Breakfast doesn't get much easier or prettier than this. Seriously.
Go make a Dutch Baby Pancake.
So Easy!
Yum!
Recipe from Tasty!
I really wanted to try my hand at making a naked'ish layer cake, and I obsessed for a while before I finally made one. My parents were coming over to visit and stay the night so that seemed like a perfect excuse to make a giant cake. I combined and morphed several different recipes from around Pinterest and ended up with this baby.
It was flavorful, spiced, moist, and not too sweet. I kind of think it looked a little bit like a giant cheeseburger once the caramel settled and spread across the top. Haha. Less caramel next time!
Before the cake, we had a pretty little meat and cheese tray, followed up with some amazing slow cooker Pot Roast and veggies!
Do you ever go on in life using the same thing over and over again without really thinking about how long you've had it or that it is actually kind of unusable? I do this all the time. My most recent frustration: old plastic measuring spoons and cups.
It was a struggle to read which spoon was which on the set that I have been using for close to 7 years. I got them from one of those bargain bins at a fabric store, of all places. NO WONDER all the printed measurements rubbed off.
After less searching than I anticipated, I found the prettiest set from West Elm. The measurements are stamped into the metal handle, and they are the most beautiful copper. These are going to last me so long, and I doubt I will manage to rub off the engraved metal, haha!
This little bee visited me while I was taking photos. :)

Tim and I have been settled into our new house, aptly nicknamed ~Cheddar Bay~, for about two months now. Before we were even close to setting sail towards our new home, we picked up a box of the namesake biscuit mix. I knew I wanted to do something special with it, but I wasn't entirely sure what just yet. Maybe a fancy dinner with them as the side, or perhaps a romantic biscuit binge session. Endless options, really.
This led to me browsing Pinterest for ideas, where I saw random items being jammed into waffle irons. Cinnamon buns, broken up french fries.. you name it. This was interesting to me; I always love when something about food is unexpected and not how it's "supposed to be".
During my search is when it hit me: Cheddar Bay Biscuit Waffle Breakfast Sandwiches. I was pretty excited, so I immediately searched to see if anyone else has had the same idea. I didn't see anything, but correct me if I'm wrong!
We used peppered bacon from Parma Sausage, and white cheddar from Penn Mac. Mine had two fried eggs, Tim had scrambled. I finished this big giant sandwich off with a bunch of maple syrup.
They ended up being too big to eat like a sandwich, but they were the sweet and savory (and ridiculous) Cheddar Bay breakfast that I was dreaming of!
