The Absolute Best Cinnamon Rolls

December 7, 2020 by Susan 2 Comments

This simple recipe can be made even by a complete beginner but is still my go-to recipe for the very best cinnamon rolls ever. Soft and gooey, with a sweet, maple-flavored frosting they are everyone’s favorite!

 

I’m about to tell you an embarrassing secret about myself: I kind of hate it when Christmas falls on a Sunday. Awful, right? I mean, it is Jesus’ birthday, after all. As a Christian I always feel like I’m supposed to say, “What better place to celebrate!” and ring a bell, or something.

But the reason is what’s so embarrassing: It’s brunch.

Christmas brunch is quite literally my favorite meal of the entire year. And we skip it when Christmas falls on Sundays, dagnabit.

White Chocolate Cranberry Pistachio Cookies

December 9, 2019 by Susan 4 Comments

Jam-packed with salty pistachios, tart dried cranberries and sweet white chocolate, this cookie is the perfect bite.  It also looks beautiful on a cookie tray!

 

I made a cookie similar to these a lot of years ago for a work Christmas party and was told by one co-worker that they were the best cookies he’d ever had.  They are kind of the perfect bite…sweet, tart, salty, rich.  YUM!

They’re certainly perfect for Christmas with the red, green and white, and look pretty on a cookie tray.  I think they’d make a lovely gift, too.

Triple Chocolate Bundt Cake

February 18, 2019 by Susan 12 Comments

An easy and delicious chocolate bundt cake that is perfect to bring to a potluck, make for a coffee date, after school snack, or just because.  

Triple Chocolate Bundt Cake

 

No story about how moist and delicious this simple cake is.  Sorry.  No long intro about how leftovers are the best with a cup of coffee or an afternoon snack.  Nope.  Not even an anecdote about how it’s the perfect easy recipe to make for potlucks.

I will tell you a few things, though.

Pancakes from scratch that’ll make you swoon a little.

September 24, 2018 by Susan 5 Comments

These simple pancakes, made from scratch, are the tastiest pancakes I’ve ever made. This is the last pancake recipe you’ll need.

 

I used to think of pancakes as just a vehicle for syrup.  Until I tried this recipe.  No kidding, every time I make them, my husband pauses while he’s eating and says, “These pancakes are really good.”  

It makes me giggle now, because he says it every-single-time.

And they are!  Unlike a lot of pancake recipes I’ve made, these are actually tasty all on their own.  (Not that I skip the syrup, mind you.  I haven’t lost my mind.)

Sweet and Buttery Cherry Coffee Cake

May 21, 2018 by Susan 2 Comments

 

Do you have a favorite meal of the year?  Maybe it’s Thanksgiving dinner with all the fixings?  A special New Years Day menu?  I’ve been saying for years that our Christmas brunch is my favorite meal of the year, but I realized recently that it may be tied with our Mother’s Day brunch.

Notice a theme?  This girl likes brunch.

Individual Cakes in Jars

March 26, 2018 by Susan 2 Comments

Do you usually make dessert for dinner?  Unless we have guests, I don’t.  But every once in a while it’s nice to surprise my guys with a sweet treat, and these cuties are one of my favorites.

Each person getting their own little cake in a jar…adorable!  The cuteness is lost on the boys, but being the only girl in the house, I am used to that.

They love them because they’re totally delish.
