Hello everyone, Sunday Breakfasts has to be postponed this week due to lack of time. Although I have written a partial post and made what I intended to, I just don’t have time to finish it before we head off on a week’s getaway. I hope you all have a fantastic week. See you...
Read more →Something clicked this spring and I decided that I wanted to try canning jams, veggies, pickles . . . you name it. It’s not something I have ever done before though or even seen done. And frankly, I can be a bit obsessive when trying to do something new. True to form, I bought...
Read more →In the dead of winter, a favorite breakfast around my house are Belgium waffles with strawberry sauce and fresh whipped cream. Once upon a time, my husband would purchase frozen strawberries in syrup in the grocery store’s freezer. But when I started cooking more and started shrugging off premade foods, I started making our...

Read more →The good news is that I had tremendous success grilling clams in beer on my parents’ gas grill this weekend. The bad news is I forgot my camera and have zero photo evidence to show for it. So how to grill clams on a gas grill will be a story for another day, I...
Read more →For once, I planned this breakfast menu days in advance. It actually started with the biscuit. When I saw the recipe on A Year in Bread, I knew it was something I had to try (particularly since I’ve had a monster craving for biscuits this pregnancy). But what to pair with it? Being that...
Read more →I need a tried and true coffee cake recipe. What I am imagining is a cinnamon swirl coffee cake with the yummy streusel topping.
