Difficulty Level: 5/5 Every time I walk into a cafe, I’m drawn toward the croissants. Fun shape, beautiful layers, and taste perfect at any time of day. Since I’ve been on a bit of a baking spree since starting this site, I thought I’m going to make some! How hard could it be? I ranked…
Infused H2O
Difficulty Level: 1/5 During the Great Summer Heatwave of 2019, I was looking for any and every creative way to beat the heat! While cocktails are an obvious choice, I wanted something cold to drink that would also help keep me hydrated. So I chose water. But not just any old tap water…infused water! Below…

Breakfast Skillet
Difficulty Level: 3 / 5 I got the inspiration for this dish from Chrissy Teigen! I saw the photos from her Spicy Tomato Skillet Eggs with Prosciutto and after a few minutes of mouth watering, I decided to give it a try. While my husband loved the recipe, I felt as though it looked better…

Eggs Benedict: Ramsay vs. Oliver
Difficulty Level: 5/5 One of my New Year’s Resolutions was to learn how to make a proper eggs benedict.

Cheesy Garlic Rolls

The Journey Begins
For years, I have found joy in kneading out a new bread recipe, steadying my hand at cake decorating, and indulging in an episode (or six) of baking shows and cooking competitions on television. While food is a routine part of each day, it is the creation of food that I really look forward too….
