Breakfast

You must put these banana bread pancakes on the top of your list to meal prep this week.  So delicious! For whatever reason lately, once I buy bananas, if I don’t eat any the day I buy them, the next day they are basically ready to use as banana bread.  When my son-in-law lived here, I made so many things with bananas because Hannah wouldn’t...

Vegan Pancake Recipe These vegan protein pancakes are the best pancakes I’ve ever made!

Once I posted these on Instagram, the question I got most was “I don’t have mini loaf pans – can I make it into a bigger loaf?”  I have no idea – I actually don’t think it would be enough to fill a regular loaf pan.  These mini loaf...

Potato and Sausage Frittata This potato and sausage frittata is a great meal prep recipe AND a great way to use up veggies at the end of the week. Do you make a frittata in the oven or on the stovetop? You can do either method, but I prefer the oven method.  It’s kind of like “set it and forget it.”  I used baby spinach...

Waking up this Sunday morning I had a taste for both pancakes and muffins.  So I decided to make banana pumpkin pancake muffins! How do you get muffin tops?
