If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you know I love all things pumpkin… particularly in the fall. As soon as the temperatures start to drop I’m ready for pumpkin soup, pie, pumpkin spice lattes and the likes. We also make pancakes quite often. My husband and I take turns making up […]
Continue readingA few days ago I shared some tips with you for making and freezing pumpkin puree. Over the next few days I thought I’d share some recipes with you that I use the pumpkin in. Let’s start with something quick and easy. I love starting my fall days with a yummy pumpkin smoothie. The banana […]
Continue readingHere’s a great recipe for some cinnamon raisin biscuits… or call them scones if you’d like. We love these for a special weekend breakfast, or with an afternoon cup of coffee. The frosting is of course optional. Half the time I skip it and the pastries are just as tasty on their own. My husband […]
Continue readingThe recipe I am looking for was a chocolate gravy my grandmother used to make in a skillet on top of the stove. I know it had cocoa and sugar in it and it tasted like warm chocolate pudding. It was made kind of like a milk gravy. Thank you, Mary From The Hillbilly Housewife I […]
Continue readingI love waking up to the smell of breakfast cooking. Sadly, I’m the morning person around here so that doesn’t happen very often… unless I whip up this easy breakfast dish the night before and stick it in the crockpot before going to bed. By the time I’m up and had my first cup of […]
Continue readingThis has been a game changer for us, but frying bacon in the pan can be messy and you have to watch it like a hawk the entire time. I looked into how to cook bacon in the oven a while back and we haven’t looked back since. I love bacon, but I’m not always […]
Continue readingMy daughter loves French toast, but I don’t like the fact that when I make it from scratch, everyone eats while I’m frying up the rest of the toast. This casserole version is the perfect solution. It’s also a lot less messy than making regular French toast. The recipe is from the Breakfast Casseroles Kindle […]
Continue readingA Guest Post By Alice Seba From VegetarianLost.com (great blog to follow). When I was growing up, we had some pretty interesting things for dinner. We had these things that looked like donuts with a dollop of sour cream and jam on them. Other times, we had traditional Czech pancakes, called palačinky, that are more like what […]
Continue readingYou know that I love my cast iron skillets. I won’t bake up cornbread in anything else, but they are useful for so many other cooking jobs as well. Once you’ve built up a nice bit of coating on them, they cook better than any non-stick pan. Today I’d like to share my recipe for […]
Continue readingSome days it’s harder than others to live on a different continent than my mom. She’s taught me so much of what I’m sharing with you here on the HBHW website. She’s always been very frugal and great at planning meals, making something delicious out of (almost) nothing and pinching pennies everywhere. She’s also a […]
Continue readingEach Easter, I buy and bake a big ham. We eat part of it during our Holiday Meal, but the part I get excited about is all the leftovers. The ham bones is of course reserved to make a big pot of pinto beans down the road, but it doesn’t end there. You can add […]
Continue readingScrambled eggs are a staple at my house, but every once in a while I’m ready to mix things up, particularly when I have vegan friends staying over. Tofu is a great alternative and makes for a yummy scramble. My favorite part is that this dish is so versatile. You can serve it on toasted […]

It goes together quickly and can be ready for breakfast in under an hour. If that sounds like too much work early in the morning, […]

Muffins make a great portable breakfast and are also fun additions to any lunch box. This particular muffin recipe is full of ingredients that are good for […]
