Apple Cobbler

Apple cobbler is a fall favorite in my house. It comes together super-fast with no chill time or waiting and it’s SO good! Apples, spices, and a sweet biscuit topping; what’s not to like?? This is the sort of dessert I love making for the family on a weeknight or when friends drop in unexpectedly....

French Toast Casserole

There’s so much to love about this make-ahead French toast casserole! First, who doesn’t adore cinnamon toast? It reminds me of my childhood—Saturday mornings were the best, am I right?
