I've had a craving for S'mores since last summer, so when I finally made S'mores cupcakes for Dustin's birthday, I thought the craving for S'mores would go away. Not the case. Every time I see the mini marshmallows in the cabinet I want to bust them out and eat them with chocolate and graham crackers. I've always liked S'mores, but they were...

Until recently I was never much of an oatmeal person, and when I did eat oatmeal it was always the instant microwave kind. I honestly just preferred cold cereal most of the time. The flavor choices always seem more interesting (i.e. more sugary for me) when I walked down the aisle in the grocery store, and most of the time when I ate oatmeal, it...

As stated before, I hate making pancakes. But these pancakes looked so good, and I really wanted to try them. Instead I did a little research on the difference between pancake and waffle batter. I couldn't find a good article written by an authoritative source with the differences, but after reading some discussion threads, I found some...

Hands down. Best. French. Toast. EVER. Good French Toast starts with good bread, which is probably why this French Toast was so delicious. However, I think I'm going to take credit and say it was my amazing cooking skills. Knowing we were making our favorite French Toast this week in celebration of Dustin's birthday, we stopped at Macrina...

We always go for the free sample whenever we stop by the market, even if we aren't planning on buying fish. However, the sample always makes us want to...

A waffle iron may not sound like the sweetest gift in the world as an anniversary present. In fact is sounds a little like a selfish one— “Here’s your gift…Now make me waffles!” But in fact a waffle iron has turned into one of the most thoughtful and useful gifts I’ve ever gotten from Dustin. Dustin knows how much I love to go out for brunch,...

Some of my rediscovered treats in the freezer are some buttermilk biscuits. Biscuits are something I’ve never even thought about trying to make, but with all of my leftover buttermilk I decided to give it a go after being inspired by a picture on foodgawker. I didn’t care for the recipe that was connected with the picture because it called for...

What’s the best way to start the workweek? According to Dustin, not having to go to work. According to Erin, starting off the morning right with a delicious dessert breakfast. Luckily for us, we were able to experience both.  This Labor Day we got up early and I made mini chocolate donuts using a recipe I had favorited on foodgawker a few...
