I prepare a “traditional” breakfast only on Sundays or holidays.  I made these blueberry pancakes a couple weeks ago (because blueberries were on sale) and my family gobbled them up!  I prefer to use fresh blueberries but you could use frozen- just be sure to thaw and rinse to avoid purple pancakes!
The recipe- from Everyday [...]

Psst… Just in case you’ve been too busy to notice… Next Thursday is Thanksgiving.  And you know that means people will be at your house- or you’ll be at someone’s house- and breakfast will need to be made.  This is a quick and easy option that pleases everyone.  Make it the night before [...]

I was gone for four days last week/end and my cupboards were practically bare when I got home.  So I searched my recipes and my pantry and pulled out recipes that used what I had on hand.  And this was our dinner.
Not only were the girls ecstatic that we were having chocolate waffles for dinner- [...]

I’m a huge fan of quiche. It’s one of the most versatile meals I make. It works for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner… Another plus is that you can add veggies or meat to it easily. And my girls love quiche- we call it “cheese pie”. Two of the greatest things [...]

One of my favorite comfort foods is biscuits and gravy. Of course I can’t make them often… I suppose that’s why they are called “comfort foods”. But I plan to make them this weekend so I wanted to share the recipe I’ve found that is easy to make and very tasty. [...]

Pastries for breakfast area special treat in our house. Mostly because they are so yummy and I could eat them all in one sitting. So I held on to this recipe from Hershey’s Kitchen for quite a while before I made it knowing that it would be delicious.
And I wasn’t wrong. These [...]

One of the perks of writing about food is that, sometimes, companies want you to eat their food. Depending on the company I will either accept or decline the offer.
A couple of weeks ago Robert’s Dairy, a company well known in the Midwest, reached out to me via Mom Select and asked if I [...]

One of the very best desserts I’ve had was strawberry shortcake at The Cheesecake Factory. No, they aren’t known for it but, oh! Is it good! It consisted of one huge biscuit of shortcake that was probably 6 or 7 inches in diameter, split, with 3 scoops of ice cream in between, covered [...]

I love recipes that surprise me. And this one really did. First, it was quite easy to make. Second, the sausage and apple combination was delicious. Third, I really love that this can be made in individual portions (as the title suggests) or as one big “griddle cake”.
This is a great [...]

The first time I had a pancake like this was when Doug took me on a surprise trip to Country Club Plaza in Kansas City and we had breakfast at a chic little diner there. They were called “Dutch Babies” on that menu. I think they are quite similar (if not the same) [...]

I’ve made these lovely drinks twice now. And they were a hit both times. You’re just going to have to believe how pretty they are because, somehow, I misplaced the photos I downloaded. They are no where to be found.
So when I tell you that this creates a festive ruby beverage that [...]

I’ll be the first to admit that bread puddings are not really high on my list of dessert goodies; mainly because most bread puddings contain raisins which I am really not fond of (but both my girls and my husband love).
I do, however, adore both coconut and chocolate which both play a BIG part in [...]

I love a good quiche. It’s great for just about any meal. You can serve it with fresh fruit for breakfast or brunch and with a salad fro lunch or dinner.
The biggest problem with many quiches is that they call for expensive cheeses. Which make wonderful quiche but can add up if you’re on a [...]

I made these cream horns for Mother’s Day brunch last year. I can’t even begin to tell you how yummy they are. Don’t let the prettiness frighten you. These are so easy to make- just a bit time consuming.
Just be warned- once you make these you will never be satisfied with cream horns from a [...]

I love Panera. I love their bagels, I love their pastries and I especially love their baked egg souffles. Mmmm… Yummy and light; eggs, cheese, meat.
I searched for recipes that were do-able for me but never found one that I loved- until my most recent Cuisine magazine came. Their recipe uses frozen puff pastry (one [...]
