At my place there are a lot of nights where breakfast becomes dinner. Between having breakfast for breakfast, and breakfast for dinner, we tend to go through a lot of maple syrup. I wanted to try out a homemade syrup recipe, just a basic Maple to start. It turned out great and it was very simple to make. I’m willing to bet that some of you have the majority of the ingredients in your pantry like I did. No candy thermometers necessary, just stir continuously…
Have you ever had a delicious Strawberry Banana Smoothie? I took inspiration from that and created this tasty recipe for Strawberry Banana Bread. To up the yum factor, try toasting this in a toaster oven or in a skillet with just a dab of butter. Strawberry Banana Bread Makes one loaf 1/2 cup butter 2 eggs 3 large very ripe bananas 1 1/2 tablespoons sour cream or 1 1/2 tablespoons buttermilk 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice 1 cup sugar 2 cups flour 1/2 teaspoon baking…
Quiche tends to get a bad wrap. Heck, even I wasn’t a fan of quiche, until I tried this recipe. Imagine a flavorful, creamy quiche filled with small pockets of cream cheese, bacon and Swiss. To describe it in one word: Heavenly. I have made this recipe, no joke, about 1-2 times a month for the past few months. I think I may be addicted. If you think you can handle the temptation, this would be a perfect dish to take for an Easter brunch…

Fortunately, Quaker has created a genius tool for this dilemma called the Breakfast Building Tool. The Quaker Breakfast Solutions page has a nifty breakfast builder where users can customize their families…
Breakfast is always a challenge here before school, so I thought I’d start the day out with a little Valentine’s Day surprise! I used regular pancake mix and mixed in a few drops of NEON food coloring. (McCormick) I then poured the batter into a ziplock bag and cut off a corner so I could squeeze out the batter into a heart shape. You could just make round pancakes and use a cookie cutter as well. I was happy with colored heart pancakes, but then…
If you are like me and have tried more than a few bundt cake recipes, you may be looking for something different. This is a recipe I’m willing to bet most people haven’t tried before, which is a shame. If you are feeling ambitious, add orange zest to either the cake or the glaze for a delicious zip of flavor. Pumpkin Orange Poppy Seed Cake Makes one cake Cake: 1 package yellow cake mix (chocolate would probably also be great!) 1 15oz. can Libby’s 100%…
