Some foods notoriously sound fancy, stuffy, and complicated.  These same foods normally intimidate me and, as a result, in the past I have shied away from making them.  Baking my own bread has always been on that "intimidating list," as has making homemade pies and poaching pears.  For some reason, the idea of "poaching" something [...]

This waffle recipe features two of my favorite breakfast ingredients: blueberries and coconut.  This is the perfect weekend breakfast recipe for two. Breakfast deserves to be a little extra special on the weekends.  Don't get me wrong.  I love cereal, toast, and overnight oats for my first meal of the day, but on the weekends [...]

I know what you are probably thinking. "What in the world is wrong with this girl?  Something that is green and something that is purple should not be combined.  At least not when it comes to food." But hear me out... Yes, that is avocado. Yes, that is blackberry jam. And despite the fact that [...]

I am definitely a pizza kind of girl. And I am definitely a breakfast pizza kind of girl. Breakfast pizza is somewhat of a staple here in the Midwest.  And if you grew up eating breakfast pizza like I did, you know that the best places to buy it from are gas stations, especially Casey's General [...]
