Gingerbread Muffins
It is Gingerbread season and I am 100% jumping into it! First recipe is muffins… nothing like waking up to the hint of gingerbread in the air. Let’s get gingerbread spicy! The secret to anything gingerbread is the spice blend. Too much ginger and it can be too spicy, too much cinnamon and it drowns everything else out. Too many cloves and you can’t taste anything else, it is all about balance. These muffins have the perfect balance of spice and will be the perfect Holiday treat. A little extra crunch… For me a good muffin is tender, moist and full of flavor. A GREAT muffin has a fun…

Cinnamon Roll Bites – Your New Go-To Breakfast
Cinnamon Roll Bites are the perfect Christmas morning breakfast. They are quick, easy and bring the wonderful aroma of homemade cinnamon rolls (like these) without all the work. It all starts with Biscuits… These delicious cinnamon roll bites start with canned biscuits. Yep, you read that right… canned biscuits. That is what makes this recipe so easy, you cut up canned biscuits. I used the grands buttermilk biscuits, but you could use whatever you have on hand. PS…Flaky biscuits would be pretty good I bet. Let’s talk Cinnamon & Sugar (& few little something extras) Growing up I ate A LOT of cinnamon toast and these Cinnamon Roll Bites…

A Christmas Tradition
Christmas is just around the corner and I think I am going to have to make these again. Don’t be scared…you can do this. It is all about Christmas 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 rise. For this dough we are wanting it to rise, or proof, quite a bit. The goal is at least double from its original size.…

KETO Snickerdoodle
OK y’all I am obsessed with these cookies… like OBSESSED! Each bit is a little bit sweet with the perfect bit of cinnamon making these cookies SOOOO GOOD! Keeping it KETO Growing up I remember having snickerdoodles all the time, but as an adult I kinda forgot all about these little jewel of a cookie and then last week I was so sweetly reminded of them. I have some sweet friends and one of them asked me if I could make him some cookies. His favorite he has had of mine so far are these Molasses Sandwich Cookies but I asked him what else he loves and he said Snickerdoodle,…

a new chili night…steak chili
Growing up in Texas I have had my fair share of chili. The traditional chili with beef (no beans) and loaded with spices, turkey chili, white chicken chili and of course chili with beans…but sometimes you just have to take a favorite to the next level. Just trust me Ok now I know you might be shaking your head at me and asking “why go and mess up something and make it weird” but trust me this chili is everything you love about your favorite traditional chili, only elevated! It is loaded with tons of spices (some that are a little surprising) and big chunks of meat making this a…

brownies always make for a sweet finish
Sweets are a must have for Cinco de Mayo…after indulging in something cheesy and yummy I have to finish it off with something sweet and its even better when there is a little kick involved. Truth be told…I also love to have a margarita or two as well, but since I can’t have alcohol right now (it doesn’t mix with pain meds evidently) I will have a double dose of brownies instead. Now these brownies are not your ordinary box brownies, or these caramel brownies or even these oreo brownies they are super fudgy with a little kick. Ok I hear ya…brownies with a kick? What kind of…

let’s go…go…go for some oatmeal
Let’s talk about breakfast. Do you eat breakfast everyday? Do you LOVE breakfast or is something you have to do? Do you change it up or do you eat the same thing everyday? Are you always in a hurry in the morning and need something that is easy and already done when you wake-up? How about overnight oats that are ready when you get up? For me I am eating breakfast everyday…NOW, but that has not always been the case. Breakfast is not something I LOVE or think about or crave but in the last few months all of that has been slowly changing. For the New Year I have…
