Bacon-Sausage Pancake Casserole and Waffle Fruit Kabobs
Did you know that February is National Hot Breakfast Month? When I think of a good breakfast, I think of pancakes and waffles and maybe some eggs, bacon, or sausage on the side. If you’re like me, you probably don’t have much time on weekday mornings to make and enjoy a hearty breakfast like this. That’s why…

Apricot-Honey Granola
This golden granola reminds me of summertime! The combination of chopped and chunky dried apricots and golden raisins taste great together. Apricot-Honey Granola has a lot of other good things that I often add to my homemade granolas: sunflower kernels, coconut flakes, wheat germ or flaxseed, and chopped nuts.

Bacon Onion Mushroom Quiche
Quiche is a great way to start the day and this is a tasty one with bacon, green onions and mushrooms! I take the easy route and use a pouch of real bacon pieces, but you can always fry your own bacon and crumble it. Or, if you’re not a meat-eater, you can leave out…

The Easiest Sweet Cornbread
This cornbread is so good, you’d never guess it was so easy! If you’ve ever been to a restaurant called Tippins (as far as I know, there’s one in Kansas City, Tulsa, and Dallas) and had their delicious sweet cornbread, this recipe tastes a lot like that. It’s great with chili or just on its own,…

Mocha Banana Pecan Overnight Oats
I’ve noticed lots and lots of recipes for overnight oats in the last few years and have been wanting to try making some. I finally got around to doing that after receiving some complimentary breakfast coffees from Community Coffee. They sent me one of their new products, Amber Sunrise Blend, along with their tried-and-true Breakfast Blend.

Yogurt with Mixed Berries, Walnuts, and Dark Chocolate
This is such an easy and healthy recipe for breakfast, a snack, or dessert! it’s from a new book called The SirtFood Diet. Before I received my review copy, I had never heart of “Sirtfoods.” In a nutshell, what I read in this book was that polyphenol nutrients from certain plants are good for us. And plants that have…

Coconut Date Granola
It was time for me to make some homemade granola–I make it every few months and this Coconut Date Granola is a sweeter granola than I usually make, because in addition to honey and maple syrup (I usually use one or the other, or some of both) this also is sweetened with light brown sugar. It…

Whole Wheat Banana Bread
Usually when I bake things I use unbleached all-purpose flour. But I had purchased some organic whole wheat flour and was wanting to try making something with it. I like baking quick breads and I hadn’t made any banana bread lately, so I decided to try making a loaf of Whole Wheat Banana Bread.

Cranberry Sauce Muffins
If you happen to have any extra cranberry sauce during the holidays, here’s a good recipe you can use it in! These Cranberry Sauce Muffins are sweetened with brown sugar and whole berry cranberry sauce—you can use your own homemade cranberry sauce, like this Fresh Cranberry Sauce)—or you can use whole berry cranberry sauce from a can. These muffins have some oats…

Mixed Fruit Granola
Granola is one of my favorite breakfast items and I love making my own–I’m definitely hooked on homemade granola! I often used dried fruit like cranberries, raisins, and blueberries, but this time I used some freeze-dried fruit. I recently received some complimentary samples from CRUNCHIES® and thought they would work great in granola. CRUNCHIES® offers a variety of freeze-dried fruits (and…

Yellow Squash Muffins
Yellow squash in a muffin? I know that may sound a little strange, but believe me, these muffins are deliciously moist and sweetened just right with honey and brown sugar! I thought about trying yellow squash in muffins after using zucchini in quick breads and cake. So why not yellow squash in baked goods?

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread
I’ve posted a few zucchini recipes this summer and here’s another one for you! This Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread is so moist and has some yummy ingredients like brown sugar, a little honey, and best of all, a whole cup of mini semi-sweet chocolate chips! That’s a pretty good amount of chocolate! The grated zucchini is probably…
