French Toast with Apple Sauce
Who doesn’t love a nice slice of french toast with a bit of maple syrup. Try my twist on this breakfast favorite with cinnamon and apple sauce. Serve it with syrup, or a side of stewed apples. Or how about some apple syrup on top. It’s quick and easy to make and tastes wonderful. French […]
Continue readingHomemade Breakfast Muesli
I grew up eating my fair share of Muesli in Germany. When I first came to the US, it was hard to find it here. I started making my own and while there are plenty of different kinds of Muesli available now, I still prefer to make my own. It only takes a few minutes […]
Continue readingSunday Morning Tofu Scramble
Ready for something a little different than eggs? Tofu makes a wonderful egg substitute in this filling Sunday Morning breakfast that’s not only tasty but good for you. This makes a great vegan alternative to egg scramble. Mix up the tofu with some of your favorite vegetables. I like onions, tomatoes and peppers, but even […]
Continue readingRoasted Tomato Scrambled Eggs
A hardy breakfast that keeps you full until lunch doesn’t have to be bad for you. I love the combination of roasted tomatoes and egg in this dish. Best of all, it only uses one pan. You can easily change things up by adding a little chopped ham or turkey to the scrambled eggs. I […]
Continue readingEasy Breakfast Granola
Are you a fan of granola? My daughter loves it. Granola and yogurt is one of her favorite breakfasts and snacks. I love the fact that with this simple overnight granola recipe I control the ingredients and know exactly what goes in it. I serve this either with milk or yogurt and a side of […]
Continue readingBacon, Egg and Potato Skillet
My mom used to call this a farmer’s skillet, which makes sense since everything you need to make this hardy breakfast dish come from the farm, including the bacon, eggs, potatoes, veggies and cheese. Serve this for breakfast or pair it with a nice salad and call it dinner. Either way it’s hard to find […]
Continue readingBagel French Toast
Ready for a little change in your french toast? How about making it with a bagel instead? Since bagels are already nice and chewy, it makes an awesome slice of french toast. Sere them with a drizzle of maple sirup, topped with fresh fruit, or a bit of jam or jelly. This makes for a […]
Continue readingPeanut Butter and Banana Wrap or Sandwich
This couldn’t be much simpler, but the combination of crunchy peanut butter, banana and honey is a favorite around here. You can serve this for breakfast or stick it in the lunch box. It also makes a great snack any time of the day. Try it on different types of breads and different wraps. Since […]
Continue readingOrange Waffles
These delicious orange flavored waffles made with orange juice and oil are sure to impress your brunch guests. At the same time the recipe is easy enough to serve your family anytime. I make these in big batches and freeze them for delicious breakfasts throughout the week. Once you start making your own waffles, you […]
Continue readingHam or Turkey Breakfast Hash
If you’re in the mood for a big breakfast that doesn’t include any grain, breakfast hash with a side of eggs is hard to beat. I like to make up a big batch of the potato, onion and meat mixture and keep it in the fridge to use throughout the week. Just heat up and […]
Continue readingCheese & Grits Breakfast Casserole
My husband grew up on sausage and grits in the morning. While a microwave sausage patty and instant grits will do during the week, this weekend version is a real treat. It’s good home-cooking, perfect for a cozy family weekend, but pretty enough to serve at a brunch. This is also perfect for church or […]
Continue readingGreen Chili and Cheese Breakfast Casserole
Is there anything better than a nice breakfast casserole on cold Sunday morning? Here’s a new recipe I’ve been playing with that has some fun Southwestern flavors. The casserole is easy to put together and can sit in the fridge overnight. You just bake it while enjoying your first cup of coffee and by the […]
Continue readingOvernight Apple Cinnamon Crockpot Oatmeal
Is there anything better than a nice warm bowl of oatmeal on a cool fall day? Actually, there is. It’s waking up to the smell of said oatmeal cooking when you wake up. My absolute favorite kind is apple cinnamon. It’s what my husband cooks me when we’re camping and I’ve adapted it for the […]
Continue readingDairy Free Overnight Oatmeal
After I shared my overnight oatmeal recipe the other day, a close friend of mine asked if I knew how to make this dish dairy-free. Her daughter is lactose intolerant, so using milk and yogurt were out. Since the yogurt helps with the consistency of the finished oatmeal, I had to get a little creative. […]
Continue readingBlueberry Cornbread Recipe
I have plenty of blueberries in the freezer from this summer’s harvest. We love using them in smoothies, adding them to plain yogurt and the likes. My favorite new way to use them up though is in sweet corn bread. This is different from your regular stuff that you eat with pinto beans. It has […]
