Butter Biscuits

Who doesn’t love hot biscuits for breakfast? Biscuits are so versatile. They can be breakfast sandwiches by adding egg and sausage, they can be a sweet side to your breakfast of bacon and eggs, or delicious all by themselves with butter and honey or your favorite preserves. One of my fond memories of my dad was watching him take pats of butter, cover them with honey, and using a fork, mash and mix the two ingredients together before adding them to a hot biscuit.

Granola

This is my favorite granola recipe. I do not like seeds because they get stuck in my teeth, but feel free to add any and all of your favorite ingredients. Try to keep the same ratios of dry to wet ingredients if you do.

Pumpkin Bread

ByDorothea

This is a very basic pumpkin bread that has a cake-like texture. I usually double the recipe and use two Lodge cast-iron loaf pans that you can buy (here). I really like these pans because they bake evenly in my gas oven, give everything a nice brown crust, and leave the insides soft and moist….
