I love holiday mornings! I love the laziness, I love the laughter and I love the fun. Whether it's Thanksgiving, or Christmas, or Easter, or whatever other holiday, I love to serve a late breakfast/brunch with a delicious egg casserole. I love these specifically because they can be made the day before and they get better with "age." And they are an easy option for holiday … [Read more...]

Cheesy Zucchini Cups
Grab n Go Snack - Grab n Go Breakfast - Grab n Go Lunch. This one is for my low carb friends...and you can make it even more low carb by using almond flour! Even though these "have green things in them" (direct quote from an unnamed child of mine), they were enjoyed by all! I had to promise within an inch of my life that said child wouldn't actually taste the green … [Read more...]

Blueberry Crumble Bars
A pan of these lasted on the counter for approximately 4.7 seconds. The vultures (aka my boys) attacked these blueberry bars with a vengeance...and I quickly regretted not doubling up on these. Now, I know for certain that the next time I make these (likely tomorrow!), I'll double up and make in a 9x13 pan. How to Make Blueberry Crumble Bars - Photo Tutorial Mix up … [Read more...]
Stuffed Breakfast French Loaf
Brinner - just might be our family's favorite kind of dinner. What's brinner? It's "breakfast for dinner" - br-inner!

This is the kind of thing you could order at one of those breakfast places. … [Read more...]
Cinnamon French Toast with Berries
Gone. Wiped out. Polished clean. And there might have been some licking of plates. (Because, when else does mom include sugar with dinner!?!) Pretty much only at a 'brinner' like this!

3-Ingredient Pineapple Muffins
Yup yup...just 3 ingredients! Self rising flour, sugar and crushed pineapple. I'm all about the time hacks...including not pulling out all.the.baking.things. when you can use self-rising flour instead! Self-rising flour works wonderfully in many recipes, especially this one. I have not experimented with other sweeteners, but think that applesauce or coconut sugar would be … [Read more...]
Loaded Potato Breakfast Omelet in a Mug

Mix it all up, microwave for a few … [Read more...]
Instant Pot Steel Cut Oats with Berries
Obsessed. Obsessed with this steel cut oatmeal. Obsessed with how easily and quickly it cooks. And how perfectly it ends up tasting! And my obsession with my Instant Pot is strengthening too. It's slowly taking over in my kitchen. It's neck and neck now with my slow cooker. (I still use my slow cooker all the time.) But I'm using the Instant Pot more now for side … [Read more...]
