breakfast

Growing up, mom used to grow her own zucchini in the garden and make this amazing zucchini bread with it. The bread could be smelled throughout the house and brought everyone to the kitchen for mom's latest creation.

School was called off on account of an impending snowstorm and I began to crave pancakes with homemade blueberry sauce. It had been a while since last I made blueberry sauce from scratch, so I started digging for my recipe. After some frantic searching, I was ecstatic to locate the recipe! Now it's time to share it with you, my adoring fans. ;)

We love banana bread around here! We just can't get enough of it. In fact, whenever I make it, I end up eating entirely too much of it! That's ok, though. It has bananas in it, so it's healthy, right? ;)

Oh Betty Crocker Cookbook, what would I do without you? So many recipes, so little time!

We do love our breakfast foods around here. As breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day for getting the brain and body ready to work, we always make sure to eat something before heading out the door. Unfortunately, it's also at a time of day where our bodies are not fully awake and fighting the concept of eating.

Upon going out to brunch with a friend, we discovered a delightful new take on Eggs Benedict. Instead of using butter on the English muffins, they used Artichoke Dip. Instead of ham, they used a sausage pattie. To the traditional hollandaise sauce, they added pesto. In combination, this was simply the best Eggs Benedict I had ever had.

I used to babysit all the time in middle / high school. I had a blast, especially when the kids started getting interested in cooking! We would always start with something simple but involving an oven or stove because kids feel accomplished when they get to use the oven or stove for the first time. Thus, eggs are one of my favorite things to teach first-time cooks (of all ages) how to make. They are versatile in their uses and tasty all by themselves.

Once upon a time, I was walking through the grocery store's frozen foods section and happened across this delightful concept called the Sunday Brunch Pizza (or breakfast pizza). One of the breakfast pizzas looked particularly intriguing: apple streusel.

I love smoothies! Fruit smoothies are probably one of the greatest healthy foods. It's as simple as blending your favorite fruits with some yogurt! Yum! And they're filling. How great is that?

So now we are going to make a super simple, tasty smoothie that you can eat for breakfast, as a snack, or just because.

Now that we have made our Tasty Cinnamon Rolls from Scratch, it is time to cook up some Cinnamon Roll French Toast!  It's almost identical to the regular French Toast Recipe, but we are going to take our cinnamon rolls, cut them in half, and dip them, instead of the Texas Toast.  This is definitely a breakfast for those with a swe
