Your Morning Just Got a Ton Better
So for the last several months I have been thinking about trying to make homemade cinnamon rolls. My brother and sister-in-law have been asking me to make them, but dealing with yeast scared me so I just kept putting it off. That is I put it off until Christmas morning. It is all about patience Homemade cinnamon rolls are 1000% better than the canned version, but beware you have to plan ahead. You need several hours (I started the process the night before) to let the dough proof and get ready to roll up into rolls. SO what is proofing you ask? Proofing is when you let the dough…

As the country celebrates the promise of Fall, here in SE Texas we are recovering from Hurricane Harvey Thankfully my family is safe and dry but so many others around us are not.

Today is one of my most favorite days of the year. PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE is back at Starbucks. Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice Anything and everything pumpkin is all I can think about when September comes along. I love to decorate with pumpkins and I love to…

Refrigerator Bran Muffins
Ok so I have an obsession I need to let everybody know about. I am obsessed with these Refrigerator Bran Muffins!! I mean OBSESSED!! Just let it chill One of the best parts about this recipe is the fact that once you make it and then let it chill in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks. The recipe makes a lot of batter. I mean a TON of batter meaning you can have warm muffins anytime you want. And I do mean ANYTIME. I have been known to make a few of them at 9:00 at night, just because I want one…remember I told you I am OBSESSED. Little or…

It’s a muffin puff kinda morning…
I do not have enough words in my vocabulary to tell you all how much I love these muffin puffs. Yes, you read that right, I am in LOVE with a little treat we call a muffin puff. Trust me they are as cute as they sounds and as yummy as they look. What is a puff? Simply put it is a cross between a muffin and donut hole, but there is nothing simple about these bites. First, they are easy to make like muffins. Mix everything together and then bake it off in cute mini muffin pans. I LOVE mini muffin pans. Don’t you? Some of the best bites…

a little love in the morning
This week is all about love, with it being Valentines Day week and all. To show a little extra love I am going to be making a favorite, my Brioche French Toast. Making the morning special One of my favorite things to get for breakfast or brunch is french toast. Anytime there is Brioche French Toast on the menu I am ordering it. There is just something so yummy about thick cut bread dipped in a delicious egg mixture and then grilled to perfection. Every time I fix this for The Hubby he always says he feels like we have gone out for brunch in our PJ’s. Now that is a…

start your day with a berry good treat
I love the idea of smoothies. They are loaded with good for your stuff, you can drink them, and they are quick to make which is perfect for those super busy mornings. There is just one problem I have with most smoothies…I HATE bananas! A smoothie without a banana can be hard to find Do you go to those smoothie places and get creative with your smoothies….well that has always been a challenge for me. Most of them have bananas in them, and I cannot eat banana any way, any how. So I know that sounds a little wacky, really who doesn’t like bananas…well that would be me. This is…

Gravy, please
When you ask The Hubby what he wants for breakfast his typical answer usually is biscuits and gravy. Now his new favorite biscuits are these butter biscuits and his favorite gravy is this sausage gravy…so I bring you The Hubby’s Dream Breakfast. Don’t be afraid of gravy (like I used to be)… So when I first started cooking there were 2 things that I just couldn’t get the hang of…gravy and crust. Now I know some of you are probably laughing and shaking your head and trust me I did as well. I would ask myself why I couldn’t get these simple recipes down each time I would try to…

These super tender and delicious biscuits are not only easy to make but they are cooked in butter making them AMAZING!! Bring on the Biscuits What do you love about biscuits most? For me it is a crunchy top and a fluffy center. And the taller the better. These butter biscuits are tall, with a crunchy outside and a super fluffy inside…oh yeah and they are cookies in butter. These are pretty much the perfect biscuit. It starts with butter… So first…

Pumpkin in the morning
Hello Fall…you know what that means…it is PUMPKIN time!! I have to say the beginning of Fall is one of my favorite times of the year. Bring on the pumpkins, yummy foods and cooler weather!! A match made in pumpkin heaven… Over the next few months you will see pumpkin recipes everywhere, for everything so I thought why not start with the first meal of the day…MUFFINS (I mean breakfast)! I love pumpkin bread for sure but pumpkin muffins are my favorite. They are even better when loaded with cream cheese and chocolate. If you frequent starbucks (like I do) I am sure you have seen their pumpkin bread, cookies, scones and…
