The Fruit Dilemma: Apricot Chocolate Pecan Bread

It’s been a minute since I’ve honored the name sake y’all. What’s a blog and business called The Bread and Breakfast without a regular post or two about bread every now and again? A silly one. That’s what. Clearly, I had to clean up that craziness this week.  I’m getting to that point in the …

Window Shopping Memories: Italian Rainbow Cookie Cake

This summer, when I went traveling solo, I honed quite a few skills: navigating new lands without a guide, striking up conversation with friendly looking people, learning to enjoy time doing me, and most of all, window shopping.

Peanut Butter Cookie Cake: Time to Think

Summer is an amazing season. Why? Because for teachers, it is the one time of year we get to do something remarkable: think and breathe.

Candy Jar Brownies: Spring Cleaning, During Summer

This year, I’ll be honest, I got to spring cleaning kind of late. Late, as in, I waited until the beginning of Summer to do it.

Happy Mother´s Day Eve Day! This one goes out to all of the wonderful mothers out there, AND their daughters who may still be looking for the perfect gift to get their loved one. While I wish I had inherited more traits from my mom (like her never-ending patience, and her always-positive attitude), my Mom and I …

The Classic Donut: All the Feels

Today, we’re going back to the namesake. The old namesake. Remember the days of “Will Race for Donuts” (my first blog name)? I do, and fondly. Lately, I’ve been reminiscing on how far this little train that could, has come in the past nine months. What started as a blog meant to help me try …

Mocha Mint Chunk Cookies: Inspiration from the Best

When I think about my favorite cookies in the world, there are a few kinds that come to mind. From a few weeks ago, you’ll remember that Oreos, for example, are pretty damn close to my number one. But, honestly, you know who does it even better? Those Girl Scouts. Come on. Tagalongs? Samoas? I’ve …
