Easy to make, with a subtle pumpkin flavor these drop scones are moist and tender with just a hint of sweetness on their own. But with a cinnamon glaze, these go from subtly delicious to fall-flavored scrumptious. Perfect with a cup of coffee or tea for breakfast or afternoon snack. These scones are a greatRead more
These Coconut Streusel Banana Muffins are delicious, the perfect tender crumb, the right hit of sweetness with a touch of crunch. Definitely worth making. And just the right thing for when you’re on the go. I’ve started a new job as an outpatient oncology dietitian, and it’s been the perfect fit. I’m loving the work,Read more
I love a good breakfast. This baked apple pancake immediately caught my eye on social media, especially with cardamom, cinnamon and nutmeg included. This baked apple pancake is like a stuffed popover, the edges are crisp, the apples are tender, and the pecans add a delicious crunch. This is similar to German Pancakes, but areRead more
With all of the craziness of Coronavirus, I haven’t been doing a ton of meal planning. I’ve been wanting to do more baking, but weekends still feel surprisingly short despite not being able to go anywhere. So I’m adapting to this new “normal” and not pushing things too much.

I made this Orange Marmalade French toast for Easter breakfast. This is such a great recipe because it can be assembled the night before and then baked off in the morning. This is lightly sweetened from the orange marmalade and would be perfect paired with a fruit salad and a cup of tea. This wouldRead more
These German Pancakes are very similar to the Dutch Baby Pancake I’ve made previously, but these are even easier to make. These are also made with a blender and baked in cake pans, so it’s a great way to make use of those kitchen tools that might not get a whole lot of use throughoutRead more
While I’m usually all about a baked oatmeal, Sister made this Pumpkin Oatmeal over the holidays and it hit the spot! Pumpkin makes the oatmeal extra creamy and toasted pecans add the perfect crunch. Since we all have different sweetness preferences, I tend to serve maple syrup on the side (although brown sugar could alsoRead more
Berry picking is one of my favorite summer activities. While it’s not exactly convenient, I love the tradition of going to Homestead Farms with Mom and picking berries, and buying fresh produce from the farm. We usually stop by Starbucks on the way home for an iced coffee. Mom took Sister and me all theRead more
