Fall is coming. I can feel it! The pumpkin spice lattes are officially available and the high this weekend is 75 degrees. The HIGH. This 8 month pregnant lady is so thankful that the 100+ degree plus days are a thing of the past. With fall comes the need for warm, sweet desserts that pair… Continue reading iced ginger & pear bread

peach breakfast crisp
Ever wake up starving on a weekend morning and think "Okay, what can I make for breakfast with things I already have in the kitchen?" That is exactly what inspired this peach breakfast crisp one sleepy Saturday morning. I had some super sweet, ripe peaches to work my way through from a recent trip to… Continue reading peach breakfast crisp
fig spice cake with buttermilk glaze
The inspiration for this fig cake arrived after receiving a tattered shoe box from my dad with some of my Nana's handwritten recipes and a couple of old church cookbooks. I noticed this recipe for fig cake in one of the laminated cookbooks, but had no idea what to expect. Because if you've ever seen… Continue reading fig spice cake with buttermilk glaze
old fashioned waffles
One of my all-time favorite shows is Parks and Rec (all episodes available on Netflix if you haven't seen it!). While grumpy, anti-everything Ron Swanson is probably my favorite character, I love watching Amy Poehler as the tireless, passionate and absolutely hilarious Leslie Knope. If you've ever seen the show, you know Leslie's ultimate favorite… Continue reading old fashioned waffles
huevos rancheros
This is easily my new favorite brunch recipe! It's healthy, vegetarian, and doesn't pack a calorie-laden Hollandaise sauce (though some mornings totally call for that). A classic Mexican breakfast, huevos rancheros translate to "rancher's eggs." They are simple, light yet filling, and incredibly flavorful. You can either eat them like a taco or with a… Continue reading huevos rancheros
pumpkin cinnamon rolls with vanilla cream cheese frosting
Pumpkin may be a fall staple, but I'll be the first to sign the petition to have pumpkin recipes all year long. These pumpkin cinnamon rolls are a Huber Thanksgiving break tradition, but should really be made anytime of the year. It can be tempting to unroll a pack of premade cinnamon rolls (I do… Continue reading pumpkin cinnamon rolls with vanilla cream cheese frosting
apple coffee cake
Pumpkin gets all the spotlight in the fall, but apples are just as synonymous with leaves changing, cooler weather and warm fireplaces in my mind. Coffee cake holds a special place in my heart too. When I was little, it was a treat to get to have those Entenmann's coffee cakes (anyone?) and you could… Continue reading apple coffee cake
blueberry greek yogurt pancakes
These are our favorite weekend pancakes! No pre-made mix required and chances are you already have everything in your fridge and pantry to make these right now. I like to think they are healthier since they feature protein-packed, non-fat Greek yogurt and they are lighter than most mixes on the flour and added sugar, but… Continue reading blueberry greek yogurt pancakes
banana nut muffins
I'm always on the look out for good recipes for overripe bananas--a fruit we can never seem to finish before they turn brown. I made these for brunch one weekend morning, and when served warm out of the oven & topped with softened butter, Collin nearly fell out of his chair from happiness. They are… Continue reading banana nut muffins
meal prep: chia seed pudding
Whenever I want to switch up weekly our meal prep breakfasts of crockpot steel cut oatmeal, I alternate between granola & yogurt and this chia seed pudding. Chia seed pudding is a lighter breakfast option, but still keeps me full until lunchtime when paired with an apple or a hard boiled egg. True story: I… Continue reading meal prep: chia seed pudding
