My inspiration
I’ve been cooking and baking my entire life. One item I simply HAD to master was biscuits because the aroma of well-made biscuits takes me back to Great-grandmother’s house. My Gramma Frances made THE BEST biscuits and I regret not asking her to teach me how to cook while she was alive (she passed away when I was 10 years old).
Nearly 60 years later, I’ve never forgotten how she made me feel.
I still remember my Gramma’s voice, her kitchen and how it was filled with natural light; the gingham apron she wore and her Formica table. My Gramma was also a seamstress and quilter, which sparked another passion of mine…quilting.
For me, few things invoke love, safety and comfort like my memories of my Gramma Frances. She was my nurturer. When I was very young and thought about the woman I wanted to be, the Mother I wanted to be - Gramma Frances has always been there, as my guardian angel. I want to make her proud. It took a LONG time, to make proper biscuits from scratch, LOL, but I think she would be pleased…finally. LOL If we ever meet, I'll happily bake a pan of biscuits for you. For now, take a look at the cookies and granola available and share the love of freshly baked cookies and granola. I hope they invoke beautiful memories for you.
With genuine appreciation,

My most requested item was oatmeal raisin cookies, so I will be bringing them to every festival and pop-up, in addition to several varieties of cookies, the whoopie pies, cookies pies, granola and slices of glazed apple bread and banana raisin bread. Whoopie pies are only available at festivals & pop-up, and individual orders, so you will not see them available for online ordering.
You’ll see baklava in the photo gallery below. I used to make it a couple of times a year, and made a tray for coworkers and a few vendors, along with cranberry scones, for the holidays. I’m not sure if I’ll add them to the regular line up, but I’ll keep that door open. You’ll also see a photo of an egg and sausage biscuit, made with hot buttermilk biscuits. YUM!!!

Left: Granola. One of my favorite ways to enjoy granola is atop Greek yogurt with fresh fruit. My granola is sold in 2oz pouches, with or without nuts.
