On mornings we can afford to slow our roll, I’ve taken to making the kids french toast. Leo crushes it and Tessa is quite a fan as well, taking 20 minutes to eat her breakfast instead of her standard 45 (she’s the chattiest of Cathys).
Big Batch Glazed Cranberry Orange Scones
I just love scones – and apparently I really love cranberry orange scones. I think there are four different versions on my site. This particular version is a favorite because it makes 16 decent sized scones; when I was having 6 women over in the afternoon I knew I’d have enough for anyone to...
Pumpkin Waffles
Waffles. I used to crush the multigrain Eggos, three at a time with butter and maple syrup, but the Belgian waffles on menus were never my thing. I couldn’t get the butter into those giant crevices the way I wanted to and then I found the waffle itself to be all air, no substance....
Morning Glory Baked Oatmeal
I’ve done a Thursday morning Bible study at my church since resigning from teaching, and it’s the best, for so many reasons. One of the reasons (okay, it’s a small reason compared to the other ones) is that there’s a breakfast snack table. I love me a buffet. Every week a different group is...
Easy Cinnamon Raisin Bread
I was recently talking to someone who admitted, as I suspect many of you feel, that recipes requiring the use of yeast are a total no-go. Yeast is scary, or I guess I should say I get why you might think yeast is scary. In reality, yeast is awesome and overcoming your fear is...
Gluten Free Cranberry Orange Breakfast Cookies
I get a bit frenzied at the end of my pregnancies. I nest in that I would like things to be clean, but I take it a whole lot farther. I want to do things “ahead” to make it easier for when the baby comes. This means meals, gifts to be bought, cards to...
Cream Cheese Glazed Cinnamon Rolls
Really, why mess with a good thing? These rolls are basic – a simple, tender dough rolled up with brown sugar and (lots of) cinnamon. They’re smothered with a thick cream cheese frosting. It’s tangy rather than sickly sweet, so it pairs perfectly with the sweet rolls.
Honey Whole Wheat English Muffins
We used to make English muffins in my “leavening agents” unit with level two cooking. I loved introducing the concept because the kids were all “you can make English muffins?”. You can, they’re fun, and really, really delicious.
Apple Walnut Muffins
In level 1 cooking one of the first things we talked about was how to understand a recipe. See, the thing is, if you understand how to read a recipe and how to do what the recipe tells you, you can cook. This muffin recipe supports and exemplifies that statement – let me explain.
Praline Bacon
There’s really only one way to improve on thick cut bacon, and that would probably be putting sugar on it.
