One of my favorite things in summer is a cup of iced coffee in the afternoon. I recently learned the art of making ice cream at home too. So it wasn’t long until I figured out that the two can be combined into one delicious treat. I’m pretty particular about my coffee and was […]
There are few things more tasty than melted cheese and crispy potatoes. Conebella Farm’s Sharp Cheddar won first prize and best in show at the Pennsylvania Farm Show earlier this year, and there’s no debate that this cheddar is truly delicious in any form, but melted on potatoes is an absolutely delicious way to enjoy […]
I used to always have a batch of freshly baked Maple Pecan Granola on hand. Always. I ate it every morning for breakfast with milk or yogurt, and often as snacks with yogurt and fresh fruit. Then life got in the way and I stopped baking granola as often. I resorted to buying granola, which […]
Whether you’re planning for a busy morning or a lazy weekend, a breakfast casserole is an excellent way to take some of the stress out of your morning routine. Any time I can make things ahead of time to ease some of the morning rush is a win in my book! They also make a […]

Ready or not, fall schedules are here with all of the busyness this brings to our weeknight meal planing. At this time of year I find that even my well-intentioned meal plans fall by the wayside if I can get away with serving leftovers for dinner a night or two in a row. And then […]
