If you're one of those people who like to have a plan for everything, then you're my kind of person. I like structure. I like planning for the worst-case scenario. I like routine. If anything unexpected comes up, I can lose my cool really quick. I meal prep lunches for the work week. If I… Continue reading Grab-and-Go Breakfast Burritos

Slow Cooker Ham and Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole
If I ever ran for public office, I'd run on one position and one position only: make breakfast casserole a year-round thing. Why is it that we only eat it around the holidays? That's a travesty, in my opinion. I make breakfast casseroles throughout the year. I like them because my husband and I can… Continue reading Slow Cooker Ham and Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole
Pumpkin Scones with Vanilla Icing
It's hard to believe that Americans obsession with pumpkin spice is realitvely new. 20 years ago, pumpkin spice lattes and pumpkin-flavored candy weren't as big of sellers as they are now. The pumpkin-spice-everything craze did not really start until Starbucks started promoting it excessively a few years ago. What is the reason behind our obsession… Continue reading Pumpkin Scones with Vanilla Icing
Fully Loaded Pigs in a Blanket
I had no idea what to call this recipe. This is the best I could come up with. I used crescent rolls and breakfast link sausage to make a pigs in a blanket more breakfast-y. To make it even MORE breakfast-y, I added fluffy scrambled eggs and melted cheddar cheese. These little bites are delicious.… Continue reading Fully Loaded Pigs in a Blanket
Zucchini Crescent Pie
This recipe comes from a decades-old church cookbook aptly titled 'Look n Cook'. A ladies group at a Methodist church compiled the recipes in the 1960's, but I didn't find the book until this summer. There are no pictures, no special introductions and no information about the history of the church. It simply contains basic… Continue reading Zucchini Crescent Pie
Pumpkin Spice Coffee Cake
One of my fondest memories of my grandmother is helping her make coffee cake. It was her signature recipe and one that she would make for special occasions, holidays, and any time a grandchild would ask for it. It was a simple recipe made from hot roll dough topped with a streusel crumb topping. It… Continue reading Pumpkin Spice Coffee Cake
Copycat Chick-Fil-A Chicken Minis
I love finding a good copycat recipe for a restaurant favorite. When the recipe is spot on, you can save a bunch of money by making it yourself instead of driving to a restaurant. I've made a ton of fantastic copycat recipes including Chipotle carnitas, Piccadilly Macaroni and Cheese, and Cheddar's dijon chicken and mushrooms.… Continue reading Copycat Chick-Fil-A Chicken Minis
Green Chile Sausage Quiche
This isn't your normal, frou-frou quiche. The French would be aghast at the sight of this. Brunch fanatics would probably talk about this quiche behind its back. This is a tried-and-true Southwestern/Texan quiche. With the use of green chiles and sausage, you get a spicy punch every time you take a bite. Quiche is usually… Continue reading Green Chile Sausage Quiche
Spinach and Bacon Quiche
Why do frozen pie crusts come two to a pack? I'm not talking about the rolled up crusts, because that makes sense. You never know when you're going to need a top crust (I'm looking at you, cherry pie). I'm talking about the frozen, already-in-an-aluminum-pie-plate crusts. Why are there two? Most of the time I… Continue reading Spinach and Bacon Quiche
Cheesy Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole
There's nothing like a good ol' breakfast casserole to kickstart your day. Breakfast casseroles are usually relegated to the holidays, but I'm not one to stick with tradition. I love to make them on Sundays and then eat the leftovers throughout the rest of the week. You end up getting plenty of hearty breakfast to… Continue reading Cheesy Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole
