My holiday baking extravaganza has kicked into high gear. I haven't made any cookies yet, but I've made plenty of candies, muffins, and other dessert options. I have two more weekends to bake all the best stuff, and I plan on making the most of it. I made this cranberry muffin recipe on a whim… Continue reading Cranberry Macadamia Nut Muffins

Apple Butter Pancakes
I remember when I was a kid I used to love apple butter. I would slather it on toast and be set for breakfast with just that. No eggs or bacon needed for me. Nope. I just needed my apple butter toast. I eventually grew out of that phase and eventually ended up forgetting apple… Continue reading Apple Butter Pancakes
Pumpkin French Toast Bake
Pumpkin spice everything is all the rage right now. I know it usually gets a big boost in the fall, but this year it seems like it's absolutely everywhere. I'm not complaining. I love pumpkin. I mix it in with my oatmeal, coffee, and pies. It's delicious. Pumpkin doesn't have much flavor in and of… Continue reading Pumpkin French Toast Bake
Tater Tot Breakfast Bake
I'm in the camp that believes breakfast casseroles are not just meant for the holidays. That's typically when people make them. I'm guessing a lot of people reserve breakfast casseroles for Christmas because they can feed a lot of people with minimal effort. But if you meal prep like I do, having leftovers is a… Continue reading Tater Tot Breakfast Bake
Farmer’s Breakfast Casserole
This is a classic breakfast recipe. Farm fresh ingredients. Crispy, smoky bacon. Hashbrowns cooked with cheese. Those are all the things people enjoy in a good breakfast-time meal. When I first spotted this recipe, it was simple enough that I'd usually turn the page in my cookbooks. But something about it called out to me;… Continue reading Farmer’s Breakfast Casserole
Turkey Bacon Egg Cups
I've eaten the same breakfast for more than a year now. 2 eggs. 1 slice of cheese. 2 slices of whole wheat bread. Make a sandwich, then repeat. I'm a creature of habit, I suppose. I like to have a routine in the mornings. If I don't, I'll just lay on the couch and not… Continue reading Turkey Bacon Egg Cups
Baked Banana Blueberry Oatmeal
I've taken some time off over the last few weeks while my family was down here in Oklahoma. When I left this little corner of the internet, it was a mild spring-like environment down here in the Sooner state. When I returned, it was like I was entering the fiery pits of hell. I don't… Continue reading Baked Banana Blueberry Oatmeal
Strawberry Chocolate Chip Protein Pancake Bites
I've never been a person who liked sweet breakfast foods. Cereal, waffles, pancakes, French toast--- all of those things are sub-standard to me. I will gladly choose a breakfast burrito or bacon and eggs above a plate of pancakes anyday. I make sweet breakfasts for my husband all the time. He enjoys eating oatmeal before… Continue reading Strawberry Chocolate Chip Protein Pancake Bites
Goat Cheese & Roasted Tomato Frittata
It's a beautiful morning and I'm officially on vacation for the next 7 days! I've got to start packing after I blog. I haven't done a lick of packing! My husband and I are leaving as soon as he gets off work, so I'm under quite the time crunch. I wanted to at least leave… Continue reading Goat Cheese & Roasted Tomato Frittata

It's absolutely beautiful in the countryside right now.The birds are chirping, the daffodils are blooming (in record numbers!) and the grass is slowly starting to green up on the lawn.It's easy to get lost in the tranquility out here.
