch casseroles over the years and this is one of the best. It is also one of the easiest. There are only 6…

    ricotta banana bread

    Ricotta is often on the list of things I fail to finish in my fridge. A recipe will call for a half cup and then it’ll just sit there slowly expiring with my good intentions. But – if I’m going to make budget decisions and buy generic cereal… I should also be mindful of my…

    green tomato walnut cinnamon bread

      I’ve been holding on to tomato growing season as long as I possibly could. I really pushed the limits this year…. but I also believe that I really utilized my tomatoes as best as I ever have. I have processed and canned a whole lot of sauce. It has been living in stacks on…

    harvest loaf with maple butter

    Technically this is a pumpkin loaf… but I don’t want to call it that. I’m not a huge pumpkin flavor person. I’ve never been one for a pumpkin spice latte. Pumpkin pie? No thanks. I do get on board with other seasonal flavors. Gingerbread, peppermint, etc. It feels like there are others but I can’t…

    best quiche ever

    A couple weeks back I had the best quiche ever. It made me realize how lazy and terrible my quiches had been to date. I just would mix eggs and milk and call it a day. BUT, this new quiche was so perfect. I legit could not stop talking about it at the brunch. I…

    Quick Cinnamon Roll Caserole

    … and when I say Quick, I really mean quick. This whole recipe was complete from start to finish in about 75 minutes – which is impressive considering its not just a “dump it all in” casserole. You have legit manual labor to do here. I was in the market for a good Father’s Day…

    irish creme scones

    I stumbled across this scone recipe when I was doing some St. Patrick’s day recipe searching. I was targeting a biscuit to go with our Guinness Stew… and this little gem of a scone popped up. The facts are obvious that I cannot bypass a scone recipe. I just merely needed a reason to make…

    funfetti scones

    It was my mom’s birthday last week and that obviously necessitated a fresh batch of scones. As a family, we default to funfetti on a regular basis. It seemed only natural to make some funfetti scones. Do you want to know the trick to funfetti? There is none. It’s literally just sprinkles in whatever you…
