Chocolate Chip Scones

It’s amazing how much peoples’ lives change after having kids.  For example, our movie selections.  Do you remember watching movies with adult humor without giving it a second thought?  Those days are gone…for now.  As a reward for good behavior, my daughter received the movie “High School Musical.”  She is hooked on movies with singing and dancing, and sheRead More

Easy Apple Fritters

My husband and I took our first trip to the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina back in 2005.  We had been dating for a year, and wanted to celebrate by going somewhere that we hadn’t been before.  It’s beautiful up there, no doubt about that, but one of the weird little memories that I haveRead More

Cinnamon Bun Cake

Cinnamon buns.  Everybody’s had ’em, and I don’t know a single person who doesn’t like ’em.  But, not everybody can or wants to make them…but with this cake, you CAN.  This is a very easy recipe, and it’s ten times less intimidating than actually making cinnamon buns from scratch.  This is literally like eating a cinnamonRead More

Best Ever Waffles

If you raise an eyebrow at the title of this entry, you’re not the first…because I did too when I was searching for a good waffle recipe to try out over the weekend.  As I was scrolling through some different recipes, the two that I concentrated on included this one and a recipe for buttermilkRead More

Pumpkin Bread

A year and a half ago around the holidays, someone asked me if I had ever made a pumpkin loaf before.  I told her no, but that I wanted to try it out…and completely forgot.  Well, my best friend’s sister came in town to visit, and she was hoping to get some sort of goodiesRead More

French Toast Casserole

Here we go again, another sweet and delicious breakfast.  I’ve heard my mother-in-law talk about this dish on several occasions, going on about how delicious it was…so naturally, I had to give it a shot.  I made this during the same weekend of being in town with my cousins, and since there was a lotRead More

Breakfast Pizza

On the weekends, I always make something good for breakfast.  Usually, it’s fluffy pancakes, but it’s nice to mix it up every once in a while.  Ooh, like those red velvet waffles.  Those were delicious, too.  This was something I’d been wanting to try out for a while, and super glad that it made itRead More

Red Velvet Waffles

A couple of months ago, a good friend’s sister posted a picture of something I hadn’t seen before on my Facebook page…Red Velvet Waffles.  As I stared at the picture in awe, I imagined myself sitting down in a quaint, upscale cafe enjoying this for brunch, along with a mimosa.  Then heading out for aRead More

Pound Cake

The last time I had a pound cake was earlier this year at a birthday party, and someone else had made it.  It’d been so long since I had one, and since it was covered in icing and decorations, the flavor threw me off since I wasn’t expecting it…and it was delicious.  When my husbandRead More
