Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal
Recently my Big Helper wanted to bake some dessert, but since I didn’t have breakfast made for the next day, I asked her to work on that first.

We ended up making a few minor changes to… Continue reading Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal
Hugs and Kisses Banana Bread Pancakes
When I first heard of banana bread pancakes, I knew I had to try them. It sounded simple and healthy, but who doesn’t love banana bread? It’s delicious!

Hearty Breakfast Casserole
I love serving lots of delicate, light things for breakfast, but sometimes you need something heartier, something heavier, something that’s easy to prepare, tastes fabulous, and will stay hot while serving a crowd. This simple casserole fits the bill. It’s a wonderful brunch item. I’ve served it for Christmas brunch, en masse at church breakfasts,… Continue reading Hearty Breakfast Casserole

Do you ever just want to try something different? My Big Helper and I were in that kind of mood last week.

So we decided to play, and… Continue reading Caramel Pumpkin Doughnut Hole (Muffins)
Blueberry Biscuits
Recently my Little Man commented about how much he would like to eat a local fast food restaurant’s blueberry biscuit. This treat tastes fantastic, but is no doubt quite unhealthy, so it’s not something that he’s had more than a few times. And then I wondered: why couldn’t WE make blueberry biscuits? I couldn’t… Continue reading Blueberry Biscuits
