“This post and recipe was created for #SummerDessertWeek! I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies but as always opinions are 100% mine.” I love coconut. If you don’t- you can omit it from this recipe, and you have a basic sweet breakfast bread. Coconut is one of those…

homemade tortillas
There is something about making homemade tortillas. Something that goes beyond the food aspect of it. Maybe ….it’s because right now in our homeschool I’m teaching a period of history that is before the discovery of baking powder, yeast or other leavening. Most cooking was done by the meal, and over an open…
school buns or school bread
To kick off our official first day of “school”, (yes, I waited until after Labor day) I made something special. School Buns. (Or School Bread) According to Wikipedia: Skolebolle (English: School Bun) is the Norwegian name for a type of sweet roll that consists of regular dough of yeast, custard and icing…
homemade pretzel buns
My husband thought I was a bit crazy making these once he saw all the steps involved. He had no clue what goes into pretzel making I suppose… You see, pretzels have that chewy, slightly briny exterior for a reason. They take a swim before they bake. And, that extra step makes all…
perfection takes time- rum raisin cinnamon rolls
sponsored post* There are some things that you can’t rush. The best things come with time; for instance: maturity, wisdom and patience, fine wine, diamonds and your grandmother’s spicy tomato sauce that simmers all day, or bread that has been kneaded by hand and risen and baked in a low oven, permeating the…
baked sour cream doughnuts
There are times I get cravings for moist, cake like doughnuts smothered in a slightly crisp glaze, there are other times I get cravings for grilled cheese made with (gasp!) white bread and lots of salted butter in the pan, with creamy American cheese oozing at every bite. Junk food at it’s…
the best homemade pizza crust recipe..ever
Most of you know that every Friday I make pizza. Tuesdays are usually tacos, and the rest of the week is a gamble. My culinary creativeness is definitely in hibernation right now. But, despite the lack of creativity in having pizza for dinner, there is still a recipe to be had, and some…
sweet cream biscuits
The other day, I woke up to one of those moods. You know the ones: the ones where you’re not quite sure how you feel, you’re not sure if you’re worried, disappointed, scared, or just plain unhappy… but you do know you’re in a mood. And, the worst part is that you don’t…

Now, the new, improved version has a printable recipe. Because you;re going to want to make these….
Peaches n cream breakfast cake
Hello folks. I know, I know- I have been gone a few days. Sometimes, you just need a visit to LaLa land. I made this breakfast cake for my in-laws. See, I had these peaches and I am still on the cream cheese kick and this is what became of that: Yum. See…
garlic rolls
If you keep up with me on facebook, you will know what I made for Valentines dinner. If not, well… I guess I will tell you: roast beef, scalloped potatoes, corn and these. It all began Valentines morning, when my hubby said, “Can we have homemade bread tonight?” An odd request at 5:35…
bread bowls
As requested! I use this basic french bread recipe for the bowls, basic bread, and it makes an excellent pizza dough! I am lucky enough to have a bread machine- which I only use as a dough machine (lol) but, you can also do it the ol fashion way, too! This makes a nice…
