Cinnamon Bun Joy

indulge yourself!

The Pioneer Woman has hers. Many other people have theirs. All get rave reviews from various quarters. And I have a recipe too. I didn’t, like, INVENT it. But I tweaked it to (what I consider to be) perfection, so I thought I’d share.

Cinnamon rolls. Yum! It’s Easter, isn’t it? The season of rejoicing is a great time to make these babies.

I like to make them for Sunday breakfast, because I can do... READ MORE 


Brunch Inspiration

please share some!

One of the most challenging aspects of going to early Mass every Sunday is how utterly starving we all are once we’re done. No one (especially me!) ever wants to go home to cook because we are ready to eat right then, as soon as we get in the van.

The thought of having to pull out ingredients and cook something seems like more than anyone can take. And while I don’t really mind going out to eat, I... READ MORE 


Planning Now for Easter Brunch

Some quick and easy ideas for this weekend's feast

Thinking ahead to Sunday, if you’re stumped about what to prepare for your family brunch celebration, you may want to check out this quick and easy egg casserole recipe that can be prepared in advance and baked on Sunday morning.  Do you have special plans for Sunday’s meal or traditional recipes you love to bring out and share?


Easter Brunch

what's cooking?

Do you have anything special planned for Easter brunch?

Let me rephrase: what special thing do you have planned for Easter brunch?

On my menu this year, in addition to my usual intake of four Reese’s peanut butter eggs before anyone has blinked will be a delicious strata from the Joy of Cooking cookbook. It’s easy—you make it the night before—and even better, everyone in my family loves it. It’s a simple mixture of sliced French bread, layered with cheddar cheese and sausage with a milk egg mixture poured on top. Leave it all to soak overnight and bake in the morning.

Please share what you’ve got planned—maybe it will inspire someone else who’s still working on a menu!
