Fresh Veggie Egg Scramble {Recipe}
I am so sad that today is our last day of the Worden Farm season! (SW Florida residents, don’t miss the FREE Prospective Member Event happening this afternoon!) We have SO enjoyed our overabundance of fresh veggies for the past 20 weeks, and we will be counting the days until the new season begins next December! I’ve talked about it a lot, but joining a farm co-op is a great way to save money on produce. You can check out your own local options on localharvest.org! But on to the food! In our house Daddy is in charge of omelets–mine don’t even come close–but Mommy makes the best scrambled eggs. ... read more
Overnight French Toast {with Warm Maple Butter Syrup}
I’ve made a version of this amazingly decadent french toast recipe for so many gatherings–and shared it with so many of my friends over the years–that I honestly can’t believe I haven’t posted it here until now. It is absolutely delicious yet super simple to make and practically fool-proof. Best of all, it can be prepared the night before so that all you have to do is crumble on the streusel topping, pop it in the oven, and heat the syrup. It is my number one go-to recipe for any big breakfast or brunch, and we will for sure be adding this one to our Easter Brunch menu this year! ... read more
Easy Cinnamon Roll Waffles {with Creamy Maple Glaze}
I had a totally different recipe planned to share with you this week, but then I made these cinnamon roll waffles on Saturday and I knew I had to share them with y’all ASAP! I honestly don’t think I have ever seen my kids eat so fast or so much for breakfast! Healthy, they are not, but isn’t that what Saturday morning breakfasts are for? The best thing about them (besides the utter yumminess) is that they are SO easy. I can barely even call it a recipe, but since there was a small amount of mixing and measuring involved, I guess it counts. (Printable version of this recipe ... read more
Dutch Babies {Recipe}
Oh, Dutch Babies….how do I love thee? All that buttery goodness, clumps of powdered sugar, crispy crust and light-but-dense center, drizzled with real maple syrup and oozing with down-home goodness. Honestly, although my family likes a lot of different things, there is truly only one dish that can make all four of us downright giddy in anticipation. It is the one dish that we always make for special occasions, for guests, birthdays, & holidays. It is hands down my family’s favorite breakfast. So what are they? I’m not really sure how to even describe it–a cross between a baked pancake and a soufflé, I suppose, but with none of the ... read more
Pumpkin Coconut Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Muffins {Recipe}
Sometime last winter I found canned pumpkin on clearance at Walgreeens. It made the perfect “filler” item to complete my multiple transactions, so I stocked up and bought all the cans they had left. I’m so happy fall is finally here so I can start to use it! (I am incapable of eating pumpkin anything at any other time of the year. Is that just me?) These muffins were a breeze to whip up and soooo yummy! If you’re not into coconut or chocolate, you could easily omit one or both and have them taste just as good. Pumpkin Coconut Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Muffins Muffins 1 c. sugar 1 ... read more
Perfect Scrambled Eggs {Recipe}
I’m a big fan of breakfast foods but I don’t normally eat breakfast. And six days out of seven, I unfortunately don’t have time to cook a big breakfast for anyone else. On Valentine’s Day I wanted to make heart-shaped waffles, but V-day fell on a Monday this year. Despite my best intentions of waking up early to cook a special breakfast for the family, it just wasn’t going to happen. And then it occurred to me. We could eat breakfast for dinner. Would you believe that in 7 years, Husband and I have never once eaten breakfast for dinner? Shocking, I know. But not only was it delicious, it ... read more
Refrigerator Raisin Bran Muffins
These refrigerator bran muffins–a family recipe shared by my amazing Auntie Lois–are an all-time favorite in my house. They are SO yummy! The recipe makes a huge batch, but the batter stores in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. It is perfect for busy mornings because we can spoon out just what we need and have a hot, delicious, & healthy breakfast even when we are short on time (or energy.) Here is what you need: 1 15oz box Raisin Bran 5 cups flour 2 1/2 cups sugar 5 teaspoons baking soda 2 teaspoons salt 4 cups buttermilk 1 cup vegetable oil 4 eggs 1 1/2 cups Craisins or ... read more
