I knew in advance we were going to have Belgian waffles with caramel sauce and I was this close to using one of the waffles as her birthday cake. But as the party drew near, I just couldn’t let her celebrate the day without a cake that was a little more substantial. I decided to create the easiest breakfast birthday cake ever and I’ll show you how to make one too…

It’s seems hard to believe as much as I love to bake but I can’t remember ever making gingerbread cookies until this year. My family usually makes sugar cookies each year and we have a good time decorating all the different shapes. I was sure I was going to win the cookie decorating contest over the Thanksgiving holiday at Loblolly Manor but my mom pulled a fast one on us at the last minute.
So, before we get started I feel like I may have lost some of you on this recipe at the word, beet. It’s actually a common thing to add beets to cakes that are considered southern staples.

I’ve been out of town so much lately that I haven’t been able to eat all the strawberries I’ve picked up at the produce stand or enjoy the basil from my garden. I didn’t want these ingredients to go to waste so I decided to make an easy Strawberry Basil Simmer Pot. It’s the sweet smell of summertime.
This past weekend I was listening to the weather report. The estimated temperature was a balmy 96 degrees. If that wasn’t hot enough the weatherman added one last note, “It’s going to feel like 105 degrees.” As soon as I heard the report, I got out my vintage Pyrex tea pitcher and decided to make sweet peppermint sun tea.
