I've eaten the same breakfast for more than a year now. 2 eggs. 1 slice of cheese. 2 slices of whole wheat bread. Make a sandwich, then repeat. I'm a creature of habit, I suppose. I like to have a routine in the mornings. If I don't, I'll just lay on the couch and not… Continue reading Turkey Bacon Egg Cups

Classic Christmas Sugar Cookies
Christmas is all about traditions. There are foods you eat every year. Light displays you drive through every year. Present-giving-routines you do every year. My family sticks by most of the classics when it comes to holiday baking. We've been making big batches of decorated sugar cookies every year since I was born. This recipe… Continue reading Classic Christmas Sugar Cookies
Cranberry Oat Bread
It's a winter wonderland here in Oklahoma right now! Snow about 4-6 inches thick blankets the ground. The temperature is hovering in the 20's with overcast skies. This is my favorite type of weather---and favorite time of year. I'm sure we'll thaw out here pretty soon. Snow doesn't ever stick around for long in this… Continue reading Cranberry Oat Bread
Cherry Eggnog Bread
Baking is not my first passion. It's also not my second, third, or fourth passion. It's not even on my "passion" list at all. I'm not the greatest baker in the world. Even with all the gizmos and gadgets to help in the kitchen, more often than not my baking experiments fail. Cakes come out… Continue reading Cherry Eggnog Bread
White Chocolate Cranberry Fudge
There's something about melting chocolate that's just so, so difficult. If chocolate can melt so easily in your hand, why is it so hard to melt it in a bowl? I think I've finally mastered the art of melting chocolate, though. I made it work once and I've used the same utensils, the same brand… Continue reading White Chocolate Cranberry Fudge

It only takes a handful of ingredients and need ZERO baking skills to accomplish. Behold, the greatest copycat Red Lobster biscuit around. Got a hankering you can't quell? Make these… Continue reading Easy Cheddar Bay Biscuits
Crustless Cranberry Pie
I hope everyone had a magical Thanksgiving! Up next, the main event: Christmas. It truly is the most wonderful time of year. I FINALLY got a working oven after waiting upwards of 3 months, so now I'm in full holiday baking mode. I've made a batch of M&M cookies already, but other than that, I've… Continue reading Crustless Cranberry Pie
Loaded M&M Chocolate Chip Cookies
We're only a few days away from Thanksgiving and you know what that means: the holiday baking season is officially here. Let's eat all the pies, quick breads, cookies and candies our little hearts desire. I'm ready to put my brand new oven to good use. I bought a giant-sized bag of flour the other… Continue reading Loaded M&M Chocolate Chip Cookies
Katharine Hepburn’s Brownies
Nostalgia is king right now. I think people hit a certain point in this self-isolation that makes them yearn for the way things were...even yearning for the way things were 10-20 years ago. I've been going through old pictures and notes from my friends. I've been rewatching Gilmore Girls for the 100th time. I'm even… Continue reading Katharine Hepburn’s Brownies
Marbled Carrot Cake Cheesecake Bars
I'm a little late to the spring party, and I think Oklahoma is, too. It's been 30-40 degrees the past few nights. I haven't managed to venture outside in 2-3 days since my allergies have been going haywire. I'm missing the little blossoms on the trees, the weeds that are in bloom, and the cheery… Continue reading Marbled Carrot Cake Cheesecake Bars
