Breakfast Cookies Recipe

I’m forever on the hunt for healthy things my toddler will eat. Whenever possible, I like to make things at home as opposed to buying them so I can control the quality of ingredients. The less additives, the better! Breakfast seems to be the most challenging meal for me be creative with. I’m a working […]

My New Favorite Pancake Recipe

Let me tell you about my new favorite pancake recipe.  They’re so flavorful and fluffy, plus there’s all kinds of good stuff in them – whole wheat flour, oats, flax seeds.  There’s no oil, white flour, or sugar.   Compared to plain white pancakes, these are faintly nutty, slightly sweet, slightly salty, and have just the […]

Pumpkin Pecan Pancakes

Many people love pumpkin recipes in the fall, but I prefer not to discriminate against pumpkin’s delicious offerings, opting to enjoy them any time.  Sure, pumpkins themselves aren’t in season right now, but pumpkin puree is available year-round, and it’s not like I cook my own pumpkins for recipes anyway.  So although it’s January, give […]

Chocolate Pecan Bars

These.  Are.  Delicious.  Sinfully delicious.  And rich.  And decadent.  I first made these at Thanksgiving with my Mother in Law, but I didn’t have my camera so I didn’t blog it then.  They were so good though – Tim’s sister even said it was the best thing she ever ate – that I knew I’d […]

Savory Apple Bacon Sweet Potatoes

It’s hard to believe Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away!  Surely I’m not the only one who has started thinking about what I’m going to take to our family get-togethers.  I’ve mentioned before how much I love sweet potatoes.  Don’t get me wrong – I love the sweet, buttery, brown sugary, pecan topped sweet […]

Whole Wheat Blueberry Pecan Pancakes

Exciting news – our kitchen is done!…ish.  🙂  I mean, it’s definitely back in working order.  We still have a few things to put away, the crown molding needs to go on top of the cabinets, the dishwasher has to be mounted to the cabinets, and I have to get a new curtain and put […]

Healthy Apple Muffins with Pecan Topping

When I’m looking for a healthy recipe, one of the first places I usually look is at Ellie Krieger’s recipes.  I needed to make some muffins last week, and of course, I wanted them to be healthy.  I found this recipe and gave it a try.  The muffins turned out very delicious and the apple […]

Homemade Granola Bars, The Sequel

I’ve been working at the granola bars again.  This time, I went an entirely different route.  The last three times I made them (until I got them right), I went the peanut butter, nut, chocolate route.  And they were crispy and crunchy.  And delicious.  But as good as those were, I was itching to try […]

Baked Oatmeal with Strawberries, Bananas, and Chocolate

I saw this recipe on Pinterest a while back, and it just looked so delicious.  Sometimes I need to cook breakfast for a crowd, like when we have family in town, so I am always keeping an eye out for new breakfast recipes.  You see a lot of breakfast casseroles that have eggs, meat, and […]
