Bite Sized Brunch #Recipe and #Giveaway

April 19, 2012 By 171 Comments

Land O LakesWith Mother’s Day coming up, it’s time to start thinking brunches. What’s better than a Bite-Sized Brunch? Land-O-Lakesasked me to share with you a bite-sized egg recipe. Before I give you mine, here are three ideas that they gave me to use.

  1. Bacon-Topped Deviled Eggs
  2. Breakfast Biscuit Bakes
  3. Mini Mexi Bites

They all sounded good, but I wanted to give you something simple and quick to make. Here’s a little “Did you know?” about Land-O-Lakes Eggs:

There are four varieties of all-natural eggs offered under the LAND O LAKES brand: Farm-Fresh All-Natural Eggs, Cage-Free All-Natural Eggs, All-Natural Eggs with 160 mg ALA Omega 3 and Organic All-Natural Eggs. All varieties are produced by hens fed a premium vegetarian, whole-grain diet.

We tend to use Organic Brown eggs in our house now. We even dyed brown eggs for Easter. Speaking of Easter, you can use dyed deviled eggs as a bite-sized brunch item for your spread for Mother’s Day, as well. There are so many fun ways to make bite-sized items. I’ve always had a thing for mini foods and mini toys, so this was a fun recipe to pull together.

Ok, I’m going to share my simple bacon and cheese bite-sized eggs recipe with you and then below it will be a giveaway to win a very fun prize pack from Land-O-Lakes.

Biscuit Bowls with Eggs and Sausage Gravy #Recipe

January 28, 2012 By 2 Comments

I originally started off this morning making Cat’s sausage gravy recipe with her idea of biscuit bowls. I got the sausage going and all of a sudden my husband took over my kitchen! I got all the ingredients ready and he made the gravy. He decided to experiment and add half and half and brown sugar to Cat’s recipe. It turned out REALLY good! You can always leave out the eggs and and just make biscuits and gravy bowls, which are just as awesome! It almost reminds me of the Bob Evans Sunshine Skillet. Only thing missing is the home fries.

Apple Cream Cheese Bread #Recipe

January 21, 2012 By 7 Comments

I have no idea where I got this recipe. It’s in my notebook of recipes I’ve hand copied down. If it’s yours, please let me know and I’ll give you credit! If you have two hours to get this made and cooled, it’s a yummy Saturday morning breakfast. I planned it for last Saturday but didn’t have enough time to get it made because I went grocery shopping first thing and spent way too much time at the store. I ended up still making it on Saturday and we had it for breakfast Sunday morning with some fruit. A nice quick meal (once it’s made) for days when you have to be out the door quickly.

Caramel French Toast #Recipe

January 10, 2012 By 6 Comments
Recipe, Breakfast, CasseroleWow! This one was a winner! The boys each had thirds! Normally with a breakfast casserole I’m left with a lot of leftovers. Not this time! Surprisingly the bread turned out perfect. Nice and soft on the inside with just a little bit of crunch on top. The caramel is awesome and makes it so you have no need for syrup. I found this recipe while I was stumbling and pinning. This recipe comes from eat.drink.smile. She said to bake for 50 minutes. For some reason I had to do 15 minutes more. The egg mixture wasn’t completely set for me.

  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Strawberry Muffin #Recipe

January 1, 2012 By 6 Comments

Recipe, fresh strawberriesThis morning I woke up and wanted to start the new year with fresh, from scratch muffins. I had a bunch of fruit leftover from my New Year’s Eve “Party” so I looked to see what I had the most of. It turns out I had strawberries. I’ve never made from scratch muffins before, besides apple, so I had no idea where to start. I did a quick Google search on my phone for strawberry muffins and came across this recipe from A Recipe A Day. It looked simple, yummy, and best of all I had all the ingredients without running to the store! To make it even more amazing that I made these muffins from scratch, I didn’t pull out my mixer, so I even mixed everything by hand! Her recipe calls for mixing together cinnamon and sugar to top the muffins. I already had the store bought mixture, so I just sprinkled some of that on top. I don’t think I used enough, and next time I’ll definitely add more. Here’s her recipe:
