there is something about saturday mornings that make them so inherently different than the weekday hustle and bustle. maybe it's because there's no set schedule, maybe it's because we don't have to go in to work, or maybe it's because my kids - after being so busy and active during the week - take ...
breakfast
mini cinnamon french toast trifles :: a sweet breakfast idea
while my husband was in canada for a wedding and it was just the boys and i at home, i thought it would be fun to surprise them with a "fancy" breakfast just for them. especially since it was the weekend. and it was general conference, and we like to do something a little special for breakfast that ...
southern biscuits and gravy
confession: i'm not southern. i'm not even close. so when my husband suggested we eat biscuits and gravy the other day, i had no idea what he was talking about. i had to google it. it turns out the gravy is made with sausage and a white sauce (flour, milk, salt, and pepper) and you serve it with ...

my new favorite :: raspberry peach freezer jam
this week a girl in my neighborhood organized a peach delivery - 20lb boxes of fresh peaches from a local orchard. to say that 20lbs gives you a lot of peaches is an understatement - that box is something of a bottomless pit! so while we've been eating them fresh, making peach jam, and canning them ...
homemade blueberry muffins
i can remember my mom making these blueberries muffins often - even in the winter months! she would use either fresh or frozen blueberries to make them, and so would freeze the many, many pounds we'd pick during the summer months to use in sundaes, smoothies, and of course, these muffins! and now i ...
easy breakfast idea :: sausage & red pepper scrambled eggs
my kids love cereal. they always have and it seems as though they always will. but the thing that gets me is that within 1/2 hour of eating said cereal they are always, always, telling me that they're hungry again. it just doesn't seem to fill them up. so i've been trying to come up with healthier, ...
easy homemade cinnamon rolls (overnight + frozen too!)
for as long as i can remember, my husband's family has made cinnamon rolls. there's something sweet about watching his whole family make their way to the kitchen once the smell of these cinnamon rolls waft its way around the house. so since moving away, i've attempted to make them a few times and am ...
homemade granola
this past week as i was stocking up (again) on cereal from the grocery store and then proceeded to put away said cereal in my pantry, i noticed that 99% of this cereal *i* would never eat. not that i haven't eaten it in the past - i used to love this stuff. lucky charms - amazing. reese puffs - used ...
