We might have a slight obsession with lavender filled recipes lately. It’s long been a favorite scent around our house (anyone else totally in love with the lemon lavender Yankee Candle scent?) and since handing out saches filled with French lavender at our wedding, this plant has held a special place for us. We planted…
Overnight Cake Batter Cinnamon Rolls
Tender, gooey overnight cinnamon rolls filled with the flavor of cake batter are a sinfully delicious treat for the weekend or to celebrate a birthday. Plus they are just fun to eat doused with colorful sprinkles! This is unicorn food for sure. Don’t these just make you happy to look at like my blood orange…
Blood Orange Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
What do I do when I have leftovers of some random ingredient like blood orange glaze? I come up with another new recipe! Ha! I actually love the combination of chocolate and citrus, particularly orange. So when I had leftover blood orange glaze from these happy little donuts and some overripe bananas begging to be…
Sweet Potato Biscuits
Way back at Easter, we had brunch with my mom, her new boyfriend (the first time we met him was at Easter – I’m sure that wasn’t nerve-wracking for him at all), sister, brother-in-law, and their baby. I braved the crowds on Good Friday at Honey-baked Ham (yes I am that insane – but hey…

Delicious cup of coffee, some crispy bacon, and a stack of spongy pancakes that soak up all the syrup within a ten mile radius. Humor me for…
Oh, the silent majesty of a winter’s morn…

This year, however, we managed to get the entire morning to ourselves. Oh what to do…what to do. We…
Croque Madame
A short while ago we decided to buck our usual trend of evening hang outs with our pals the Brownes and go for something a little different. It’s called breakfast. You may have heard of it. It was a French kind of morning. Why you say? Well, I have no idea. I just felt like…
And in the mornin’…I’m making waffles!
Bonus points if you guess what movie that’s from… Saturday mornings are my ONE day a week to go wild with breakfast. And if I can help it, I’m usually going extravagant. Sadly, Kara’s out on a field trip this morning with her photography class and she missed some yummy impromptu waffles. And an impromptu…
