I remember when my mom would make Classic Flan at home. It always seemed fancy, somehow, but it really isn’t too complicated. (You do need to be watchful during all parts of the preparation/cooking, though!) Did you know? Flan is a Mexican custard that can be served warm or cold with garnishes such as strawberries, […] Read more…
Favorite Cinnamon Roll Coffee Cake
To know me is to know I love baking. (And shoes and dresses and gardening, but those are all for different blog posts.) The first recipe I remember learning how to make as a kid was chocolate chip cookies and I had a kids’ baking cookbook that I very nearly wore out. I also remember […] Read more…
For the Love of Special K Bars
I’m fairly sure the Internet doesn’t really need another post with the world-famous Special K Bars recipe. I mean, seriously. We could all search a thousand recipe posts on Pinterest for these sinful delights. But I’m defying the blogging gods and posting this anyway because these bars are just too powerful. 🙂 I made this […] Read more…

My son would verbalize it this way: I’m just not feeling Monday. But while I can deny all I want, Monday is still coming straight at me in just a few […] Read more…
Turkey Roll-Ups
I’m excited to share one of my favorite recipes ever – Turkey Roll-Ups! It’s simple but full of flavor and my go-to for get-togethers for sure. But first, I can’t tell you how happy I am to see Friday night. It’s not that I had a bad week – quite the contrary, I had a […] Read more…
Laundry is Relaxing?
After spending the past 5 of 6 weekends away from home, I couldn’t wait to hang at home this weekend with no big plans, other than dinner out Friday night. Don’t get me wrong – every one of those weekends away was fun and resulted in several of my recent blog posts (here, here and […] Read more…
