Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole

The tater tot base in this recipe gives this breakfast casserole a little something extra.  I have seen many recipes floating around similar to this.  This is a spin off the one from Ree Drummond’s cookbook The New Frontier page 42.  We are using green onions instead of yellow onion here, excluding the cayenne pepper,…

Tater Tot Breakfast Muffins

You know me.  I’m always looking for new ways to make breakfast the night before so I can throw it in the oven while we are getting ready to face the day.  On this particular early Sunday morning, my husband and I were chatting over a cup of coffee.  Our littlest was running around playing…

Air Fryer Donuts

The kids were super excited when I said we would be having donuts for breakfast and then confused when I said we weren’t going to the store to pick them up.  These are ridiculously easy and so tasty!  I’m sure the tastiness factor increases with the level of butter used to help the cinnamon sugar…

Resurrection Rolls for Easter

Here’s a super fun Easter baking activity to do with the kids.  I explained to Emily what we were going to do and she gave me a skeptical look and said:  “So… you’re saying that Jesus is a marshmallow?” And so… we talked through it again.  🙂    The marshmallow represents Jesus.  After he died…

Cinnamon Swirl Banana Muffins

We had some super ripe bananas to use up and I was looking to try something new for breakfast.  These were pretty good.  Next time I would put more of the cinnamon/sugar swirl in the middle layer and on top. There was plenty leftover and I wish we could have seen the swirl layer in…

Baked Chicken Chile Rellenos

So… this was supposed to stuffed poblano peppers but I broke 2 out of the 4 peppers when I was peeling them in too big of a hurry.  What happened instead was a very yummy surprise.   Let’s Get Crafty! Preheat oven to 500 Rub olive oil on poblano peppers and broil on a baking sheet…

Baked Oatmeal

We eat a lot of oatmeal in our house.  I should probably rephrase that – the ladies in our household really like oatmeal and eat it frequently.  The gentlemen do not.  🙂   Although… Mark had some on his recent hunting trip to Alaska out of necessity and I think he might admit now that he…

Chile Relleno Casserole

Fall time is in the air and chiles are reaching their prime.  This recipe is packed with green chile flavor.  The big discussion in our house each year about this time is whether or not the chiles will be hot.  I really like hot food but a chile full of flavor means more to me…

Blueberry Muffins Trick

Hi there!  Do you love blueberry muffins but feel like there just aren’t enough blueberries?  I do.  Emily is my little fruit eater and loves them too.  This isn’t a recipe as much as a fun little trick to add some freshness to your muffins when you see blueberries on sale for 4 for $10. …

Slow Cooker Breakfast Casserole

I’m late posting this but I wanted to be sure to share the recipe because we loved it and I’m sure we’ll be making it again. We made this as a part of the brunch we had back at our house to celebrate after Haley’s baptism.  It worked out nicely that it could fit different…
