I remember the first time that I had monkey bread, as a child; it was at my best friend’s house and she pulled a can of biscuit dough out of the refrigerator and said “Have you ever had monkey bread?”  If the name isn’t enough catch the attention of a kid, the flavors and whole [...]

What with the trick or treating and costuming and melt down of a particular five-year-old after her friend got to ring one too many doorbells in a row…well, we were all a bit groggy this morning.  I was asked, “why does it have to be so stressful every morning…?”  After a bit of discussion we [...]

I have a confession to make.  I love, adore, salivate for, breakfast sandwiches.  Breakfast food is one of my favorite categories of foods to cook as well as eat.  I aim at least once a week(end) to prepare a proper breakfast — or brunch.  Tofu scramble, biscuits & gravy,  scones, muffins, pancakes, hashbrowns, fruit salads; [...]

Biscuits & gravy are one of our favorite weekend breakfasts; we discovered Upton’s Naturals products which we like even better than some of the other ‘fake sausage’ types out there. The husband made the gravy extra-rich with sage, onions, and garlic; it was delicious.  Our biscuit recipe is an old standby from the Fanny Farmer [...]
