Several weeks ago, I shared my most favorite pancake recipe with you. While those pancakes do taste delicious, I recieved many requests for a yummy pancake recipe that was gluten-free.

So today, I’m sharing an extremely simple gluten-free recipe for banana chocolate chip pancakes… and they taste amazing!

One of my favorite desserts is cheesecake — however, I rarely have the necessary 4-5 packages of cream cheese in my refrigerator. So I’m always on the lookout for simple cheesecake-like recipes… and I’m excited to share one of my new favorites with you today.

Dave and I both give this simple recipe 2 thumbs up, and it’s SOOOO much easier than cheesecake!

If you’re looking for a simple, delicious, from-scratch pancake recipe your whole family will love… today is your lucky day!

This “Perfect Pancake” recipe is one of the many recipes I know by heart. I’ve literally made hundreds and hundreds of these pancakes over the past 6 years — and I can only imagine how many more I’ll make in the years to come!

I realize you might be thinking that Scrambled Egg Pizza sounds really… interesting (to put it nicely). But I promise that if you love eggs, you’ll LOVE this recipe.

As with all my recipes, you can mix and match ingredients to fit your family’s taste buds… and it’s actually a very frugal breakfast or dinner.

Fruit salad… in a slow cooker? Yes, you read that right — and it is one of my all-time favorite fruit salad recipes!

It’s so simple and uses mostly non-perishable canned fruits, so you can always keep the ingredients on hand for a last-minute side dish.

I have a new favorite breakfast recipe… and it’s really, really easy!
This quiche has a simple crescent roll dough crust and can be filled with any of your favorite veggies, meats, and cheeses. It only take about 30 – 45 minutes to make and I can almost guarantee it will be a hit with your family!

I made this for dinner one night last week and we finished off the leftovers for breakfast the next morning. YUM!

Thanks to my new meal planning method, we have breakfast for dinner once each week. We do this partially because we really like breakfast foods, but also because breakfast foods are great way to get lots of protein without spending money on expensive cuts of meat.

However, the one thing I don’t always like about breakfast foods is the inability to prepare them ahead of time — so I’m really excited to share this delicious slow cooker breakfast recipe with you today!

Dave and I love a good, hot, crispy English Muffin for breakfast; however, I refuse to buy them from the store because they rarely go on sale, and the regular price can be over $3.50 for 6 lousy {preservative filled} English Muffins.

Thankfully, my mother-in-law shared her recipe for English Muffin Bread with me and for the last few years, it has been our much tastier, much healthier, and much cheaper alternative to store bought English Muffins.

Earlier this week, I posted a recipe for homemade instant oatmeal packets. This is one of my weekday breakfast staples — especially on busy mornings when we’re rushing to get out the door. However, if you stop by our house on any given Saturday morning, you will most likely be greeted by the smell of fresh, warm pancakes, maple syrup, and hot coffee. We LOVE pancakes!! I have to confess though, when we first got married, I made pancakes from Bisquick mix. [...]

Since the back-to-school season is essentially here {yup, I know…summer’s almost over} I’ve been thinking more about quick, simple breakfast and lunch ideas that will help us transition into this busy time of year. Growing up, one of my favorite things to eat for breakfast was a warm bowl of oatmeal – and even on a hot, sticky summer morning, a bowl of brown sugar/cinnamon oatmeal still hits the spot! source: Since I normally don’t have a lot of extra [...]

Remember a couple weeks ago when I shared my recipe for really simple burritos… straight from the freezer? If you haven’t tried them yet, you should. They offer the convenience factor of store-bought frozen burritos, but taste a million times better and are WAY cheaper! Anyway, if you liked those burritos, then you’ll love the recipe I’m sharing today. It’s a very similar concept… just in the form of breakfast. Yup, we’re making Breakfast Burritos today! As with nearly all [...]

Remember my recipe for really simple, homemade bread? I posted it two weeks ago and raved about how quick and easy it was to make up a batch of bread dough, put it in the fridge, and then use it to bake fresh bread for the rest of the week. Well, it’s been two more weeks, and I’m still making nearly all of our bread, rolls, pizza crusts, etc. from scratch using the Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day [...]

A few weeks ago, I received a lovely email from Cindy, who wanted to share this delicious {and really simple} recipe for Blueberry Stuffed French Toast. And since we love stuffed French toast, and we love blueberry pancakes, I knew we would LOVE this recipe even before I tried it. Plus, the ingredients are so simple and it can be prepared the night before. Win, Win, WIN! INGREDIENTS: {print recipe} Serves 10 1 loaf of crusty bread — ripped into 1″ chunks [...]

Today is Day #2 of my 11 in 2011 Challenge — and I’m in the kitchen! A few months ago I mentioned how I save time in the kitchen by making double batches of meals and by using my monthly menu planners…but there are still so many days when I’m scrambling to quickly “throw something together” for dinner. I hate that feeling, don’t you? So, my “goal” for this year is to eat at least one meal a week from the freezer; [...]

One of my favorite baking ingredients is pumpkin puree — especially in the fall. I’m a lover of all things pumpkin — pumpkin pie, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin bread, pumpkin dips. I eat them all! I love pumpkin puree so much that I even tried {with much success} to grow pumpkins in my garden a few years ago. It was great, except that they took over half our back yard!  I may have gotten a little carried away… I’ve worked hard to [...]

We are huge fans of homemade granola over here. Mainly because the taste is far superior to store-bought granola, but also because the homemade version is cheaper, healthier, and did I say it was delicious? Win, win, win! The ingredients really couldn’t be any simpler; all you need are old fashioned oats (not quick oats), pure maple syrup, and whatever flavors you want to add. Here are the ingredients I use: {printable recipe} 4 1/2  c. uncooked oats 2 c. chopped nuts (I used [...]

Have you ever tried making your own yogurt? If you are like me…probably not! I was perfectly content to purchase my store-bought yogurt and I figured homemade yogurt would be too difficult to make — and it can be. However, about a month ago, I came across a recipe for making yogurt  in a slow cooker. It didn’t seem nearly as time-intensive or overwhelming so I figured I would give it a try. Now I’m hooked! The recipe below makes an entire [...]
