  • Mom It Down! Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Scones

    My husband doesn’t particularly like sweets. So yesterday whenever he looked at me and said, “These scones might be the greatest thing I’ve ever eaten.” I knew I had succeeded. Finally! That should tell you how good these are. I converted my husband—at least for a day—with these scones. They are so good. They have…

  • Mom It Down! Quick Rosemary Dinner Rolls

    These dinner rolls have a touch of sweet, a touch of spice and a touch of homemade goodness. They’re relatively quick to make (for yeast rolls) and quite easy as well. These rolls will go with just about anything and although I refer to them as “dinner rolls” they work pretty well with breakfast as…

  • Mom It Down! Spelt Crackers

    These crackers are made from spelt flour, so I reckon they’re even gluten free. The time and money invested in this recipe is absurdly little. Gone are the days I drop 5 bucks for a box of organic crackers. These are perfect for kids! They’re also super healthy. What You Will Need Standard Cookie Sheet…

  • Mom It Down! Halloween Cookies: Skull & Crossbones, Black Cats

    I love Halloween. Actually, I love every holiday but there’s just something about Halloween. Perhaps it’s the time of year? The fact that you get to be someone else for a day? I don’t know. But some of my most fond memories take place right around Halloween. And to this day I’m unable to sit…

  • Mom It Down! Pumpkin Spice Muffins (Not So Healthy!)

    Internet: I love the fall. I love it. I love everything about it—the clothing, colors, smells, foods, everything. This recipe screams fall to me. These muffins aren’t particularly healthy. If you want healthy, try this recipe from last week. But these muffins are awesome, in my opinion. And your house will smell amazing. What you will need…

  • Mom It Down! Whole Wheat Pumpkin Spice Muffins (Super Healthy!)

    OK, so here’s the skinny with this one, Toby Joe and I were kicking around over the weekend and wandered into a local eatery here called Urban Rustic.

  • Mom It Down! Chocolate Cupcakes With Vanilla Icing

    We went to a barbeque over the weekend and I wanted to bring something unhealthy for the kids. I made cupcakes. I’ve made two different types of cupcakes in the past and I have to be honest with you, I wasn’t particularly blown away by the red velvet cupcakes. There was something about them that…

  • Mom It Down! Cinnamon Raisin Cookies

    These puppies are sooooooo easy to make! I have a more advanced version of an oatmeal raisin cookie, but they’re more of a fall thing, so I’ll likely do those later on in the year. These guys are a bit lighter, so I figured, what the hey? Plus, my kid is coming down from a…
