It is still October like weather here in Southwest Michigan even though the calendar says it is early July. The high today was low 60s and overnight it was in the high 40s. Ick. Lake Michigan temps are still in the 50s. It has not been warm enough, long enough to get the water warm….

Brown Butter Pecan Pancakes – The End of School is Near!
I am one of those moms that hates when the kids go back to school but loves when summer break begins. I love having the kids home with me. I have always been like that since they were little. I like my breaks from them now and then but they very rarely were ever away…
Ham & Cheese Frittata
Some days you just need to get dinner on the table quickly. Breakfast for dinner is an easy way to have dinner on the table in about 30 minutes. The kids love eggs and I love how easy this is to make. I have been doing a bit of research into specific types of dishes…
A Valentine’s Day Dinner with Love
When you think of Valentine’s Day dinners you do not typically think of pancakes. Normally, we don’t either. But, this dinner had great significance for us. This was our 20th Valentine’s Day together. Twenty years ago we were young, broke and incredibly in love. For our first Valentine’s Day my gift was a box of…
Smoked Sausage Hash with Fried Eggs
I am still cleaning out my pantry and freezer with a “No Buy January.” Except for some fresh produce and dairy I am hoping to have both my freezer and pantry empty by the end of January. My refrigerator is pretty sparse right now and I am working on weeding out all the condiment and…
Cheesy Scrambled Eggs or What Happens When I Don’t Follow the Plan
Yesterday was one of those days that I don’t wish to repeat for quite a long time. In my brilliance I scheduled 3 doctor appointments (2 of which are out-of-town 35 minutes away), a cello lesson for my son and a library program for him all on the same day. Much of the day was…
Cinnamon French Toast Bake
We love our breakfast casseroles. I love that I can make it the night before and just pop them in the oven the next morning. This is our favorite for New Year’s Day because no matter what time we get up breakfast can be on the table in about an hour. My kids love this…
Banana Bread Waffles with Walnuts
My parents will be visiting in less than 24 hours. We haven’t seen each other in about 18 months. We moved 600 miles west, then moved again and bought a house. Then my parents packed up their house of almost 50 years and moved about 600 miles south to be closer to my brother. So,…
Paula Deen’s Pecan Cinnamon French Toast Casserole
First off notice that this is made in a disposable aluminum pan. No, I am not taking this to an event but rather using it to feed my family. Our under the counter mounted sink decided to detach from the counter at 7:00 am the other day. So, we have no water in the kitchen…
Caramelized Onion, Bacon and Cheese Crustless Quiche
I love weekends! Sleeping in, lazy days spent with the family and late dinners happen most weekends. I LOVE bacon. But, I am not a fan of cooking it first thing in the morning. The smell makes me feel nauseated. My children will tell you they very rarely get bacon for breakfast. I don’t mind…
Easy Breadmaker Cinnamon Rolls
Unfrosted Cinnamon Roll I don’t bake. I love to cook but baking is too exacting for me. You have to be precise in your measurements or it doesn’t rise or completely crumbles. For my daughter’s slumber party I wanted to make a special breakfast so I found the EASIEST Breadmaker Cinnamon Rolls I could find…
Ham & Cheese Egg Bake
I had a little piece of ham sitting in the freezer that I needed to get out of my freezer. I searched Pinterest but couldn’t find just what I wanted. I did not want bread or potatoes in the dish. All I wanted was something simple that did not have to set for hours before…
