Cream Puffs
I like desserts that look and taste like something fancy but in actuality, it is very easy. That’s what these cream puffs are. I got this recipe from my friend and old neighbor, Holly Heron. Our kids were playing and we were standing in her kitchen and there on the counter were homemade cream puffs. …
Double Chocolate Chip Mint Cookies
I sure hope we can cook in heaven because I don’t know if I can exist without these cookies in my life, on earth or beyond. They are that good. First of all, chocolate and mint were meant to go together. I will pretty much eat any combination of the two. When I was pregnant…
Lemon Bars
The first time I ever had a lemon bar was at a youth church activity. It was gross! I am fairly certain it came from a box. Not that I have anything against boxed mixes, they have their purpose and I use them, however, not for lemon bars. I grew up with a lemon tree…

Breakfast Burritos

Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls
Fall is officially here and I am fully embracing all things pumpkin spice. I love that when the seasons change our food changes too! Isn’t that what we love about the holidays? Food?!? As we transition from flip flops to boots, shorts to jeans, and tank tops to sweaters, our food transitions from burgers to…
Crumb Coffee Cake
It is not too often that I eat cake for breakfast but when I do – I want a crumb coffee cake. My blueberry coffee cake is amazing as well as my cinnamon sour cream coffee cake. However, nostalgia always takes over and this one brings back all the memories. My sister and I were…
