Breakfast

I love making Jimmy Dean’s sausage breakfast casserole – its so easy and delicious.  I don’t let mine sit overnight, but you certainly can.  It was funny because Hannah’s bedroom is right off the kitchen.  She said she could hear me start to brown the sausage and had a thought to get up and help me, but then decided if she fell back asleep when...

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...

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...

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. 😀 Long time readers know that I typically steer towards eggs/savory breakfasts.  I thought I would...

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...

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. 😀  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...

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.  😀 I am really starting to like sweet potatoes, and while I am still on...

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...

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. ...

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! 😀 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...
