Freezer Mashed Potatoes
Did you guys know you can freeze mashed potatoes?? Pretty awesome revelation. I usually don’t make mashed potatoes on a week night because it seems like too much effort. It’s not really that difficult, but boiling pots of potatoes (that often boil over) and needy children don’t mix. So I save it for a time […]
Sweet Beet Pancakes
Oh, how the times have changed. If you told me five years ago that I’d be recommending that you eat beets in any form, I would have laughed in your face. But here I am, about to tell you why you need to make beet pancakes- and soon. This weekend, I had my first experience […]
Fresh Strawberry Cake with Cream Cheese Swiss Meringue Buttercream
I am considering this Lucy’s very first birthday cake. Okay, okay.. right now, it’s more for Mama than it is for little Lucy, but I will certainly make it for her again some day. Lucille Naomi joined the world a week ago today; at home, in the water, and much quicker than I expected. But […]
Make Ahead Baked Oatmeal
Baked oatmeal is a great way to start your morning. I just ate this beautiful breakfast and the day is already off to a great start. Growing up in Central PA, baked oatmeal was always one of my favorite treats to have when we went out for breakfast. Every little diner and family restaurant has […]
Spinach Kale and Pear Smoothie
Green drink! Are you in, loves? My last attempt at a green smoothie wasn’t exactly what I hoped for. So, I picked myself up and found some more green inspiration. Kale. Spinach. Pear. YUM. This smoothie looks very green, but you don’t actually taste any of the green stuff. All I really tasted was the […]
Cinnamon Sugar Baked Doughnuts
Back in January, when I started this whole great adventure, I promised you doughnuts during Brunch Month. It took me all month, but I can finally deliver! Here’s my deal with doughnuts. I usually don’t eat them. I don’t work in an office these days, and I don’t make a habit of driving through Krispy […]
Ham and Egg Crepe Squares
These crepes have been on my mind for weeks. I am so glad I finally made them! I’ve never made crepes before, just never got around to it. I thought they were hard to make. I should have just listened to Ricky Bobby.. (am I really quoting Talladega Nights?) “They’re like really thin pancakes.” He’s right, though, they […]
Spinach Cheddar Strata with Crispy Breakfast Ham
Now that all that first birthday biz is behind us, I can focus back on March’s original task- bringing you delicious brunch inspiration. Aren’t you loving spring already? We absolutely are. We’ve already got some produce growing in the yard.. the green is beautiful!If you’ve never heard of a strata, it’s a layered casserole dish, […]
Mini Frittatas
It’s March! That means it’s Brunch month in my Great Food Adventure. To tell you the truth, I’m relieved. Those macarons last month were giving me drama. I think brunch is one of the greatest ideas ever. I only wish I could enjoy it more! I’m always ravenous in the morning and the bean never […]
