Did you know that today is national Pi Day?  I am really not a math person, but I LOVE to celebrate this day with my boys!  It is the perfect excuse to have a delicious pie like this Easy Fresh Strawberry Pie and to have a fun discussion with my boys about Pi.  So in case you didn't know, Pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.  It is rounded up because the actual ratio

Quick Cinnamon Roll Biscuits (no rising time)

March 7, 2017 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + Leave a Comment

Have you ever been in the mood for cinnamon rolls but not in the mood for waiting the hours it takes to proof the dough and let the rolls rise?  So many times my boys will request them when I ask what they want for a weekend breakfast and I have to break the news that they are not an option, since I would have had to start them the night before.  Now with this Quick Cinnamon Roll Biscuits recipe

Lemon Brownies or Lemonies

Hello friends!  Did you have some crazy weather this week?  We sure did here in the South.  On Wednesday the kids were out of school because of the threat of bad winds and tornado watch.  That is always a bit unnerving to hear.  Thankfully, the day ended up being strange with gray rumbling skies and some light rain but nothing else!  Today the weather has made a complete turn around with blue

Campfire Cake

February 24, 2017 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 10 Comments

My little Cannon is a cute Bear cub scout and this week he had the Blue and Gold Banquet.  Each scout was asked to bring a decorated cake with the theme "The Great Outdoors".  Cannon and I had so much fun creating this campfire cake and it was surprisingly easy!  To keep the process simple my nine year old and I used a cake mix, and a can of frosting!  Making the fire was the best part!  We

Tribute to my sweet Mom

I developed my love of cooking at an early age “helping” my Mom bake cookies, make dinner, and knead bread. She had quite the well of patience! She is the one that taught me about measurements, leavening agents, egg-washes, the basic white sauce, and numerous other mysteries of the kitchen!  I cherish the memories I have of learning to cook at her side. Thank you Mom! You instilled in me a respect for work as well as a joy in creating delicious things. I love you! xoxo
