Breakfast

• Perfect Waffles

  Breakfast for dinner.  Happens a lot at my house.  Not every week, but it’s such an easy go-to solution when life gets in the way of planning and executing a successful meal plan.  Usually, even if I have neglected to go grocery shopping, we have eggs on hand and bacon, if we’re lucky. This time, ...
• Sweet Potato & Pecan Muffins

  Fall flavors continue to mesmerize and inspire me in the kitchen.  This time I’ve moved on from pumpkin to sweet potatoes. {I’m not completely moving on from pumpkin, but Spicehubby has requested I give it a break for a while!}  ;) Since the time change this past weekend has made getting up early a little easier, ...

• Easter Brunch

  With no particular plans for Easter Sunday (except to avoid any work whatsoever and try our best to relax), I woke up bright and early in a mood to cook! 6:30 this morning, coffee in hand I started rummaging through several of my cookbooks for inspiration. Funny enough, it was a fellow blogger that provided ...
