If you’re not from the South or have relatives from here, you may have not heard of chocolate and biscuits. It’s sweet, delicious, dangerous, and leaves chocoholics wanting more. A true Southern delicacy. Forget Nutella on croissants–this puts that to shame! Start breakfast off right by popping the biscuits in the oven to cook and start some sausage on the stove. Biscuits are best homemade, but I’ll let you in on a secret. Pillsbury’s Southern style buttermilk biscuits are easy {Read More}
If you’re looking for a delicious snack that everyone will love, look no further! These homemade granola bars are a fantastic alternative to the store-bought variety which are packed with preservatives. Plus, the recipe can be adjusted very easily to accommodate taste and/or supply. Add in toasted coconut, dates, almonds or other mini m&ms! The recipe is super simple and quick to throw together. The hardest part is waiting for them to cool — I wanted to eat them right {Read More}
Two years ago I started baking my own bread, and my concept of a healthy meal changed radically. I realized that my family was eating a whole lot of processed food, and I began to think about replacing more than just our white bread. One of the last bastions to fall has been our cold cereal breakfasts. I am not a morning person, so my quest to “reinvent breakfast” had to fit the following criteria: it had to be simple, {Read More}
I love this recipe for the sheer fact that it’s brilliance. Muffins in a healthy form! I originally got this recipe from Pinterest, but added a couple different ingredients. This recipe is so simple, quick, and perfect for the single lady or the mom looking for a quick breakfast. Healthy Strawberry Muffins Makes 10 muffins 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, I used whole wheat flour 2 Tablespoons ground flax seed ½ teaspoon baking soda ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon ¼ cup {Read More}
When the clock says it is almost dinner time and I haven’t even formulated a plan about what we should eat yet, I turn to something quick, tried, true, and simple. Although it may sound grand, our British Tea Party menu is a family favorite that I can pull together in about 30 minutes, working quickly. I preheat the oven to 400 F, set a pan of eggs on the stove to hard boil, get the tea things ready, and {Read More}
Our family recently discovered Kefir in our search for better breakfasts. My husband and I used to drink it when we lived in Eastern Europe, so I recognized the taste even though I didn’t recognize the name. Kefir is known to be one of the top 10 superfoods. It is a natural, highly effective probiotic. Traditional Kefir contains more probiotic “friendly bacteria” than yogurt, and its bacteria are able to colonize in the gut, making it far superior to {Read More}
For those of you with more than one child, you know the feeling of success when all the children pronounce a recipe a keeper. Puffy German Pancake is that recipe in my home. A favorite breakfast request, it is fast, simple, and of course economical to put together. It’s a favorite recipe across the internet with all kinds of names—and I have no clue whether it is an actual German recipe or not. I did read where it can be {Read More}

Good Monday Morning… I love my crockpot, and especially in the summer… it is great for not heating up my kitchen and for being able to enjoy summer plans and still come home to a nice dinner with little or no work. If you love to host breakfast or brunch (my favorite) this is an easy, crowd pleasing recipe… Crock {Read More}
My grandma and mom have used this recipe and now I use it in my home. Heat griddle to 350 degrees. In a medium mixing bowl, add together 2 cups of Bisquick, 2 eggs, and 1 cup of milk. I use a whisk to mix, eliminating any lumps from the batter. Pour batter on the griddle in circles about the size of the palm of your hand. Let cook on one side for two to three minutes. Flip the pancake over, {Read More}
We all know any recipe that includes a bag of Hershey Kisses is going to be a keeper. This is one of those recipes. I’ve had it so long I’ve forgotten exactly who gave it to me although I know it was a co-worker years ago. When I brought it out earlier in the month and made it for breakfast my kids just about had a fit (that’s Southern for real excited). It was their first time to eat a {Read More}
