Blackberry Buckle

Blackberry Buckle is a perfect cake recipe to make using all those summer ripe blackberries.

It's a light cake loaded with tons of ripe blackberries, a hint of cinnamon, vanilla, and light crumb topping.

It's a favorite in our house as dessert for breakfast, brunch, camping or a sweet treat to bring to a friends for a get together.

You can never go wrong with Blackberry Buckle, it lasted less than 24 hours in our house, and Colt was already requesting I make it again.

To me that's a sign of a good thing! 

How To Cook Couscous

Couscous is an undervalued side dish and it really deserves a more frequent place at the dinner table.

If you're anything like us it become easy to get into the dinner time rut of the same ole same ole side dishes like rice, potatoes, pasta, and sometimes quinoa. 

But Couscous really should have a frequent spot in the rotation. 

I absolutely love it. Couscous is really quick to make. In fact much quicker than rice and has a delicate flavor. 

It's delicious with a little drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon or your favorite fresh helps like dill, rosemary, or basil. It's also delicious with sautéed garlic or Oven Roasted Garlic stirred in.

I originally shared how to make Couscous when I shared the recipe for Panko Garlic Herb Shrimp. 

But we love it with Balsamic Steak Shish Kabobs, Yogurt Marinaded Chicken Skewers, Lemon Garlic Shrimp, or Sun-dried Tomato Spinach Artichoke Stuffed Baked Chicken.

Couscous is great with heart robust stews and definitely deserves a spot on the dinner rotation menu. 

Orange Cinnamon Rolls

The weekends over but I think you need to make Orange Cinnamon Rolls because you deserve it. 

Plus they make the house smell amazing! 

I love the orange citrus cinnamon combination, it reminds me of fall, and the holidays. But are a favorite year around.

Orange Cinnamon Rolls will defiantly be on our Easter brunch menu this year and are always a favorite for Christmas morning.

The best part is waking up in the morning to an Orange Cinnamon Roll and cup of coffee to help get the day started.
