Homemade CinnaBuns- The easy way!

Pin it These cinnamon rolls have power behind them – real power. You could pretty much get anything you wanted if you showed up toting a plate of these babies, warm with icing oozing down the side. Regardless of their power, though, I want you to try to use them only for good. Rather than [...]

Pork Chop Biscuits – Fast Food My Way

Pin it With few exceptions, I don’t care for fast food. Fast food has no heart to it. Someone gets paid minimum wage to slap a microscopic meat patty on a bun and lower some fries in oil, add in a coke and charge $5. Voila, here’s your meal. Toss in a toy or small [...]

Chocolate Gravy

How To Make Buttermilk Biscuits

Pin it (Originally published July 1, 2008) I told my mother I was going to do a web tutorial on how to make buttermilk biscuits, a staple in the south. She said “Oh, you HAVE to do that new recipe!”. Now, admittedly, these are awfully good. So good, in fact, that my mother has abandoned [...]

Pumpkin Spice Muffins with Streusel (You’re not going to believe what the ingredients are!)

Pin it I don’t know if pumpkin is a southern thing. You always hear of pumpkin pie on Southern tables at Thanksgiving and such, but no one in my family has ever made a pumpkin pie to my knowledge. I had never tasted anything at all with pumpkin until about three years ago. While on [...]

Jeff Cook’s Butter Pecan Muffins

These are delicious. They taste very butterscotchey, buttery, and pecany. Jeff was right, I would have never had a clue what the secret ingredient was, much less how easy they were to make!

Apple Orchard Snack Cake

I often find with recipes, as with memories, it is the simple things which satisfy us the most. This recipe is the perfect example of that. A classic snack cake that is not too sweet, the simple ingredients make it a breeze to throw together. Add in the full flavor of locally grown apples (preferably from a family orchard trip!) and you can’t go wrong.

Apple Spice Muffins!

I have never known anyone who did not absolutely love these muffins. The cool thing about them, and what my mother liked so much with a large family to feed, is that you can use any type of apple and it makes no difference – they will still be just as good. You can also use those apples that are starting to get a little soft and running out of their shelf life. They work great in here and no one will ever know.

Raisin Bran Muffins – Ready When You Are!

This is my mother’s favorite muffin and there is a darn good reason why. Once made, the batter sits happily in your fridge for up to one month. All you need do is scoop out enough to make your muffins for the day. Only need one or two muffins for your breakfast? Perfect, just scoop out that much and cover the rest to have another day.

Crock Pot Oatmeal ~Breakfast In Bed!~

I’m not sure if it is popular or “in” anymore (I’m not sure if anything I do is popular or in anymore…) but I love and adore oatmeal. In fact, the only thing I’d rather have for breakfast than a creamy bowl of oatmeal is one of Mama’s ham and cheese omelets like she used to make me.
