Alright, back to baking! There is one heck of an explanation to the delay, but I’ll post that to the life section later. For now, on to the muffins! I finally started dipping my toes into the whole canning experience this summer. I am a fan. A fan who didn’t realize just how long it…
Breakfast
Apple Pie Inspired Muffins
I find breakfast to be the hardest meal of the day to figure out. It can be tough to switch things up enough that the kids don’t get board, without just filling a bowl with sugary cereal (though I do that quite frequently as a snack before breakfast, so don’t think I’m preaching here). Muffins, I’ve…
Bacon and Cheese Breakfast Strata
I figure if anything with bacon is a win, than adding cheese should just be a double win, right? I mean, I’m really not sure there’s much else that could be done with this to improve it, and I wasn’t even sure what a strata was before this morning. I just really wanted to use my…
French Breakfast Puffs
Here’s a quick and easy recipe to change-up your breakfast routine. I get bored some times of the waffles, pancakes, french toast, eggs and bacon (though I will say that these are an awesome compliment to the eggs and bacon if you’re doing a big brunch style breakfast), etc. Some times it’s just nice to…
Swiss Eibrot (French Toast Bites)
This is one of my favorite breakfasts to make. When Oliver’s having a lazy morning, and he just wants to lay on the couch and watch a movie, I almost always make him a bowl of these so that he can just grab them with his hand and pop them in his mouth. Traditionally they’re…
Ridiculously Easy Silver Dollar Pancakes
I really don’t use the term “ridiculously” often (ok, maybe I do). These though, these really are ridiculously easy. You can whip them up in a blender, then it’s even easy to pour them into your pan. If you don’t have a blender just use your hand mixer, no biggie. I was nervous when I…
Quick and Easy 5 Minute Sticky Buns
These are the easiest cinnamon sticky buns you will ever make, and that’s a promise. Want to know the secret? You’re not going to make any dough. I first gave these a try on Christmas morning, thinking it could be a quick way to eat something between opening presents, without missing out on any of…
Ultimate Crispy and Fluffy Waffles
This is my go-to recipe for waffles, and it’s breakfast in this house every Sunday morning. Waffles can be tough to get right; sometimes they’re soggy, sometimes they’re rock hard. They can lack flavor or sweetness, or be way over seasoned. To me though, the most important thing is the texture. I need my waffles to be…
Canadian Bacon and Egg Sandwich
Just another quick sandwich post, clearly I have an addiction going right now. Ciabatta bread, fried egg, fried peameal bacon, a dash of ketchup (if that’s your thing), and some cheese (personally I’m a fan of havarti; I’m a fan of it on just about everything). So, no recipe coming with this one, I don’t…
Fluffy Pancakes
Here’s a nice, quick little recipe for some of the fluffiest pancakes I’ve ever made. I find that pancakes are tough to love some times. They can be too thin, without enough chew. They can just sort of dissolve as soon as they hit your tongue, and they often just become overrun with the flavour of syrup….
Sour Cream Scones
I was in a bit of a bind for breakfast this morning. I’d been out of bread all week, a combination of forgetfulness last week when shopping and laziness this week in not wanting to load up the kids and run out, in the rain, only to buy bread. I did finally tonight, but I…
Granola
This is one of the easiest things in the world to make, and it is so great. So much better then those boxed granola style cereals that you buy, and it’s fantastic sprinkled on top of yogurt or ice cream. You can add basically anything that you like to it as well, this recipe is…
Battered Style French Toast
I used to always make French Toast what I thought was the standard way. Throw a bunch of eggs in a bowl, whisk them together with a splash of milk and some cinnamon and cook them in a non-stick skillet. I still think that there’s a place for this style too. It’s nice and easy…
Puffy Oven Pancakes
Puffy Oven Pancakes (aka Dutch Babies… you can’t make that kinda thing up!) This is absolutly one of my favorite breakfasts to make. It’s Oliver approved too, always a bonus! Plus, there are a bunch of different variations you can make on it. Here we go:
My Cheddar (not Bay) Biscuits and My (not Bisquick) Biscuit Mix
So, I’m pregnant, and being so I get cravings. Frequently this time around, and a couple of weeks ago all I wanted were the Red Lobster Cheddar Bay biscuits. I’d been down this road before, and I’ve tried many of the online versions only to be disappointed, so at least I knew what not to…
Breakfast Loafs
Breakfast Loafs (aka Breakfast Muffins) I got the idea for this one last week from a poster on the bump. I couldn’t find a recipe on-line, so I had to wing it, but was pleasantly surprised! This is another Oliver approved breakfast!
