Cinnamon and Sugar Sweet Rolls

I admit it.  Baking with yeast takes it up a notch.  The Easter Bunny prepared this yummy treat for our family.  When a recipe can be started the night before, I am all in.   Cinnamon and sugar is a win win.  Add a serving of bacon or sausage, done and done. High Five!  These… Continue reading Cinnamon and Sugar Sweet Rolls

Healthy Breakfast Muffins

I would put these muffins in the category of "too healthy to be good." But they are good! They are easy too, and made with things that are usually on hand. I make them quite often, even for company! (PS For the ultimate in convenience, you can even find pre-shredded carrots near the baby carrots… Continue reading Healthy Breakfast Muffins

Egg Bake

We just got back from a wonderful few days at Seabrook and have to share two of the recipes that our good friends Jeremy and Shelly brought. This one is an egg bake. It's got a few steps, but it's pretty simple to throw together... and worth it! The ultimate one-dish breakfast casserole! It's excellent… Continue reading Egg Bake

Dutch Baby Pancakes

Need a special treat for a weekend breakfast?  Get out your favorite seasoned iron skillet or purchase one and start a whole new world of cooking.   I felt super special recently when a friend made these for my son (age 12) and I.  Chris served these pancakes (cooked in the oven, but more like thicker… Continue reading Dutch Baby Pancakes

Spinach, Mushroom and Feta Crustless Quiche

Hudson had his first sleepover last night, so I took the opportunity to make a savory breakfast. (Hudson can only abide by sweets for breakfast.) It was easy, economical (the website said $6.19 for the whole thing) and delicious. I tweaked it by sauteing some summer squash and cooked, sliced turkey links with the mushrooms,… Continue reading Spinach, Mushroom and Feta Crustless Quiche

Sausage Potato Breakfast Casserole

Thank heaven for house guests!  With upcoming company this weekend, I went on the search for the perfect breakfast casserole.  I didn't have to search long, as I remembered my friend and neighbor, Tina's famous casserole.  It has always reminded me of something I had at a B and B years ago in Sante Fe.   I… Continue reading Sausage Potato Breakfast Casserole

Yummy Waffles

We have a brand new kindergartner starting school tomorrow, and so we started a new tradition in our house. We had breakfast for dinner. My college used to do this the night before finals, and everybody loved it. I make pancakes often, so we decided to kick it up a notch with some homemade waffles. I made… Continue reading Yummy Waffles

Everyday Granola

We have a foreign exchange student Marie who ate boxed cereal every day, until she one day tried this granola. Then she never ate boxed cereal again. It is her specialty, and we've adapted it from the (awesome) Smitten Kitchen cookbook. We almost always double this recipe and make it on two foiled cookie sheets.… Continue reading Everyday Granola

Chocolate-Chip Banana Muffins

The smells from the oven will have you thinking Fall. These muffins are great if you need to take a treat to a friend, a quick breakfast, or something simple a little outside the box. Our taste buds say, yes please. My lucky friend that needed a treat told me I was her kids new… Continue reading Chocolate-Chip Banana Muffins

Overnight French Toast

I can't believe this recipe hasn't been on the blog before now. I've made it a zillion times. I found it originally at epicurious.com, and it really saved me Christmas 99 when I was sick and had in-laws in town for 8 days. I made it twice, using different fruit and nuts each time. It… Continue reading Overnight French Toast
