Apple Bacon Cheddar Frittata (Whole Family Cookbook)

2011-03-28_ABCFrittata-250px

Frittatas are one of my favorites for quick and easy meals throughout the week. With all of the frittatas I’ve made over the years (lots and lots of them!), I have never thought to add fruit. Fortunately, my good friend Michelle over at What’s Cooking with Kids is a bit more creative than I am! In her new…

Chicken Sausage and Egg Casserole

2010-10-27_SausageCasserole-250px

Remember how I said I have been lacking cooking inspiration in the kitchen lately? It seems that my lack of inspiration has also extended itself to blogging. Do not fear… I go through these stages periodically. I find that the best way to get through it is to just push on through and keep writing. So, that’s exactly what I’m doing.

I have a funny thing about food textures. Many of the foods that I’m not too fond of are those that have a texture that I don’t like (mushy cereal, for example)… It has very little to do with the flavor. So, due to my hatred of mushy and soggy things, I have avoided egg and sausage casseroles for years. The thought of bread soaking in eggs and milk just didn’t sound appetizing to me.

A few weeks ago, though, I had some stale bread on hand and for some reason I was feeling especially brave. I decided to tackle the dreaded egg and sausage casserole since I know it is such a popular holiday dish (and I was also lacking cooking inspiration at the time). When all was said and done, it turned out to be pretty tasty. In fact, it was tasty enough that I made it again last week and even took the time to take a few pictures and keep track of the recipe.

Cranberry Pomegranate Ebelskivers

A few weeks ago, I was happily surprised to receive a package from my lovely friends over at POM Wonderful.  They have a new pomegranate juice flavor this fall, and they were kind enough to send a few bottles in my direction so that I could give it a try.  The new flavor? Pomegranate Cranberry!…

Cranberry Relish… Not Just for Thanksgiving!

You’re probably thinking that I’ve lost it… “What is she doing posting cranberry relish in February?!” Well, I’m posting my cranberry relish recipe because it’s a part of one of my favorite #10in10 breakfasts.  You see, when I started the #10in10 challenge a few weeks ago, I still had some cranberry relish hanging out in…

Apple Filled Pancakes

You are probably looking at this post thinking, “I though she’s participating in the Ten in 10 challenge…” And yes, I am. Or maybe, “Those pancakes can’t possibly be healthy.” Well, they aren’t nearly as bad as you think!  They aren’t the yogurt that I typically eat for breakfast, but these apple filled pancakes are…

Pumpkin Cranberry Apple Baked Oatmeal

We had a few chilly mornings last week which got me thinking about baked oatmeal.  It’s kind of strange that I immediately wanted baked oatmeal, though, because I’ve never been much of an oatmeal eater – baked or not.  It just sounded like a nice warm treat after my early morning walks with our yellow…

Reeni’s Lime Banana Coconut Cake and Q&A

Sit down…  Have a slice of cake! Believe me, you need to try this delicious Lime Banana Coconut Cake from Reeni @ Cinnamon Spice & Everything Nice.  I hosted the Blogger Secret Ingredient challenge two weeks ago, and Reeni’s cake was the winning recipe. In addition to some cute prep bowls and a lime colored…

Breakfast for Dinner – Part 2

As I mentioned in my previous post, last night I made breakfast for dinner.  To accompany my ham and asparagus frittata, I made some whole wheat cinnamon rolls.  These cinnamon rolls are also adapted from a recipe from my Cooking Light cookbook.  The first time I made the rolls, I followed the recipe as it…

Breakfast for Dinner – Part 1

This evening I decided to make breakfast for dinner.  Earlier in the week, I was paging through my Cooking Light cookbook, and I came across a recipe for a Ham and Asparagus Frittata.  I already had both ham and asparagus in the refrigerator, so I decided to give it a try. Originally, I didn’t really…
