breakfast
I am an early riser, a morning person, and a "I can get so much done when everyone in my house is still asleep" kind of person. I don't love the beeping sound of my alarm that pulls me…
My birthday is coming up here pretty quick and I can hardly believe that another year has come and gone. This year for my birthday I asked for a plane ticket to Utah for my sister Stephanie who live…
It's peach season and we've been eating fresh peaches for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Every year this happens and every year I look forward to it. Allred Orchard's opens their fruit s…
I first stumbled upon Ashley Rodriquez's olive oil bread recipe last year, early fall. I've made countless loaves and I have a hard time saying no to a slice (or two, or three). Each bite o…
Growing up I was always more of a French toast kind of girl. Hot French toast smeared with so much salted butter that it melted in pools. A heavy dusting (aka spoonful’s) of powdered sugar would me…
I couldn't decide whether I should toss or save the near black bananas sitting on my kitchen counter. I finally decided that it was the end of their banana life so into the trash they went (or a…

A couple of days ago I went to get some apples from Allred Orchard's and they happened to have a big box of Honey Crisp apples that were "seconds" for nine dollars (a total steal). The…
I love the fall so much! It really is my most favorite time of the year (it may have something to do with my birthday falling right in the middle of October and I really love my birthday). As the w…
I LOVE glass jars. We drink and eat from them and they fill our refrigerator shelves. On any regular day you can find jars filled with yogurt, hot fudge, jams, toasted walnut sesame butter (becaus…
After my kiddies have gone to bed and I have a few moments (literally moments) before I feel the sandman getting near I love to sit on our couch and read through one of my cookbooks or pull out a sta…
