Every year I bake my Grandma Jean's Molasses Cookies using a recipe written by her own hand in beautiful cursive. The aroma fills my house and brings back lots of sweet memories.
I wish you could have met my Grandma Jean. She was an awesome woman. Loved Jesus, which shined through everything she did and said. She was strong and confident, yet so approachable and so caring. Baking her recipe makes me smile as well as miss her and my Grandpa Frank a lot.
I have been infatuated with embossing rolling pins and their designs.
Last year I received my first set of embossing rollers and absolutely love them!
I’ve been a Birkenstock wearing wannabe hippie since before wearing Birkenstocks were a cool fad in the PNW. But the other week I took my wannabe hippie status to a whole new level! I MADE GRANOLA! Yes! Yes I did! And it is so crazy good that I am questioning myself on why it took me THIS long to realize 1) it’s crazy easy to make and 2) WAY more cost effective then buying it in the store. Plus, it makes the house smell divine!
A week or so ago Jerry brought this super yummy Chickpea salad home from the store. It was super yummy and we knew we could replicate it ourselves and make it even better. So yesterday, Jerry did just that! And OH MAN is it good!

Aaaah Christmas time! Nothing feels quite like the holidays than an overload of carbs, cookies, and candies!

Where there is bread, there Michelle will be with a stick of butter.
Y’all. (No I’m not southern, it just felt like it fit.) I LOVE BREAD. I have since I was a wee one. Any holiday feast or Sunday roast was not without my Grandma Jean’s homemade rolls. They are soft, buttery, and oh sooooo delicious! Especially when it was paired with her strawberry jelly. So good!
I love the smells that fall and winter brings.
Yes, yes, technically it is not winter yet. But, that doesn’t mean my house can’t enjoy the lovely aroma of mulled spices.
Christmas Traditions.
Many of us have them. And one of ours is baking my Grandma Jean’s Molasses Cookies. These aren’t just ANY molasses cookies either. These are DIVINE molasses cookies that are soft and chewy and make you come back again and again. They are a family favorite and I bake them only once a year.
I love Christmas time! And one thing I love almost as much as Christmas time is BREAD!
I have alllllways loved bread! That paired with GOOD butter is a taste of Heaven! And yes! REAL, salted, GOOD butter matters!!
Not sure about you, but when it is hot outside. I don't have much of an appetite to eat heavy things. Give me light, fresh, and clean eating!
We have a weekend tradition of making waffles, pancakes, or french toast on the weekends. And now that little Mr. is here, I want him to be able to join in on the fun as well too. Sure, I can purchase Gluten Free waffles from the store. But I would much rather make them at home with wholesome ingredients vs. the junk they stick in the others.
