I wish Americans named their meals like the Brits do. British people have so many funny names for foods. Toad in a hole, stargazer pie, bubble and squeak, spotted dick---and there's many more where that came from. I'm going to make "eggs in a nest" a thing, then. Some people refer to toast with an… Continue reading Eggs in a Nest

Easy Make-Ahead Breakfast Sandwiches
Meal prepping will never go out of style. Mark my words. I've been meal-prepping for more than 5 years now. I cook all of my lunches and dinners for the week on Sundays and then eat them throughout the workweek. Sometimes I'll prep a breakfast to eat throughout the week, like overnight oats or freezer… Continue reading Easy Make-Ahead Breakfast Sandwiches
Armadillo Eggs
Oh boy, this recipe is a doozy. I spotted it in my St. Paul Lutheran Church cookbook from Vernon, Texas and knew I had to make it. "Armadillo eggs" are stuffed jalapenos wrapped in a sausage-cheese mixture. This recipe also called for rolling them in Shake n' Bake mix, which I did. This is a… Continue reading Armadillo Eggs
Apple Pie French Toast Bake
Happy Halloween! I'm decked out in a Halloween shirt and Halloween makeup for the day, but after today it's all about my most favorite time of the year: CHRISTMAS! I started early...REALLY early. My house is already decorated for Christmas. I'm recipe testing for Christmas. Even though Halloween isn't in the rear view mirror yet,… Continue reading Apple Pie French Toast Bake
Egg Salad Spinach Wrap
Egg salad is a classic, historical sandwich spread. The first known printed recipe for egg salad came in 1896 inside a Boston School of Cooking book, also known as a Fannie Farmer (the author) book. Egg salad can be served at tea time or other afternoon gatherings. It's the perfect meatless sandwich for a light… Continue reading Egg Salad Spinach Wrap
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
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
Mini Breakfast Pizzas
You're hustling and bustling and trying to get all of your Christmas shopping done before next Friday. There's a ton of work left to do: decorations, wrapping, planning the big feast. Ain't nobody got time to worry about what's for breakfast, right? My family always keeps it simple on Christmas morning. We usually prep a… Continue reading Mini Breakfast Pizzas
Breakfast Egg Salad Sandwich
I'm a big time lover of stinky foods. I've gotten in trouble eating tuna in a confined space at work before. I'll heat up broccoli in the microwave with no shame. I once got the boot from the newsroom for opening up a package of pickled cauliflower (to be fair, it REEKED, and I had… Continue reading Breakfast Egg Salad Sandwich
