Banana Berry Breakfast Smoothie

I made one of these bad boys on Saturday morning – it was the perfect addition to my usual toast and peanut butter for breakfast.  The berry and banana flavors mixed with oats made it taste like a blueberry muffin in a cup.   I’ve been using the single serving cups that came with ourContinue reading “Banana Berry Breakfast Smoothie”

Gluten Free Buckwheat Apple Pancakes

I whipped up a batch of these pancakes this morning for our breakfast.  They are gluten-free, dairy-free, and have applesauce instead of added sugar.  Served with my almond strawberry syrup, they were the perfect lazy weekend morning breakfast.   They are easy to make up quickly from scratch, especially since they only require 6 simpleContinue reading “Gluten Free Buckwheat Apple Pancakes”

Buttermilk Waffles

These waffles are my go-to waffle recipe for many reasons – they are better than store bought by far, they are light and fluffy,  and they can be dressed up in a variety of ways.  In years past, before being a mom, I made them for Christmas morning breakfast a few times.  Now we saveContinue reading “Buttermilk Waffles”

Apricot Corn Muffins + Tomato & Sausage Cornbread

Cornbread and corn muffins have and always will be a staple around my household – they were when I was a kid and will continue to be into Greta’s childhood.  I have two recipes that are easy and quick – one savory and one sweet, but both easy as pie to make for a snackContinue reading “Apricot Corn Muffins + Tomato & Sausage Cornbread”

Banana Gluten-Free Pancakes

I have a lovely Mother’s Day idea for y’all.  Or maybe just a new pancake idea to try this weekend.  Either way, they are sure to please – bananas paired with millet flour makes a sweet but filling cake.  They are sugar-free, dairy-free, and gluten-free to boot.  I enjoyed them this morning with my hazelnutContinue reading “Banana Gluten-Free Pancakes”

Fried Egg Sandwich 101

This is one of my all-time favorite meals – the egg sandwich.  I will eat it any time of day and any day of the week and the best part is dressing this simple food up with a variety of condiments, fruits, spreads, and vegetables.  The most common way that I make a fried eggContinue reading “Fried Egg Sandwich 101”

Cherry Hazelnut Muffins

These muffins are so tasty and low in sugar!  I have been on this baking with Stevia kick and am really liking the results.  The combination of hazelnut and cherries comes about as a search for a spring break muffin – in other words “What do I have that I can use up and itContinue reading “Cherry Hazelnut Muffins”

Earl Grey & Orange Muffins

These muffins came about as a result from my weekly brainstorming about scones, tea, and English snacks in preparation for my Sunday English connection recipe in celebration of a new Downton Abbey.  Tune in Sunday evenings 9/8 central on PBS! I love using a glass measuring cup instead of a small bowl when baking –Continue reading “Earl Grey & Orange Muffins”

Asparagus & Gruyere Quiche

Quiche is easily one of the most satisfying and tasty any time of the day meals, if you ask me.  Everyone in my family loves it – well except my sister.  Poor thing hates eggs and my parents have raised chickens specifically for eggs since we were middle school students.   Anyway, I adapted this recipeContinue reading “Asparagus & Gruyere Quiche”

Egg Nog French Toast Casserole

I have the perfect holiday or Sunday brunch item for you – Egg Nog French Toast Casserole.  This is what my family was eating Thanksgiving morning with out ginormous newspaper stuffed full of ads.  Normally I would not touch egg nog with a 10 foot stick, I hate the stuff, but for some reason thisContinue reading “Egg Nog French Toast Casserole”
