Lemon & Almond Pound Cake Squares
Today is the last day of April, and I don’t know about you, but I feel like this month just flew on by! When I glanced at my calendar I realized that my family and I have a very busy month coming up. Along with Mother’s Day, in May we will celebrate my mother’s birthday,…
Blackberry Filled Coffee Cake
Have you all adjusted to the time change yet? It’s been almost a 2 weeks and I think I am finally feeling on top of things again. It’s amazing how just 1 hour can really have such an impact on you. My husband and I try to get up pretty early every morning and talk…
Orange Marmalade Coffee Cake
Baking with citrus always brightens up my day! This morning when I woke up the temperature was 50 degrees! Believe me when I say that it felt like a heat wave. It has been so cold here and for the 1 hour it was 50 degrees I even opened a few of my windows to…

One of my family’s favorite things to do in the Spring is pick asparagus! There’s a farm about 10 minutes away from my house that you can go and pick as much asparagus as you want. You can bring your own bag or they have buckets that you can fill. My children all just love…

Raspberry Lemon Scones
This weekend I bought a big bag of juicy lemons to cheer me up and raise my hopes that Spring is right around the corner. We still have flurries in the air, snow on the ground and it looks kind of gloomy, but a girl can be hopeful right? Either way, these Raspberry Lemon Scones…
