Winners! Super Crunchy Granola

Winners!  Super Crunchy Granola
Hope everyone is set for Christmas by now!  This year is a weird one for me – no one is coming over, Tony is still eating bland food and its weird not to be spending most of the day in my kitchen making a big feast!  Pretty sure I am not going to be making a crown roast for one, so I may just have...

Sunday Morning Pancakes

Sunday Morning Pancakes
My one goal yesterday was to get my holiday gift baskets out to family.  I spent a couple hours each night last week making different things – cranberry and nut brittle, Chex Mix, white chocolate and cranberry cookies, and chocolate snowball cookies. My dining room table looked like an assembly line with plastic containers of baked goods – my goal was to pack up all...

Paleo Almond Pancakes with Strawberry Coconut Syrup

Paleo Almond Pancakes with Strawberry Coconut Syrup
Thanks for all your continued support as I complete Day 3 of the Paleo diet.  I think I successfully raised my carbs enough to meet the RDA minimum for diabetics.  While I know Rich believes that this diet benefits diabetics, I still need to do what works for me. šŸ˜€ Long time readers know that I typically steer towards eggs/savory breakfasts.  I thought I would...

Potato Crust Quiche and Pumpkin Chili Mac . . . Soup?

Potato Crust Quiche and Pumpkin Chili Mac . . . Soup?
I was an okay student.  If I really put my mind to something, like a project, I would give it 110%.  Daily homework however, hardly happened, or maybe happened the morning it was due.  I think I graduated high school with a 2.9 – enough to get me into college, but probably barely. Which is why I don’t know where my daughter gets her school...

Popcorn Flour Pancakes and Weekly Holiday Challenge Update

Popcorn Flour Pancakes and Weekly Holiday Challenge Update
I don’t even know where Tony heard of this recipe, but this one is a winner.  And it was nice to just sit back and have breakfast made for me. šŸ˜€  And these are perfect if you are following a gluten free diet. Popcorn Flour Pancakes (haven’t figured out the points yet!) 4 tablespoons butter 2 teaspoons baking powder 3 cups popcorn flour 1/2 teaspoon...

Sweet Potato Buttermilk Pancakes

Sweet Potato Buttermilk Pancakes
Thanks for all your kind comments to yesterday’s post – you guys are the best and have some great ideas.  I agree with a fresh mouthwashed mouth I’ll have less temptation to mess it up – and have deemed the bedroom a beverage and food free zone, except for water.  šŸ˜€ I am really starting to like sweet potatoes, and while I am still on...

Sweet Potato Hash and Weekly WI

Sweet Potato Hash and Weekly WI
When Tony and I went out to eat the other night I got sweet potato fries.  I didn’t eat them all and was going to just leave them on the plate until Tony said “can’t you make a sweet potato hash with those?” Genius.  This breakfast was so good!  Slightly sweet, savory . . . yum! Sweet Potato Hash (serves 1 for 8 WW points...

Breakfast Calzone and Pasta Fagioli

Breakfast Calzone and Pasta Fagioli
I love sleep.  So after sleeping in until 10:00 and 10:30 respectively over the weekend, let’s just say the only thing that made me get out of bed at a decent hour was that I wanted to make a breakfast calzone for breakfast. I had leftover pizza dough from a while back – I almost like the dough better the longer it sits in the fridge. ...

Banana and Granola Pancakes

Banana and Granola Pancakes
I think these are my new favorite pancakes.  They are light, fluffy, slightly sweet, crunchy.  Thanks Jenn for the idea of these!  And if I ever find myself in Seattle – we are definitely getting together! šŸ˜€ I kinda just made these up with what I had on hand.  I had buttermilk, so I decided to make banana, granola buttermilk pancakes.  Each pancake is 3...
