We could all act surprised that I’m posting another muffin recipe, but let’s be honest, I’m muffin obsessed! I first made these muffins shortly after I got married and they have been a favorite ever since. I wish I could say that all of the recipes I’ve tried over the years have been this much of a success. These muffins are moist and not overly sweet even with the cinnamon/sugar topping. The cinnamon and nutmeg in these muffins gives them just the right amount of flavor and reminds me of a homemade donut and that’s where they get their name, Donut Muffins. Delicious even before the topping, but dipping these muffins in…

Double Chocolate Brownies with Cream Cheese Frosting
There’s just something about frosted brownies when they are cold that has always had a special place in my heart. I’ve made these brownies twice over the last two weeks and both times they were consumed by very happy people. The only criticism they received was that they were too chocolatey. So if chocolate filled with chocolate and then covered in chocolate isn’t your thing, then please just leave these brownies for the rest of us. If you are one of those people, I feel sorry for you, I really do. You have to be careful when baking brownies that you don’t overbake because they will dry out. I like my brownies to be…

Vanilla Latte at Home
Vanilla Lattes are my current coffee obsession and since I’ve started making them at home I can avoid the expensive coffee shop and all of the calories that come with it! I don’t usually share photos of all the ingredients for a recipe, so today is your special day. I bought a milk frother a couple months ago and it is amazing! I like to add the sugar and vanilla to the milk before warming it for about 30 seconds in the microwave and then use the frother to transform the milk into warm frothy goodness. The hubby bought me a Keurig for Christmas a couple years ago and I love that…

Cornbread
A few years ago when I got married my aunt gave me a family cookbook that included many of our favorite recipes from over the years. To say that I come from a family that loves to cook and eat delicious food, might be an understatement. While I don’t remember ever eating this cornbread at one of our family gatherings when I was younger, it was a staple at my house growing up. My mom got the recipe from her mother-in-law and my siblings and I always looked forward to meals that included cornbread. This cornbread is fluffy, moist, and slightly sweet. I’ve actually cut back on the sugar from what the original recipe called…

Enchilada Casserole
If you follow me on Instagram you might have seen that my sisters were in town over the weekend. I loved having them here and when we weren’t shopping we were cooking and eating! They all share my love of cooking and Mexican food. This enchilada casserole is just one of the recipes we made over the weekend. It has a simple enchilada flavor that while warm, is not overly spicy. The base of this casserole is a homemade enchilada sauce that simmers while you prep the other ingredients, like browning the ground beef and shredding the cheese. Like I mentioned before the sauce is warm but not spicy, so if you like a little bit of…
