Leigh Anne Wilkes

Welcome to my Kitchen! I'm Leigh Anne, the mother of four adult children and my husband and I are now empty nesters.

I know the challenges of learning to cook for just the 2 of you, it feels like learning to cook all over again! After the kids left home, I found that I stopped making a lot of our family's favorite dishes and treats because those recipes just made too much food and I was tempted to eat too much!

On this channel, I invite you into my kitchen each week where we learn how to make small batch recipes with big taste. You can still enjoy all those family favorite recipes, just less of it!

I look forward to meeting you in the kitchen each week with a new recipe and video.

You can find all my recipes on my website at www.yourhomebasedmom.com.

    Great small batch recipe for buttermilk cornbread! Perfect portion. Thanks for sharing. Be advised, when making this recipe you should follow the written instructions as opposed the verbal instructions in the video. That is on the advice of Leigh Anne.

    I remember in the late 60's or early 70's my mom & all of my her friends had giant tupper containers in their fridge filled with Bran Muffin they mixed up. It would last FOREVER 😅 I'd love to be able to make just a small batch of just 4 to 6 of them. Maybe on your next Muffin Marathon Leigh Anne Wilkes 😊

    Leigh Anne, this is a great recipe! But I wanted to tweak it a little when I made it. I substituted the 2 tablespoons of flour for Almond Meal, I didn't have to add any more liquid. I mixed the almond meal in with the flour. Topped the muffins as you suggested with almonds, but sprinkled a little sugar on them before baking, making the glaze unnecessary. These are so good, I can't wait to make them again. Thanks for giving me the "jumping off" point! ❤ Love your channel!

    Thank you so much for all the hard work in scaling down these recipes. Not only does it help to cut down on leftovers, it saves us time and money. Who wouldn't love to have cake, cookies, brownies, etc. 3 times a month for the price of 1 usual batch. Who wants to freeze all those extra cupcakes when freezer space is always at such a premium? If I am having a gathering, or taking to a potluck or cookout, instead of making 1 flavor of brownie, cookie or muffin, I can now make a whole assortment of different flavors and textures, just perfect for those 3 tiered dessert stands. Keep up the good work as I will be watching.
