You know a good corn muffin in the first bite. The perfect balance of sweet and grainy cornmeal, with a sticky top. This is literally the only corn muffin recipe I ever use (thank you, Neely’s!). They’re fantastic for breakfast (lightly toasted with a smear of butter) or (more frequently in our house) for dinner [Read More…]

Zucchini Ribbon Quiche
A quiche that’s delicious and beautiful. Swirls of zucchini and turkey bacon turn this ordinary quiche into a work of art.

It’s worth the extra effort (sooo buttery and [Read More…]

Inspired by those delicious donuts, I bring you banana muffins with a cinnamon sugar topping. The muffins are soft with flecks of banana throughout, with a crunchy pecan sugary top. You [Read More…]
Blueberry Scones
I’d like to introduce you to these scrumptious blueberry scones from one of my favorite food bloggers, Sally from Sally’s Baking Addiction.

Breakfast Pizzas
Pizza for breakfast? You don’t have to ask me twice. I’m THERE. I made this breakfast pizza for Hubs and I on a Saturday morning, and I have to be honest: while I didn’t finish my whole pizza, I was so full I wanted to crawl back into my cozy bed, wake up, eat pizza, and [Read More…]
Salted Pumpkin Spiced Bacon
I had this crazy idea… why not succumb to the pumpkin insanity and turn my bacon into pumpkin-spiced? With one month left to squeeze in all the pumpkin recipes as possible, I bring you a sweet-meets-savory Salted Pumpkin Spiced Bacon. Since I’m not a huge fan of super sweet anything, the added layer of sea salt breaks [Read More…]
Rosemary Black Pepper Bacon
Every Saturday morning I peer through tangled blankets and ask Hubs what he wants for breakfast and I always get the same pleading question: “Whatever you want, but can we have bacon?” If you want a fast pass to a man’s heart, make him bacon. And not just any kind of bacon, dress it up. And, [Read More…]
Swedish Pancakes with Blueberry Compote
These delicate Swedish pancakes are such a treat for breakfast!

Veggie Egg Muffins
If the sun hasn’t been up for more than 4 hours, then quick and easy is my one and only mantra. These fun Egg Muffins are just that… basically a few chops, a scramble, a mix, then baked for 30 minutes. You don’t have to stop at breakfast either. Have one of these alongside a salad [Read More…]
Homemade Cranberry & Almond Granola
Whether served up as cereal or sprinkled on top of yogurt, homemade granola is absolutely amazing! If you’ve never made it before, you’ll love how granola is so easy and customizable.
