Biscuits

Okay, so its been awhile since I've posted on here. I have been super busy getting ready for my trip to the desert. Last night, we went to my sister, Rachael's house for what I think you would call a house-warming party and sometime during the night, my husband told me he wanted biscuits and gravy for breakfast in the morning. Apparently that's his hint for, "Make me some biscuits, woman!"... also it means he's doing the dishes.

Cinnamon Rolls

Today is my oldest's first day of Kindergarten. Man, time flies. It seems just like yesterday when a 19-year old version of me was looking at this tiny baby wondering how I, of all people, will be able to take care of this beautiful little boy. Five years later, I still look at him with no clue. I'm pretty sure I'm just as excited/nervous for him to start school as he is, if not more. I'm so excited for this momentous occasion that I decided it would only be right to make a special treat for breakfast. Enter homemade cinnamon rolls. Am I not the best mom ever?

Sugar Cookies

I've been feeling rather bummed lately because I know I won't be home for the holidays this year and when I realized I would miss all the baking for Thanksgiving and possibly Christmas, I decided to have Christmas in July. One thing that is a tradition in my family, dated back to when I was a kid, is making sugar cookies. We usually would cut them into little snowman and candy cane shapes and decorate them with gobs of frosting, usually causing diabetic shock to anyone who dared eat one, but considering it is July, I decided to just go with a basic round cookie this time.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have a few different kinds of cookies on this blog but I haven't posted a basic chocolate chip cookie recipe. Chocolate chip cookies are simple, all-american, and in my opinion, a staple recipe for any baker. I've been trying to bulk up my blog with basic recipes for people who don't bake often like I do and I thought this would be a good start.

Banana Bread

My kids love bananas. I also like them. They are a really convenient and healthy snack that I can just grab and bring with me to work in case I get hungry. Plus they are packed with potassium and a bunch of other really good vitamins. However, sometimes we buy too many and aren't able to eat them before they ripen. I'm sure this has happened to you all and in my opinion, instead of throwing them out, everyone should just have a really delicious banana bread recipe in their arsenal.
