We love our desserts here on the Hilltop! Warm cookies, sweet mug brownies, creamy ice cream, and freshly-baked pies are a few of our most popular choices.

I used to buy granola at the store until I realized that I could make it at home for much cheaper! I now enjoy making a big batch at... Continue Reading →
I just love breakfast foods. Pancakes, Waffles, Homemade Granola, oatmeal, eggs, Sourdough Drop Biscuits, bacon...it may be one of my love languages.
