Breakfast Sausage English Muffins

We can hardly call this a recipe, since there are only three ingredients.   The flavors of these ingredients are wonderful.   These easy breakfast hits are great made ahead and stored in the freezer until you are ready to serve them.   We share them with love, as these are a staple in  our family holiday gatherings.  I recently… Continue reading Breakfast Sausage English Muffins

Turkey Sausage, Mushroom, and Potato Gratin

Is it just me, or is it sometimes shocking to believe that a recipe is from Cooking Light? This dish definitely doesn't seem light, but who am I to argue with cheesy, sausage-y goodness? I had this for brunch at my friend Brad's lake house in the Hudson Valley. It may have been that it… Continue reading Turkey Sausage, Mushroom, and Potato Gratin

Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes

I have something serious to tell you today. I've updated my favorite pancake batter. If this doesn't sound earthshattering, well you don't know how seriously we take our pancakes. Lately my son has been claiming mac and cheese as his favorite food, but I know that's just because he's not thinking about breakfast. Pancakes reign… Continue reading Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes

Buttermilk-Blueberry Breakfast Cake

I got this recipe off Pinterest, and I decided to make it and a recipe I'd found for the "perfect blueberry muffin" on the same day for a playground date. This one won our taste test hands down! I substituted 1/2 T vinegar with the rest of 1/2 cup milk for butter milk, and it… Continue reading Buttermilk-Blueberry Breakfast Cake

Brown Sugar Bacon

Oh, Bacon. How much do I love you? (So much.) I honestly don't remember making this for the first time, but I've made it so many times since. People go CRAZY over it, and it's hysterical, since it has TWO ingredients, my friends. Please oh please make this immediately. You won't regret it. Brown Sugar… Continue reading Brown Sugar Bacon

Chili Egg Puff (Crustless Quiche)

We would not steer you wrong.  Egg casseroles are a dime a dozen, and this is a clear winner.  I think it is from my friend Sandy in Portland, but it's been so long, who knows now. I follow the directions, except that sometimes I add some good diced ham for another all-in-one meal. If… Continue reading Chili Egg Puff (Crustless Quiche)

Sweet Potato Pancakes

This one isn't exactly an old standby, but I've made it a couple times lately to rave reviews from my family. One of my favorite tricks is to cook a bunch of sweet potatoes and then wrap them individually in cling wrap. So that makes this recipe super quick to make by just thawing one… Continue reading Sweet Potato Pancakes

The Best Spiced Pumpkin Bread

This is my go-to pumpkin bread recipe, from Epicurious - originally appearing in Bon Appetit. It makes two smallish loaves, perfect to freeze one. Or up your organization game by making 4 small loaves. Then you can give the illusion of being a great hostess by popping them out of the freezer anytime! They're great… Continue reading The Best Spiced Pumpkin Bread

Can’t Resist Coffee Cake

This is an old standby coffee cake recipes that comes from my friend Sandy Parker’s mother’s bridge group. She says they go crazy over this one. If you have a stand mixer, it's easy to make. Otherwise, I can't imagine having the patience to mix the batter for 10 minutes. Serves 12 Batter: 1 package… Continue reading Can’t Resist Coffee Cake
