Life In Pleasantville
Food, Travel, Life
The only thing better than having dinner made before breakfast, is having breakfast made before you go to bed. This Overnight Slow Cooker Oatmeal with Warm Apple Topping is simple enough to have ready for weekday mornings, but fancy enough, you could serve it to company. Either way, it’s a warm, delicious breakfast to wake …
There is a half a pound of butter in this Potato Leek Soup. Before you run screeching from the room shouting “Those Pleasantville people have lost their minds!”, just chill, ok? This soup is like dessert; it’s a treat. It’s what I deem an everything-in-moderation recipe. Pull yourself together, people, because there’s also cream, bacon …
OK, sometimes the name of a recipe says it all, right? Like this Super Simple and Delicious No Knead Bread, it’s pretty self-explanatory. Honestly though, who doesn’t like super simple in their life?

There are certain recipes that I simply can’t see the point of making only enough for one meal. Recipes like Marinara and Meatballs or Banana Bread just scream to be doubled, or tripled for meals on another day. If it can be frozen, then I always make enough for another day, like this Big Ass …
Nothing says lovin’ like baked goods and these Bacon Cheddar Apple Scones scream love. For starters, who doesn’t love warm scones from the oven? Secondly, bacon. Third, cheese. Honestly, need I say more? I either had you at bacon or cheddar, but either way you know these babies are right up your alley. That’s why …
You’re going to want to thank me for this Maple Pecan Tart. I know you are, so I’m just preemptively saying you’re welcome. I have been making this tart since 2007 when I ripped it out of a Bon Appetit magazine. It without fail turns out fabulous. In fact I’ve been known to self-congratulate myself …
