Every Sunday morning the smell of homemade breakfast floated through the air when I was a child. Unfortunately for my kids, the smell of homemade breakfast usually only floats through the air in our house when we are having breakfast for dinner. Or, when they can con their dad into cooking them breakfast....
When I need something quick to make for dinner (translation: when I forget to set something out to thaw), I always fall back to “breakfast for dinner”. But, I get tired of the usual bacon and eggs or pancakes. This Dutch Baby Pancake was just the “something different” I was looking for. It’s like a...
“I’m back in the saddle again.”
After taking an extra long break from cooking, I’ve got my mojo back. I fell off the proverbial horse but got right back on. I’m back to torturing my family with my cooking concoctions. They probably wouldn’t admit to it, but I don’t think this...
I can’t believe I’m posting this on the first official day of spring. It’s snowing outside! Here’s a toast to spring…with my hot chocolate to keep me warm until it decides to finally get here to stay.

I’ve had this recipe for awhile now and never tried it. Recently I was scrounging for something to make for breakfast because cooking supplies were dangerously low in our household. I was boycotting grocery shopping. However, I didn’t boycott eating. As luck would have it, I had all the supplies I...
In preparation of bringing home 4 dozen freshly baked cookies from a cookie exchange tonight, I’m making myself feel a tiny bit better about hoarding the entire 4 dozen to myself while I sit in the corner of my closet by drinking a healthy strawberry banana smoothie for breakfast. Perhaps I’ll drink one of these...
Today is the day. Today is the day I get to meet The Pioneer Woman and have her sign my copy of her cookbook. This is probably the closest I’ll get to meeting someone famous. I’m sure I’ll get up there and be able to think of absolutely nothing to say to her. Others will...
Being that I’m not a morning person, I sometimes opt to enjoy a nice breakfast for dinner. In a pinch, you can’t beat a quick meal of eggs, bacon and some type of bread. French toast bites are fun for a change and easy for little ones…and big ones, like me…to eat. ...
Growing up, every Sunday morning my mom would make some type of homemade breakfast. Unfortunately, that tradition didn’t carry over into my own family because, if I’m lucky, I am the last one to wake up on Sunday mornings. Breakfast on the weekends in our household is my husband’s duty. Sometimes he cooks,...
