Brunch Potatoes
Are you looking for a side dish that you can prepare ahead of time? Brunch potatoes pair well with ham, roasts or even on a brunch menu. These can be prepared the night before and put in the oven the following day.
Goof Proof Homemade Cinnamon Rolls
I love homemade cinnamon rolls and they were always part of our holiday breakfasts when I was growing up. Every Thanksgiving my mom made cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate for breakfast.

Carmel Apple Pecan Pie
The weather here in Texas is finally cooling down and it is beginning to feel like fall. New crop apples are now available and this is one of my favorite desserts. I usually double the recipe and freeze one for a later date. If you decide to do this you can prepare the pie (streusel […]
