The holidays in a pan are here! Just one sniff and you’ll think Thanksgiving morning. The sweet smell of cinnamon, cloves, ginger make this bread so so good. The pumpkin and sourdough starter (discard) is in there to give it extra moisture. And the pecans give it just a little bit of crunch. It keeps […]

Well, apple season really just snuck up on me, right? Same for you?? Well, it’s lucky I like this time of year. 🙂 Now, let’s talk about what to make with all these apples. Apples apples and more apples! What to do with them? Well for one, I love making pie with them. Warm, stewed […]
Sweet Cast-Iron Skillet Buttermilk Cornbread
I’ve been making cornbread since before I could walk. Every year at Thanksgiving, my job was to make the cornbread (but as muffins). I made the exact same recipe every year and while everyone said they liked them, truth-be-told, I never did. I thought they were dry and hard to swallow. So a few years […]
Best Apple Bundt Cake Ever
Ever have one of those weekends where no matter what it’s like outside, it feels like another time of year inside? That’s how I felt today when we made this cake today. It was 90 degrees outside and yet we were feeling all Autumn-y inside. Apples, cinnamon, blankets… the works! I have no idea why […]
Sunday Roast (Roast Chicken & Veggies)

Ms. Lee’s Carrot Salad
Amelia has been practicing some life skills in her class and one of them involves peeling carrots and potatoes. It’s one of those things you don’t really think of practicing with your kids but when they do learn, it makes a world of difference. It means they can help with one more thing for dinner […]
Roasted Potato Leek Soup
It’s soup season so I’m trying to make a different soup every week! I can’t even believe how long it’s been since I made a potato leek soup so I knew it was time to make it again. This is the perfect time of year to break out the potato. They’re in abundance, everyone loves […]
