Blueberry Pancakes
Is there anything better than pancakes smothered in maple syrup? Yes, when you add blueberries, fresh or frozen. Gene’s favorite 🙂

Flower Pot Dirt Cake
This is a fun cake to make with the kids. I did this with a couple of grandkids, Megan and Hunter, to give to their mom on Mother’s Day!
Broccoli and Cheese Soup
A recipe from Weight Watcher’s that my husband gave his approval to. It is not like Panera’s delicious soup but this recipe uses a lot more broccoli and has a lot less fat and salt.
Steel-cut Oatmeal with Bananas and Walnuts
I am not a big fan of oatmeal, but in a recent Weight Watcher’s meeting the leader talked about steel-cut oats. When I saw this slow cooker recipe that had the oats, bananas, and walnuts in it I gave it a try. I am hooked! Here is another recipe I have not tried yet but … Continue reading
French Toast Casserole Two Ways
We are fortunate to have a Great Harvest Bread Company near by where we can get all kinds of freshly baked bread.

Weight Watcher’s Fruit Smoothies Two Ways

Comment: If the smoothie is too thin, … Continue reading
Sour Cream Waffles
This is an excellent way to start off your morning, along with some bacon, fresh fruit, a hot cup of coffee and always some good maple syrup.
Salami and Monterey Jack Cheese Brunch Casserole
Any time I can prepare a dish ahead of time is always a good thing for me. Especially preparing something the night before that you can pop in the oven the next morning. Very good brunch recipe; see also Company Brunch, Tex Mex Sausage and Egg Brunch, and St. Patrick’s Day Casserole.
Weight Watcher’s Fried Rice
This is a good recipe without the eggs. The idea of rice and some vegetables mixed in is how I prefer my fried rice. I have two rice cookers (see my post Kitchen Gadget – Rice Cookers and Kitchen Gadgets – Breville The Risotto Plus) and I make a bunch of rice and then freeze what I do … Continue reading
Applesauce From Scratch
This is probably one of my oldest recipes (as I adapted it from my Grandmother). Dad said I should add some sugar but I never felt I needed it. There is nothing else in this recipe but apples and their skins; no sugar or spices. It does take a long time to cook, but worth every … Continue reading
