I am a pancake fiend. I love pancakes. I love all pancakes. I love flat pancakes that you smear with butter and syrup and roll up like a burrito, I love dense pancakes filled with spelt and dried cherries, but most of all I love a giant stack of fluffy pancakes that tower above your…

Chimichurri Green Sauce
I still remember the first time I had this sauce. My husband and I had just moved to Houston from New Orleans. We didn’t know many people yet, and my husband’s friend’s mom invited us all over for dinner. She made an entire beef tenderloin! I had never seen one before and didn’t know what…
Ham & Cheddar Scones
All over the country, we are having snow and cold in unexpected places. These ham and cheddar scones are the perfect antidote to this polar vortex.

Southern Style Biscuits
I grew up eating biscuits at least twice a week with dinner. It was our bread of choice. Growing up in a family of 6, these biscuits helped ensure everyone at the table had something they were excited to eat and made sure everyone left with a full tummy. The topping choices are endless! Try…
Easy Apple Oatmeal
Cooking seasonally is one of my favorite themes to incorporate. It just makes me feel like a productive human. I love that produce is fresher, cheaper, and more delicious. Our two apple trees are bursting with apples. We’ve been having them raw at every meal, but I need to amp up my usage! This easy…
