ever since getting my first waffle iron this year, one of my favorite easy breakfasts for the little she and myself is buttermilk waffles. i like to make the batter the night before, and then in the morning all i need to do is heat up the iron and scramble us some eggs and breakfast…

scrambled egg muffins
mornings can be tough, yo. especially when you are rushing around and really getting tired of eggs and toast every. single. morning. we all need a little excitement, and that excitement in my house, has to be kid-friendly. these not-really-a-muffin muffins are all of the above. so delicious, kids love ’em, and they’ve been a…
homemade strawberry sauce
this past saturday, we had a birthday party for the little she and all of her friends (her actual birthday isn’t until the end of the month, but with everyone’s schedules in may we decided to start the celebration early:). it was a small shindig at our house (because of near-freezing temperatures – in may…
banana chai muffins
the little she loves muffins. more than snow. more than puppy dawgs. more than chocolate. more than dora. probably more than her own family. she seriously goes ca-razy (insert pauly shore voice) when i tell her we have muffins, will be making muffins, or will be eating muffins that day. these are her favorite…
blueberry cornmeal cake
new favorite alert, folks! this buttery, blueberry-y brunch beauty has stolen my heart and my taste buds. it is the recipe from huckleberry bakery & cafe in santa monica CA that was published in bon appetit a few years back. i tried it this week on a good friend of mine and her toddler and…
spiced pumpkin baked french toast
i know fall is over and it’s just plain cold winter now, but i am still loving the pumpkin flavor in everything. (a few of you know exactly what i’m talkin’ about!) i worked on & tweaked this recipe until it was just right, and believe me, it took a few times. (but the little…
cinnamon coffee cake
this coffee cake is is becoming my go-to for brunches and celebrations, one that will never fail and never fail to please a lot of people. also, one that will never fail to make me eat half of the pan and fight people off for a piece. it is perfectly moist and the thick crumb streusel…
itty bitty cinnamon rolls
this is genius. really. and i owe it all to a very, very old southern living cookbook that i thumbed through while staying at my dear friend, tanna’s house in okc. this recipe has come in handy a lot this summer when we are not home very often and our kitchen food supply is hilariously…
crispy french toast
my husband can be a little picky when it comes to certain foods. french toast just happens to be one of them. he has a thing with the sogginess of regular french toast (for me, i find the sogginess quite divine). so every friday night i get an itch to make something fun for breakfast…
banana oatmeal coffee cake with cinnamon streusel
in my humble opinion, for breakfast or brunch you really can’t beat a good coffee cake. i grew up going to a summer camp that served the most amazing coffee cake every sunday. ever since i have been in love with and searching for the perfect coffee cake. recently, i had a random thought that…
best ever blueberry muffins
these are the perfect blueberry muffins. these gorgeous little pieces of heaven are STUFFED with fresh, not frozen, blueberries. overflowing with them. they are thicker, more like a biscuit and on top, a sprinkle of sugar creates this crunch when you bite into them. i have had more than my share of blueberry muffins in…
cinnamon bun muffins – gluten free
now, i don’t personally eat gluten-free, but i made these for a good friend several years ago who had just had a baby – her husband eats gluten-free and we were taking over brunch. these turned out so well (read: they were devoured by both adults & kiddos within minutes), i decided to post them on…
