These are perfect for a football game or party! Super simple to assemble, and make a ton of appetizers. I was a little heavy-handed on the cheese mixture and would not put as much next time. Yummy combination that went perfectly with Tortilla Soup! Green Chile & Cheese Canapés Print Prep time 5 mins [...]

I don’t even know how to introduce this recipe! It has been a part of every Christmas that I can remember. The smell of it makes me weak in the knees. It is a beautiful braid of cinnamon-sugary goodness that has been a mystery to me until this year. My Nana asked me to come [...]

I am about to share one of the most beloved recipes in my family with you! These rolls are THE rolls for holiday feasts. They are buttery, light, and melt in your mouth. My Nana made them for as long as I remember from the Better Homes cookbook she received as a gift at her [...]

This is another Deceptively Delicious recipe. It’s a good, classic banana bread that isn’t a dessert-type one.

This is a recipe I got from Becky Crane. We stayed with the Cranes when we went snowboarding one year, and on our way up to The Canyons, she sent us out the door with a warm piece of this bread. It is to die for! When we got back to California, I called Becky [...]
This recipe is in the cookbook that came with my KitchenAid mixer that I adore. My mom gave it to me when I got married :) I’ve made this pizza dough multiple times and love doubling it and freezing a ball of dough for later. It is soft, bready, and delicious. 1 package active dry [...]

Or able-skivvies as Matt named them :) I made some for breakfast on Sunday morning! Nana gave us a pan that weighs around 90 lbs. (maybe I’m exaggerating a little) and I was inspired by my Williams-Sonoma catalog that came and had this recipe in it. Instead of doing the pecan pumpkin filling, I put cinnamon sugar [...]

These rolls are light and yeasty, but hearty enough to make a sandwich on the next day (see mine below). I love a good roll! I found this recipe in Santa Maria 3rd Ward’s Relief Society newsletter a few years back. 1/2 c. warm water 1/2 c. warm milk 1 large egg 1/3 c. butter, [...]
