I love bread. I love rolls, I love baguettes and I love biscuits. What I don’t love are those little pillow-ey dinner rolls that you get at the grocery store, that so many people buy for Thanksgiving out of convenience. I am all for convenience. Huge fan of convenience. But since you’re reading my blog, you’re getting my opinion and my opinion is: don’t waste your calories, money or precious holiday dinner table real estate on store bought rolls. Instead, bake a fresh batch of biscuits and if you’re feeling really adventurous, add chives and cubed brie to the batter before you cut the dough for baking.

So to my surprise, this weekend mom showed up with three mums for the previously barren planter in the corner of my tiny patio. I just hope they fully bloom before I kill them. Since mums mean fall and fall means, well, maple and cinnamon and honey and apple and pumpkin, here’s a great weekend breakfast treat to tide you over until the temperature starts to drop: Save Print Maple Cinnamon Biscuits with Pecans Author: Maris Callahan Recipe type: Sweet Treats, Breakfast and Brunch Prep […]
