A couple weekends ago Benzo, Jack and I went over to Movie Mom's house for brunch after church. I love to make brunch with family. There's just something about being in the kitchen whipping up delicious food with the ones you love. It's cozy and comforting. Our menu included: Vegetable Egg Casserole (see below) Blueberry… Continue reading Spinach & Red Pepper Egg Casserole

Biscuits & Gravy
A couple weekends ago I was up early before anyone else was awake and decided to make biscuits and gravy. I had been saving two apple-sage Field Roast sausages specifically for this purpose. First the biscuits: The recipe is a pretty standard biscuit recipe using Earth Balance and soy milk to make them dairy-free. This was the… Continue reading Biscuits & Gravy
Mothers’ Day
My Mothers' Day celebrations started out on Saturday night. Benzo and I met up with Movie Mom and my brother at the Olive Garden. We had a lovely dinner. I gave my mom a pretty flowering plant and my brother gave me a "soon-to-be mom" card, which was sweet of him. It had been awhile… Continue reading Mothers’ Day
Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins
I don't usually make up my own recipes. There are far too many good ones out there written by other people, and to be honest I'm not that creative. People think I'm creative because I make stuff all the time, but really I'm just following other people's instructions. My Type A personality is happy that… Continue reading Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins

If you didn't catch that post, monuts… Continue reading Monuts Take Two: Chocolate
Oatmeal Cranberry Walnut “Cookies”
When I set out to make these cookies last night, I did not intend to loop this post back to breakfast again. Yet that seems to be what happened. Last night after a nutritious dinner of cereal 😉 Benzo and I were lounging around watching American Idol when we both really wanted something sweet. I've had… Continue reading Oatmeal Cranberry Walnut “Cookies”
Banana Granola Pancakes
These might be the best pancakes I have ever made. That's a bold statement but just wait until you see them. The inspiration for these pancakes came from a restaurant called First Watch. We have several locations in Kansas City and the restaurants are located in many other states as well. They serve breakfast and lunch… Continue reading Banana Granola Pancakes
Homemade Egg McMuffin
Good morning world! I am at home this morning because I took the day off today. And since Monday is a holiday that means I have a glorious 4 day weekend stretching out ahead of me. Vacation days are so wonderful. Even though I could've slept in, I still got up with Benzo (he still… Continue reading Homemade Egg McMuffin
Monuts: The Muffin Donut
I love donuts. I could eat a donut everyday. I love going to the donut shop and seeing all the pretty donuts lined up in the glass case. My love for donuts might be amplified right now by my pregnancy, but even before I still loved them. I like to try all the different donut… Continue reading Monuts: The Muffin Donut
Maple Almond Granola
I have no idea what day it is. Two days at home this week has really thrown off my internal clock. All day I kept thinking it was Monday. I suppose I should be happy that it's Thursday and not Monday because that means tomorrow is Friday. It is also jeans day which is an… Continue reading Maple Almond Granola
