One of the best perks of being a blogger is going to blogger events with friends at great restaurants. Such was the case when I was invited to have breakfast at Communal this past Saturday morning. When I first heard Communal would be serving breakfast, I was overjoyed. I’ve patiently waited and waited. As my husband and I were driving through Provo one day, we passed Communal. I thought about how wonderful it is for Provo […]
Sunday Breakfast: Toad-in-the-Hole with Onion Gravy

I’m alone with the kids in the morning to get them ready to go for our 9:00 AM meeting time. (It’s kinda rough, I’m not gonna lie to you.) Last weekend we were able to stay home and listen to the Semiannual General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ […]

How To Make Croissants (With Step-By-Step Photos!)
I received the book pictured below for my birthday this year. (P.S. It’s on sale right now!) I have checked this book out many, many times from my local library, so it was a great gift for my husband to have bought me. I’m a huge fan of the cooking shows on PBS, but especially the series called, Baking with Julia, to which this book is a companion. Julia welcomes guest bakers/chefs in this series, […]
