Once more, I am forced to say... 'I'm sorry' and... 'you're welcome' in the same sentence.
Who says 'you can't have your cake and eat it too?' Not this girl.
If you haven't noticed yet... I am all about sweets and treats. Eatings skinny and healthy doesn't mean things can't be fun or enjoyed!...

Baking has been the name of the game in my house lately. What else is there to do when you’re stuck where you are for days, weeks, and months on end? When we decided to make some steak for dinner, I thought it was high time to whip up some of that famous ‘steal house’ bread that we all know and love.
You know the bread that I’m talking about. The soft, sweet, fluffy brown bread that is often served up with a whipped honey butter. This bread is exactly like that one. The only difference is that it’s homemade and in a larger loaf form!…

Several years ago I had a bread machine. It was big and bulky and took up a LOT of my kitchen space… which let me just tell you, its REALLY limited as it is. After it’s fair share of use, the bread machine started to act up and, long story short, I ended up getting rid of it.
Over the last year or so, I’ve had the desire to get another bread machine. There’s just something truly satisfying about making your own bread and being able to take charge of what’s in it and how it’s flavored. So, I bit the bullet and got a new one! It’s a lot more quiet and significantly smaller than the old one. The first thing on my list to make? Homemade whole wheat english muffins, of course!…

While it’s cold enough outside for a few more months, I’m planning on doing a lot more baking and using up precious oven time while I can. The heat of the summer (and sometimes spring) often keeps from being able to comfortably bake anything. At all. Ever. To keep on theme with the Holidays, I thought I would whip up a festive bread for breakfast this morning.
This Cranberry Orange Bread is loaded with flavor, the freshness of the orange and the tartness of the cranberry pair well with the sweetness of the bread. Plus, it’s pretty easy to toss together in the morning and bakes for a good amount of hands off time…

Baby it’s cold outside…
And I need some biscuits in my life! Now, I’ve made some simple biscuits in the past, like my 3 ingredient biscuits or even these low carb ones that I paired with gravy. Today though, I wanted to stay simple and have some biscuits on hand for breakfast sandwiches this week. I didn’t want just any old biscuit though, I wanted them to be whole wheat this time around!
I took some of the basics from my 3 ingredient biscuits and made the needed adjustments to turn them into whole wheat biscuits instead. Of course the thing that made the ‘ 3 ingredient’ version was the self-rising flour…

As far as breakfasts go, I’m a pretty simple creature. I like simple things. And if I can make it ahead of time? Bonus points! This Pumpkin Spice French Toast Bake covers both bases with just a handful of ingredients needed and a few minutes of hands on time.
This French Toast Bake is basically a french toast that’s been turned into a casserole and had all the fun flavors of Fall tossed into it. Pumpkin and pumpkin spice and everything nice!…
