Pumpkin Spice Scones

Nov 04, 2020 | By Melissa

If you are keeping up around here, you know it has been months since I’ve shared a recipe with you. But I’m sure you are in the same boat as me, surviving Covid with all its emotional weight. Taking pictures of food has been a low priority amidst suddenly homeschooling and battling loneliness and impatience. […]

Morning Glory Carrot Muffins

Oct 29, 2015 | By Melissa

When I was a kid and someone brought out a carrot cake at a birthday party or celebration, I would seriously mope. No offense if carrot cake is your favorite…but who wants vegetable-flavored cake? Not even cream cheese frosting can redeem that. Cake should be rich and sweet with a light but even crumb. There […]

Tomato Cobbler with Gruyère Biscuits

Aug 23, 2014 | By Melissa

I am not going to wax poetic today about beautiful cherry tomatoes or caramelized onions or intensely cheesy biscuits. I am just going to tell you to go make this tomato cobbler immediately. Very hearty. Very flavorful. Very simple. Go!

Double Chocolate Spice Muffins

Mar 31, 2014 | By Melissa

Smells Like Brownies is turning 3! I can hardly believe it. So I thought I should share a bit of a throwback recipe with you. In fact, this is the first recipe that I ever altered on my own for any reason. It was the beginning of my culinary journey. All in the humble wrapper […]

Irish Brown Soda Bread

Mar 12, 2014 | By Melissa

It’s almost St. Patrick’s Day! My husband is Irish, so this is really a day I can’t overlook. Of course, he always wants just one thing in celebration of his heritage: corned beef and cabbage. (Actually, he wants that all year long.) Since I don’t eat meat, I struggled a bit with figuring out how […]

Donut Muffins

Sep 16, 2013 | By Melissa

I have a confession to make. I don’t like donuts. (*gasp!*) Sure, when I was little, I could down a chocolate-creme-filled as well as the next kid. I loved me some powdered sugar, even when I accidentally inhaled it. And that sticky, gooey, sweet coating on a glazed donut made my heart go pitter-pat. But […]

Maple Pecan Scones

Apr 24, 2013 | By Melissa

Scones are pretty much my favorite breakfast food. So when my neighbor across the street had a baby and requested breakfast goodies instead of dinners, I knew immediately that scones were in her future! Lately I’ve been keen on trying things slightly off the beaten path…and getting away from all chocolate, all the time. So […]

Cheddar Bay Biscuits

Mar 11, 2013 | By Melissa

If you have ever been to Red Lobster, you know that one of the highlights of the meal is the endless supply of delectable, buttery, cheesy biscuits. I could easily eat about a dozen of them by myself… I have had these biscuits on my to-do list for about four years, ever since I saw […]

Apple Cheddar Quickbread

Nov 12, 2012 | By Melissa

Apparently when I was a kid, I liked apples. (For those of you just tuning in…I am a bona fide fruit hater, so the apple thing is unusual.) I have no memory of this, but my parents swear I used to pinch apples that my dad had been eating, toddle away, and bring him back […]

Sweet Potato Chocolate Chip Muffins

Oct 31, 2012 | By Melissa

Hey. Do you remember about two years ago when we had that huge pumpkin shortage? Since then, I have lived in fear of not being able to get my pumpkin fix each fall. But guess what? I discovered a way to cheat and get my fill of my favorite orange foods, even if pumpkin is […]
