Like a year later.....

Seriously! Wow. I have not been in the mood to blog about anything, though I have spent the last year making so many good things. I do PR so after a long day of talking to people non stop I don't always feel like communicating via the internet when I get home.

These, however, inspired me. I could talk about these all day. Every day.

They are French Breakfast Puffs from the amazing cookbook The Pioneer Woman Cooks.

I rarely follow recipes. I never follow recipes exactly. As a matter of fact, the only recipe I follow is my grandma's Sock it to Me cake recipe. I follow her recipe because I trust it. How it is presented, how many calories are in it, using fancy ingredients, none of that was important. What was important was that it was a good, home made concoction.

That is how this cookbook is. I trusted this woman's recipes instantly just like I trust my grandma's. So I made these puffs by the letter of the recipe.

And. Wow.

If you are wondering why they glisten, it is because you dip the fresh from the oven puffs in butter then roll them in cinnamon sugar. They are so rich but not too sweet. I would recommend you have one cup of milk available for every one you eat.


Here are some other things I have been up to for the past year:



My sister got married.


I had a wonderful garden as usual


We got married. Twice.


And our honeymoon

And through a long (and continuing) fight against cancer, our baby Brutus has been with us every step of the way. Definitely the biggest blessing of all.


I will see you all on the flip side...when another yummy goodness comes along that I just have to share!
