Description

What happens when a well-worn Betty Crocker cookbook, a beloved family recipe, and a major life decision all come together in one kitchen?

In this episode of Hand Me Down Recipes, Kathie welcomes Luci Petlack of Luci’s Morsels to talk about the coffee cake that ties generations together. Luci shares how this simple, cinnamon-laced recipe not only brings joy to her family’s table but also played a surprising role in her journey from academia to creative entrepreneurship.

It’s a heartfelt conversation about letting go of “shoulds,” baking as therapy, and finding clarity—one streusel layer at a time.

Whether you’re here for the cozy food stories, the honest life talk, or both, you’ll feel right at home.
