Simple Food. Good Ideas. Great Fun.
My dad was the fried mush fan in my family. He had fond memories of eating it when he was young, during the Great Depression. Apparently, his grandmother often made it for him for breakfast. My grandmothers and mom were not as enthusiastic about it, so we did not have it often. In fact, when […]
My favorite Raisin Bran cereal has always been made by Post. A few months ago, it was impossible for me to purchase for a while. When it was finally available again, it was not the same. The flakes in the boxes I purchased were much thicker than I ever remember. It turns out I am […]
My dad loved Bear Claw pastries. He bought them whenever he could. I even witnessed him choose a Bear Claw over chocolate, which he could eat by the pound. However, I vividly remember my dad’s shock when he learned he learned that Bear Claw pastries were filled with an almond paste mixture. Although it was […]
Muffins are my “go to” when it comes to travelling breakfast foods. I like to make them when we are leaving early to go to an event or on a trip. Yes, some muffins have been called out for excessive calories and sodium. However, muffins can be relatively healthy and tasty when you make your […]
While light, airy Belgian waffles that fill breakfast plates across the United States are very tasty, they are not my favorite of the Belgian waffles. Yes, there are actually two different types of Belgium waffles in the world. The light, airy one is often referred to as a Brussels waffle. The other smaller, sugar-laden type […]

Whether for a Mother’s Day breakfast in bed, a weekend brunch, or a ladies lunch, a quiche is a great and rather elegant egg option because it does not have to be served immediately and piping hot to be good. Best of all, it can be easy to make. This quiche recipe has less than […]
Baking eggs in muffin cups is such a simple concept that I just wonder why I did not know about it earlier. This technique uses little to no fat and makes an egg that can be a perfect fit for an English muffin or a Southern biscuit. Baked eggs are a great way to go […]
There are so many different ways to make smoothies that appeal to different tastes that I debated whether I should write about we make smoothies at our house or just assume that the thousands of “recipes” out there are enough. As your reading this, you can see I finally decided to go with the former […]
This blueberry stuffed french toast casserole is really ideal for a larger family or when you have people visiting. The original recipe made a 9 X 13 pan, but as I modified it to fit a 9 or 10 inch square dish. The smaller version still made about 6 servings… I also only used cream […]
