When No One’s Watching {Recipe: French Toast Monkey Bread}
There are things I do when no one is watching that I’m not so proud of. Today, I took a giant swig of my coffee creamer.. by itself… WITHOUT the coffee. I couldn’t help it though.

A Look at the Next 365 Days {Recipe: Country Oatmeal Bread}
I grew up in a home where bread with stuff in it was the norm. Hearty whole grain bread with oatmeal, nuts, wheat bits and more… the more stuff baked inside the bread, the better. I not so affectionately called it old people bread. Oh, how I longed for soft, tender pieces of white Wonder [...]

Baking Bread {Recipe: Country White Dinner Rolls for the ABM}
I’ve never been a fan of the huge Thanksgiving feast. I love food, I love gathering together, but “traditional” Thanksgiving food has never been my favorite.
