I love donuts. I could eat a donut everyday. I love going to the donut shop and seeing all the pretty donuts lined up in the glass case. My love for donuts might be amplified right now by my pregnancy, but even before I still loved them. I like to try all the different donut… Continue reading Monuts: The Muffin Donut

Maple Almond Granola
I have no idea what day it is. Two days at home this week has really thrown off my internal clock. All day I kept thinking it was Monday. I suppose I should be happy that it's Thursday and not Monday because that means tomorrow is Friday. It is also jeans day which is an… Continue reading Maple Almond Granola

Homemade Drop Biscuits
Hello from the Blizzard of Oz! That's what the weather people were calling yesterday's snowstorm. Kind of fitting since we live in Kansas. It was one heck of a blizzard that's for sure.

Oatmeal Bars
Saturday. I didn't think you would ever get here. Benzo and I both had stressful, busy weeks at work. So are we ever glad to see Saturday.

Personal Baked Oatmeal Bowls
So this past Sunday I not only made Un-Chicken Noodle Soup, I also made personal baked oatmeal bowls for Benzo and I for breakfast.

But I remembered seeing… Continue reading Personal Baked Oatmeal Bowls

Maple Butter Pecan Cupcakes
I could tell you what I made for dinner tonight, but I think this is a lot more exciting: I've had these cake mixes in the back of my pantry for at least a year, maybe longer. I've known in the back of my mind that they were going to expire soon and that I… Continue reading Maple Butter Pecan Cupcakes

Fabulous Fruit Tart
Another week begins! This weekend was so busy for me. As Benzo and I ran from this activity to that activity, I found myself longing for Unplugged Weekend. One fun thing we did yesterday was a BBQ get together with Do-Dad's side of the family. My aunt and uncle hosted and everyone brought something to… Continue reading Fabulous Fruit Tart
