The 10 Must Have Staple Recipes to Stock Your Pantry
I am a HUGE fan of any recipes from scratch (if you hadn't figured that out by now). While the cost savings of making your own can be huge it's really the fact that I know EXACTLY what is going into my recipes. Also, when you live waaaayyyy out in the country you have to be creative and resourceful. And who doesn't love feeling self-sufficient? (Probably no one, but if there ...
Chocolate Chip Biscotti
It doesn’t matter how old you get, having dessert for breakfast always sounds like a great idea. Especially this time of year when the last slice of pumpkin pie is totally a balanced meal and the family weekend brunch most certainly includes a heaping pile of cinnamon rolls. Cookies are a little harder to justify. I guess you could call it a “breakfast cookie” but they lack the ...

I have a love/hate relationship with Christmas. I love all of the gift giving and cookie making. I love the get-togethers and all of the twinkling lights. What I don't love is just how dang expensive it is. Every holiday season we struggle to do all of the gifting we want without digging ourselves into a hole of debt that we then spend the next several ...

There is nothing quite like an egg from a happy chicken. Unlike the sad, bland eggs from the grocery store, the eggs ...
Turkey Cranberry Sliders
Let’s be honest. Thanksgiving is delicious and all, but the best part is all of the leftovers. If done correctly, the fridge will be full of meals that I don’t have to work too hard for for the majority of the week. The first couple of meals are generally a similar version of the original meal; swap the virtuous Brussel sprouts ...
Pumpkin Cake Roll
The “cake roll” has been around for a long time. The Swiss roll and the Yule log come to mind as the most classic of rolled desserts. The mesmerizing spiral of cake and sweet, creamy filling are hard to resist. I don’t roll cake for just any occasion. Its nerve racking and delicate work, but the end result is so impressive that I will set aside my fear and give it a go. ...
Sweet Potato Rolls
