Hi friends! 👋 I’m moving a little slowly this morning. Halloween wiped me out! Between the costumes, the candy, and the late night, I was more than ready for bed. So waking up to an extra hour today? Best gift ever. If you’re like me, you might want to use that bonus time for something cozy. Nothing rushed. Just good food and a slow Sunday. So I pulled together four recipes that take you from breakfast all the way to dinner. 🍳 Sausage Biscuits and Gravy Casserole 🥐 Homemade Croissants 🧅 French Onion Soup 🥩 Swiss Steak Thank you so much for being here and for cooking along with me. I love hearing from you, and your notes and comments truly make my week. Now tell me. What are you doing with your extra hour today? Sleeping in, cooking, or catching up on something else? Hit reply and let me know! ❤️ Heidi (aka Lulu) |

Costume changes, bobby pins everywhere, and a whole lot of nervous energy packed into one small room. It was chaotic and loud, and I loved every minute of it. Watching her up on that stage made it all worth it! But my feet are still recovering, so today is a coffee and pajamas kind of Sunday. It’s also a menu planning kind of Sunday. Can you believe Thanksgiving is less than...
Hi friends! It’s been a busy week at our house! My daughter has rehearsals all week for her musical, so our whole family is running on a musical theater schedule right now. I love seeing how hard she’s working, and I can’t wait to see it all come together on stage! Here’s what’s new this week: 🍎 Waldorf Salad: I found this one in my grandma’s 1940s cookbook, and I love how simple it is. It has just 5 ingredients, takes about 10 minutes, and would be perfect on your Thanksgiving table. And no,...
