When I was younger I would make coffee cake for my family often. Early in the morning I would wake up and start the baking process. I love it.

These coffee cake muffins are quick, easy and our family's favorite!!Coffee Cake is a savory cake with a sweet crumbly topping. It pairs so perfectly with a nice hot cup of hot . . .

World’s Best Homemade Crescent Rolls
My Mother-in-law Mary makes the BEST rolls. I mean THE BEST. These are NOT, I repeat NOT your standard run of the mill, buy in the deli section crescent rolls in a can.

Chicken and Dumpling Soup
Dumplings are arguably the best part of chicken soup. When my mom makes them for my family there is never enough. We argue and fight about who has more dumplings...and we race to get seconds and finish of the rest of the dumplings in the pot. Now when my mom makes chicken and dumplings she does two batches. Makes the soup, and does one batch of dumplings...serves up half the folks and with half the soup remaining add more dumplings. This isn't necessary but makes the soup go really . . .

Honey Bran Muffins – Mimi’s Copycat
