These are a few of my favorite things. Baked oatmeals are a favorite go-to breakfast for something a little extra special for company or for making ahead.

So blueberries are back in the stores! Yippee! I adore fresh blueberries, and couldn’t resist the temptation to buy some on a whim when I saw them last week. So glad I did. They’re fresh and bright, sweet and delicious, and the perfect taste of spring to keep me going through these ridiculously cold weeksRead more

This comes together in about 10 minutes, so it’sRead more
Mom had a no good, very bad day yesterday, so I told her I’d treat her today. When I saw this scone recipe I knew it’d be a great way to start the day and make her feel taken care of. These scones are very subtly sweet, so if you’re into sweet baked goods forRead more
