Three of my Favorite things to do: cook, eat, and look for new recipes to try! I grew up with a mother that was a great cook and have loved carrying that tradition over into my own home. This is a compilation of recipes that I've tried and liked, where I found them, how I made them, and what I think about them. Cooking is, for me, an expression of love. Enjoy!

Lion House Rolls

This is a no-fail roll recipe.  Sweet and fluffy, soooo good.  They take a little time with a double rise, but worth it.  Just plan ahead, and you won't be sorry
*Note: I like round dinner rolls so I usually don't go to the hassle of rolling them out, just shaping into balls
*Note: this bread recipe is the same for cinnamon rolls.

Pumpkin Bread

Since my mom isn't here to make her pumpkin bread this winter, I searched high and low for a good recipe.  I wanted moist and flavorful, and as healthy as possible.  I stumbled on this recipe, and halfway through throwing ingredients in the mixing bowl, I realized it was vegan.  It also had less oil than all of the other recipes I had looked at.  Fingers crossed, and it turned out amazing!  Incredibly moist and tons of flavor.  A keeper for sure.  
*We did muffin tins, makes about 20 muffins and I baked at recommended temp for about  18 min

Chocolate Banana Bread

I just discovered my endless love for Chocolate Banana Bread.  I love bananas but I'm really particular about them, so there are almost never over-ripe bananas in my house.  But with Finley having only 2 teeth, now we regularly have super ripe bananas, hence my need for a good Banana bread recipe.  I found it!  I always swirl in about 2/3 a cup of melted chocolate chips.  It neeeeever hurt anyone :)
