This recipe was originally going to be specifically an Apple Pie French Toast Bake, but I’ve now made it so many times with all different fruits and loved each one that it seemed like being too specific to apples didn’t encourage the creativity that this recipe thrives on. The basis is a very straightforward French…

Sweet Potato Pancakes
Greetings, friends. Today’s recipe for Sweet Potato Pancakes is one that adds a little extra comfort to the breakfast menu rotation. I like to use roasted sweet potatoes (great use for leftovers!), but canned sweet potatoes are perfectly fine too! If you’re feeling particularly indulgent, top with some whipped cream and toasted pecans. I absolutely…

Sour Cream Banana Bread
Hi friends, Happy Holidays! You may be wondering why I’m sharing a banana bread recipe in the days leading up to Christmas instead of gingerbread or something more iconic for the season. Well, because I feel like we all need to give ourselves a little reminder that simple is good. I have been planning a…
A Study In Sourdough: Part 4- Sourdough English Muffins
Making these Sourdough English Muffins is my favorite way to use my Sourdough Starter in these hot summer months. No oven required! I would love to say I always have a stash of them on hand, but quite frankly, I can’t keep them around more than an hour or so before my family gobbles them…

Homemade Nutella
Confession time. I consume a shameful amount of Nutella on a nearly daily basis. I could be a professional Nutella eater and would never get sick of the silky smooth, chocolat-ey, hazelnut-filled spread that is heavenly on just about everything. While living in Italy I got accustomed to the good stuff. Truth: Italian Nutella is…
Monkey Bread (From Scratch!)
Happy Spring! We’re fully enjoying our first days of sunshine and milder temperatures in Michigan this week. Sometimes we get overeager for the warmer days, or at least I know I do. I left the house the other morning without a jacket because it felt so warm out…only to realize once I was on the road…
Mama’s Super Soft Cinnamon Rolls
I’ve been on a quest for the most perfectly soft cinnamon rolls for what seems like ages. I can’t tell you how many batches I’ve made along the way, but there have been a LOT. Finally, it dawned on me. I needed to start with my very favorite roll dough that makes the absolute best, most…
Perfect Popovers
I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve always wanted to make popovers. They seem so impressive in all their golden, puffed up glory. Popovers are basically a beautiful, puffy, hollow, crêpe-in-the-shape-of-a-muffin that pair perfectly with just about any spread you can imagine. It only seemed fitting that popovers were the first recipe I worked…
