Over the past month we have enjoyed our Frigidaire Symmetry Double Oven but to be honest with you, haven’t had the opportunity to really give it a good workout. This past week, things changed and we made up for lost time! Over the last seven days, we have used our Frigidaire Symmetry Double Oven to…

Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day Cookbook
I just got done making the easiest loaf of homemade bread, ever. I make homemade bread a lot… I enjoy making bread but often times will use my bread machine to make things easier. I’ve known about the Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day Cookbook for quite some time, but had ignored making it…
Our Favorite Cutout Sugar Cookie Recipe
It just dawned on me that of all the years I’ve been blogging, I have never shared our absolute favorite recipe for cutout sugar cookies. I think the reason is, I never have an end picture. Either it’s dark by the time we are totally done decorating or we’ve eaten them all already, but for…

Morning Thanks {Recipe: Eggnog French Toast}
In my fantasy world, mornings would be calm…a time for soft music and happy chatter. Ideally, I would get up before the kids, sit down to a nice cup of coffee, catch up on the days news (aka Twitter, Facebook, Instagram) and make a delicious breakfast for all to share.
Is Good? {Recipe: Eggnog Syrup for Pancakes or Waffles}
