Homemade popsicles are a thing of nostalgia for me. As a kid, I would spend weeks at my grandparent’s house during the summer. One of our morning tasks would be to mix a pitcher of Kool-Aid to pour into the popsicle molds to enjoy in the afternoon heat. This blog post isn’t to convince you [...]
There are so many possibilities when creating this recipe. Sugar Cookie Fruit Pizza is perfect for any large gathering. This year, I created an egg shape for Easter.

The second key element was my rolling pin. It was temporarily MIA; which resulted in overly thick layers for my scones. Good news [...]
Growing up my mom cooked almost five nights a week. Freshly baked biscuits were always a staple around the dinner table. Nothing was better than eating a warm biscuit with my grandmother's homemade plum jam. Biscuits were also a must for any meals served with gravy. Remembering these fond memories I had of hot biscuits [...]
As a kid, summer was my favorite time of year. Not just because school was out, but because I would spend most of my summer break in Georgia at my Grandparents’ house. My siblings and I had free rein hundreds of acres. We built forts, picked blackberries, played hide-and-go-seak, and occasionally in the late afternoons, [...]

As we approach almost a month in isolation, finding things to occupy our time has been difficult. There's only so much Netflix, YouTube, and going on walks a person can do. I've personally turned to baking as my drug of choice. It has helped me focus on doing a task and the result is tasty. [...]
