Oooooh Baby, Baby… Yummy Dutch Babies…

Please tell me you sang that title as you read it? I was first introduced to German pancakes at my last baby shower, so making the mini version, aka “Dutch Babies” just seemed fitting. This delectable pancake is almost like a thicker version of my favorite pancake the French crepe. Ingredients: 6 eggs 1/4 cup butter, melted…

Peppers ‘n Eggs

We eat eggs daily around here, and sometimes the two options of scrambled or fried gets a little old. I like to try to change it up a bit with veggies, but don’t have the time to plate omelets or whip up a quiche for 5 when we’re rushing to get out the door every morning.…

Heavenly Mac N Cheese

Who didn’t love macaroni and cheese growing up? The ooey gooey, warm, cheesy goodness that many of us looked forward to as an after school snack. I still grab a bowl when I make it for my kiddos.

Blackberry Peach Preserves

Recently, blackberries were .88 a carton, so naturally I grabbed as many as my hands could hold. We’ve been eating them with yogurt, oatmeal, fresh out of the carton… we were blackberried out… but we still had a few left that I didn’t want to go to waste. I checked my freezer and noticed I…

Egg in a Basket

Growing up, this was one of my favorite breakfast dishes. This must be a Southern thing, because when I moved to California, and mentioned this breakfast to my roommates, they all looked at me crazy! But as soon as I made it, they all fell in love, and constantly asked me to make this again…

Coconut Donut Holes

Sometimes, we just need a donut. Hot little puffs of sweet perfection. Mmmmmmm. I like donut holes because they’re more portable and I like to tell myself I’m consuming less calories than I would be eating an entire donut. Ha ha ha. My kids love them as well. So, one day after school I came up…

Oats to Go

Overnight oatmeal has become a popular breakfast choice as of late. I’m not much of an oatmeal fan, but I thought if it’s so popular, it must be good, so I gave this it a try. I’m glad I did! It’s simple, easy and can be made in bulk batches to eat throughout the week. I…

Eggplant Rigatoni Pasta Bake

I was at the store, stumped on what to make for dinners this week. I feel like I’ve tried a ton of different things from Pinterest, and my family is somewhat bored of the same things on repeat. Luckily, I found a ‘yummy – sounding’ eggplant spread at Trader Joe’s and thought “hmmmm, this might…
