Dreamy Cranberry Cream Scones

I finally got a pastry blender for Christmas. I’ve been wanting one for awhile – I’ve been using two knives to try and cut cold butter into flour when making doughs . . . which doesn’t always work so well. The pastry blender? Easy. So I decided to try and make some scones. I’ve made [...]

Spinach and Cheese Strata

I love breakfasts that you can prepare the night before and just pop in the oven. So little effort for such a great payout. This was another Deb classic (I mean, seriously, why do you even read my blog since I only seem to post recipes from Smitten Kitchen) and it lived up to the [...]
