Everywhere I look these days, all I see is pumpkin. Pumpkin pie, pumpkin pasta, pumpkin soup, even pumpkin oatmeal. It’s a lot… especially for someone who’s not a big pumpkin fan. I know… I know… I may be appalling some of my readers with that statement, but it’s true. I just don’t understand everyone’s fascination… Continue reading Pumpkin Cranberry Muffins

Spinach Dutch Baby
I’ve talked before about how much I love breakfast for dinner. Sometimes, there’s just nothing more comforting than a large stack of pancakes or French toast and sausage. But better than pancakes or French toast is a Dutch Baby, especially when it’s packed with vegetables. Never heard of a dutch baby? It’s a huge pancake… Continue reading Spinach Dutch Baby
Creamy Mushroom Dutch Baby
I love breakfast. If I could eat it for every meal, I would. But then I thought about it. Why couldn’t I eat breakfast for every meal? I mean, I could start with yogurt and granola and then I could have something egg-based for lunch and finish off with a savory pancake or waffle for… Continue reading Creamy Mushroom Dutch Baby
Ham & Cream Cheese Scramble
I love going out for breakfast. I usually get something off the griddle like pancakes or French toast, but every so often all I want is a big batch of scrambled eggs and bacon. It’s mornings like those that made me think of this delicious treat that’s easy to make and perfect for Mom on… Continue reading Ham & Cream Cheese Scramble
Cheerio Blueberry Parfait
Most mornings when I ask my boys what they want for breakfast they both respond “cereal with yogurt”. I know it sounds odd, but it’s what they want. And since breakfast is the most important meal of the day, I always oblige. While I usually prefer my cereal with a little milk, I tried my… Continue reading Cheerio Blueberry Parfait
Raspberry Rhubarb Muffins
If there are two fruits I look forward to all year it’s rhubarb and raspberries. While it’s true that you can get raspberries year-round, they’re at their freshest during the summer months. That’s when they’re sweetest and perfect for fruit salads, bars or cakes. The timing is perfect because it’s also when rhubarb is in… Continue reading Raspberry Rhubarb Muffins

When I think of Easter I think of jelly beans, dying Easter eggs, and lots and lots of chocolate. All these things are what the kids look forward to over the Easter weekend. But while they’re thinking about where they’re going to find their next plastic egg, I’m thinking about what to serve for either… Continue reading Bunny Tail Scones
Chocolate & Eggnog Breakfast Bread Pudding
As you all know one of my favorite holiday cocktails is eggnog. We always have it at Thanksgiving when my mom makes it to start off the holidays, then I make a batch for our annual holiday party and then one last batch for Christmas dinner. It’s always a big hit, but in all these… Continue reading Chocolate & Eggnog Breakfast Bread Pudding
Blueberry Blintzes
Since Mother’s Day is Sunday, I wanted to make something that my mom used to make me, and is special enough to make your mom on her special day. They’re blueberry blintzes. Every spring and summer when blueberries came in to season my mother and I would go to the farmer’s market and get baskets… Continue reading Blueberry Blintzes
Coconut Oatmeal with Dried Cherries
When I was growing up, every year for Mother’s Day my sister and I would wake up early and make breakfast for my mom, and ideally serve it to her in bed. Yes, it was usually something simple like cereal, but every so often we’d be adventurous and make pancakes. While my own children aren’t… Continue reading Coconut Oatmeal with Dried Cherries
Raspberry Breakfast Tarts
Growing up, breakfast was always either cereal, French toast or pancakes. On occasion Mom or Dad would whip up some eggs and bacon, especially on the weekends. But no matter what, breakfast was always homemade. While I loved everything my mom and dad made, as a kid, I always wanted the sugary stuff. See, I… Continue reading Raspberry Breakfast Tarts
