I have to admit that summer is not my favorite season. I always tell my husband “summer Jayni is not a fun Jayni.” I just don’t thrive sweating in the heat and can’t take it too long. I’m not sure how I lived in Arizona for so long and now I’m figuring out the other side of heat..humidity. I am …
Easy 4th of July Cookies
Somehow, I have blinked and it is now the 4th of July. July has snuck up on me just as quickly as this humidity has and I’m not sure if the time is going faster or the amount of time my make-up actually stays on these days. Even though the summer is flying by its has been a sweet summer …
Swiss Roll
Swiss Role or Yule Log? I started calling these swiss rolls when I decided to make one. Once I started doing my research I was wondering, “Should I really be calling this a Yule Log?” I decided to stick with Swiss Roll because my mind automatically goes to elementary school and how pumped you’d get when you got a Little …
Easy Buttermilk Waffles
When I turned 19 I asked my parents for a waffle maker for my birthday. I’m not sure many other 19 year olds were asking for waffle makers but I sure was. I had just started reading food blogs and was obsessed! I started with Joy the Baker and Smitten Kitchen. I still love reading their blogs and using their …
Addicting Christmas “Crack”
I should probably start off by apologizing to you for giving you this recipe. It is seriously addicting. Our sweet neighbors brought some over the other day and I was in heaven. I even snuck down before everyone was awake to get the last piece. Is that embarrassing to admit? Well, once you make it I think you will understand! …
Thanksgiving Rolls & Last Minute Scrolls
I read a quote the other day that really stopped me in my tracks and made me think. The quote by Tim Keller read, “It’s one thing to be grateful. It’s another to give thanks. Gratitude is what you feel. Thanksgiving is what you do.” Even though every Thanksgiving we make sure our menus are right and our table has …

How to Make Kids Fall Charcuterie Board
Isn’t it so much for fun to eat something when it looks pretty?! Charcuterie boards are obviously all the range and I think they’re so beautiful! Being honest though, I am just a recipe-rule follower that the mix and match freedom of making a charcuterie board is mind-blowing to me. I could research what types of meats and cheese to …
At home donuts!
Here is my thought of the day: If you bake your donuts they’re healthy right? We’re just going to pretend that is the case and continue on with our day! We will pretend the calories don’t count. I had been wanting to make a dessert for my husband but we have been trying to keep the sweets out of our …
Joanne Gaines Biscuits
Joanna Gaines can pretty much do anything and I’m just like everyone else who loves her design. Ever since I have tried her biscuit recipe, I love her even more. Usually if a biscuit comes with my meal I give it to my husband because it doesn’t excite me that much. But with this recipe, I go back for seconds! …
