Cranberry Pumpkin Spice Scones combine my favorite flavors of Fall into one delicious treat. I eat them for breakfast and tea time, and you should too! You know, I’ve come to realize that I miss baking. More often than not, I let the kid and the job come first, which of course, they should. But …
There’s nothing quite like a sweet breakfast with your sweetheart on Valentine’s Day. I knew that I wanted to make something special for James, something that called to summer and love, and to his British homeland. Lucky for me, Casey and I went sour cherry picking last summer, and I have an entire 8 pounds …

I can hardly believe it. In just a few short days, my nephew Davey enters Kindergarten for the first time. I’m so excited, freaked out, flabbergasted – and I’m just his aunt! I can’t imagine how my sister is feeling about all of this. Since removing high fructose corn syrup from the kids’ diet earlier …
This weekend is the first in a long time that we a) have a working kitchen and b) didn’t have any plans. I said to James mid-week, “So far, we don’t have any plans for the weekend. Let’s keep it that way!” Instead, we decided to spend the weekend sleeping in, and planning things we’d …
So this post isn’t by your wonderful blog author, but instead her web tech and general dogsbody husband, James. She’s been nagging me for a while about posting my recipe for Rock cakes, so here you go. Enjoy! Now Rock Cakes aren’t exactly southern fare, in fact they belong more in Hogwarts than Texas, but …
