Perfectly Fluffy Biscuits

I am such a sucker for Southern food! I experienced Southern style food here and there growing up, but it wasn’t until I went to school in Tallahassee, Florida at Florida State, that I experienced real Southern food. Tallahassee might as well be Georgia, they are so close!

Sausage, Pepper, and Potato Breakfast Casserole

I have been getting ready for Easter in my house, and with that comes a lot of eggs! I like to “blow out” the eggs so that I can use the raw eggs to cook with, instead of having smelly hardboiled eggs around (tutorial here).

A Healthy Take On The Shamrock Shake With Matcha

I’m pretty sure that the only thing this “shake” and the Shamrock Shake have in common is the fact that they are both green! Don’t hate me, but I am not a huge fan of the very popular seasonal shake!

Adventures With a Toddler and Keeping Healthy With Naked Cold Pressed Juice

Having a toddler is nonstop! I am constantly looking for ways to entertain him, because I don’t want our “quality time” together to be sitting at home watching TV. Sometimes that can be an easy trap to fall into, especially since I work from home.

Whole Wheat Buttermilk Oatmeal Scones with Honey Cinnamon Icing

I know, I know…I make a lot of scones, but they are just so good. I always talk about how convenient scones are to have around, because you can make them ahead of time, and store them in the freezer. The best part is they can go straight from the freezer to the oven!

Finding Time For Veggies with Naked Cold Pressed Juice

Time seems to fly during busy weekdays. Who am I kidding? I am a parent; I’m busy on the weekends too. It always seems to feel like I can’t fit in “downtime.” I can’t say I have a typical job, because I work from home, and then run around town going to class, going on auditions, shooting segments, shopping for crafts, and running the everyday errands.

Oatmeal Cream Scones with Roasted Strawberry Butter

Scones are at the top of my freezer friendly favorites, because they can go straight from the freezer to the oven. I love the convenience! They also happen to be one of my favorite foods, because they are rich, buttery, and crumbly.
