The Bread and Breakfast
Just a foodie, making her way through her baking bucket lists!
Here we are, on the second Sunday of March Maple Madness. Here I am, already wishing it was going to last longer. Why? Because this week’s recipe has me seeing maple in a whole new light. When most of us think of maple, we think of pancakes. Fluffy, stacked as high as your head, indulgent …
It’s been a minute since I’ve honored the name sake y’all. What’s a blog and business called The Bread and Breakfast without a regular post or two about bread every now and again? A silly one. That’s what. Clearly, I had to clean up that craziness this week. I’m getting to that point in the …
Food. Here’s a silly question or two about it: what is it? Better yet, what’s it’s purpose? I guess there are quite a few answers to this question.

Hey…ya’ll! Did I ever tell you that I could really see myself living in the South? Cold, dreary winters? None of that. People who smile and say “hello”, for no reason? Everywhere.

I know, I know. You’re rolling your eyes at me today. Like every other weekend, as you feverishly typed in this site address, which you clearly do on regular basis, you were excited to see something new. Something original.

Did I ever tell you that The Great British Bake Off is quite legitimately the best show ever? Oh, yes, I did. Here, and here. BUT, if you accidentally forgot to read those posts, the declaration is worth repeating. It’s wonderful. You have Paul Hollywood, buff baking pro: intimidating, silver-fox impersonating, and all around tough …
It’s about time that I got back to my roots. My 80-year-old-soul, Shop Rite loving, 7AM grocery shopping roots. As you all know by now, I’m an old woman in almost all aspects. Aside from the physical age of my body, I have the rest down pat. I even discovered recently, that my natural standing …
I, quite literally, have been waiting for this week, since about a year ago. IT’S THANKSGIVING WEEK, PEOPLE! And, yes, I mean Thanksgiving Week, because that’s how exciting this holiday is. It certainly deserves more than one day of celebration. The feeling that I feel when preparing for this upcoming day of cooking and feasting is similar to, …
A snapshot of a typical conversation Erin has with herself on any given day during the months of October through December: Erin 1: “MAN, I can’t WAIT to make that pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving! I’ve been waiting all year!” Erin 2: “Woohoo! But, don’t forget about the apple pie bars you need to make for Friendsgiving …
