Breakfast

If you’ve been following along for a week, a month, a year or all ten years I’ve had this blog, then you know I love cheese.  All the cheese – goat cheese, mozzarella, ricotta, burrata – the list goes on.  I am pretty sure there isn’t a cheese I don’t love. So I was THRILLED when Alouette Cheese reached out to me and asked if...

These banana tumeric muffins are so good - 5 smart points and worth every point!

I have a slight infatuation with all things bread! These 4 point biscuits are the perfect base for a breakfast sammie.

I made the ultimate breakfast pizza!  You all know how much I love my pizza.  I am thrilled that so many people are loving my skinny pizza dough – it’s just a few additional ingredients to the @ww 2 ingredient dough that’s been going around the interwebs since Greek yogurt is “free” on their new Wellness Works program.   One of my Instagram friends Wendy (wwg4life)...

Ever since we went apple picking in early September, it’s been “what else can I make with apples!”  And I am not sad about it.  I’ve literally had an apple a day (at least!) since then.  Instead of drinking wine and potato chips on the train ride home, I am eating an apple!  Go me!     This is a honeycrisp apple – I don’t know...

On Sunday morning, since I had the whole house to myself because my roommates spent the night in the city, I literally cooked from about 8 a.m. in the morning until 3:00 p.m. in the afternoon.  It was awesome!  I was determined to do a fridge/pantry/freezer meal plan this week because I knew I had plenty of food to eat, and it does make you...

I made muffins over the weekend. Not just any muffins – apple coffee cake muffins!  OMG, these are hands down the best muffins I have ever made.  They taste just like coffee cake to me.   I made a batch on Friday night to take to my bosses daughters field hockey game on Saturday for them to take home.  I have a 9 muffin holder so...

Copycat Starbucks Vanilla Bean Scones Recipe This copycat Starbucks Vanilla Bean scones recipe will be your go to recipe when making scones. My daughter and her husband are obsessed with Starbucks and typically go at least once, if not twice a day.   They love the vanilla bean scones. Hannah texted me and said “Iowa Girl Eats has a good looking recipe.” I’ve “known” Kristin for...

I’m not mad about still having about 10 pounds of apples.  The only thing I was mad about this weekend was our temperatures – in the mid 80s!  That didn’t prevent me from heating my stove to 425 degrees to make these oatmeal crunch apple scones.  I have to give credit to my girl Jessica from How Sweet Eats for the inspiration on this one. ...

The night before last as I was scrolling through Instagram before calling it a night, I saw Jennifer from The Lemon Apron post these everything bacon apple breakfast biscuits, and I was pissed that I didn’t see the recipe earlier because I had everything to make them.  Look at how gorgeous they look!! Flakey, crunchy crust, tender on the inside, salty, sweet from the apple. ...
