Yesterday, I showed you all Nick’s birthday muffins, and I’m sure some of you were wondering what that cheesy deliciousness in the background of some of the pictures was. You’d be wrong if you assumed a measly muffin is enough to satisfy Nick’s breakfast appetite. While not averse to sweet breakfasts (Lucky Charms, in particular),…
Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins
These Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins are packed with oats to keep you full all morning, but still fluffy and sweet just like a muffin should be! Nick’s birthday was a few days ago, so… Happy Belated Birthday, Nick! Sadly, Nick spent most of the day traveling home from training in California, flying from Fresno to Salt Lake…
Almond Pear Baked Oatmeal
This easy Almond Pear Baked Oatmeal is the perfect breakfast for your busy week. It’s packed with healthy ingredients and can be made ahead of time and quickly reheated! Because I can’t resist a good deal, and because the Commissary has been offering them for 59 cents a pound for the past couple weeks, I’ve…
Quinoa Breakfast Cookies
When Nick and I were at his Dad’s house in Missouri over the 4th of July, Kelly made us some Quinoa Breakfast Cookies. Being the lover of quinoa that I am, I was instantly intrigued. Well, it turns out they aren’t made with whole quinoa, but quinoa flour! They were also awesome, and I knew…
Dad’s Perfect Pancakes
I’ve been craving pancakes for the last couple weekends now. Problem was, I didn’t have any syrup. It kills me how expensive maple syrup is in Oklahoma (actually, I’m surprised I can even find it), so I’ve held out. I refuse to eat Aunt Jemimah’s and anyone (especially from New England) who eats that sludge…
Lemon Poppy Seed Scones
These Lemon Poppy Seed Scones are the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. They pair wonderfully with a cup of tea or coffee! This recipe was inspired by a new food to hit my kitchen, that I’ve never really used or cooked with before: poppy seeds! More interesting than the recipe, though, is how these…
Andi’s ‘Kini Bread
Nick’s 4-year-old cousin Andi sent me this recipe (via Aunt Diane). Since I love any kind of quick bread– zucchini, banana, pumpkin— I had to try it. Aunt Diane warned that I might have to “health it up” since it’s full of butter and sugar. I changed the recipe a tiny bit: cut out 1/4…
Cherry Berry Scones
One of my best friends, Erin, recently started a blog! She was always making delicious food and I kept pressuring her to start one… it finally worked! I’m pumped because I love being able to keep up with everything my friends are doing, but I also love finding new recipes! So of course I decided…
