Strawberry & Blackberry Tart

I make this tart throughout the year with whatever sounds good at the time. Strawberries and blackberries were available in my market this weekend so I made this for a friend who is at home awaiting the arrival of twins.  I thought a slice of this...

PW’s Monkey Bread Muffins

I saw this Pioneer Woman recipe on Pinterest last night and happened to have the ingredients on hand so I made a batch this morning and thought they were delicious. These are super easy and fast, nothing fancy here but really satisfying. I made mine a...

 Perfect make ahead breakfast and it smells heavenly while it’s cooking!  The only tough thing about this recipe is remembering to put it together the night before – it’s usually a holiday and things are chaotic so it’s easy to forget! Mom always wrote herself a...
