Krispy Kreme Monkey Bread

June 1st was National Donut Day  and I recently read that Krispy Kreme turned 75 on May 24, 2012.  You need to get them as fresh as possible.  A favorite donut of Gene’s and I knew he would love this recipe. Hard to believe that Kroger and Meijer no longer carry these donuts and I could only buy … Continue reading

Corned Beef Hash Three Ways

I like to serve this for breakfast or as a light dinner with a salad.  Homemade is so much tastier than what you get in a can.  Before my husband met me that was how he fixed his corned beef – straight from a can!   This recipe comes from Weight Watcher’s and if my husband liked it, it … Continue reading

St. Patrick’s Day Breakfast Casserole

Yes, I do like my “get ready the day before casseroles” and this breakfast treat is a way to use up that leftover corned beef.  The crunchy topping is a nice change from having the bread on the bottom. I added more toasted rye bread when I made it again – gave the casserole a … Continue reading

Elephant Ears

Cooking something fun and different was always a “must” when the kids came to visit.  Elephant ears or Funnel Cakes are always a big hit at state fairs, church festivals and amusement parks. We made this fried cake at home for Valentine’s Day one year.  I know someone was very happy!

Quiche Lorraine

Quiche is a good comfort food for breakfast to get your weekend off to a good start.  There are many varieties of quiche and this is the traditional one.  Serve with fresh fruit, some homemade muffins and a cup of coffee, or maybe some hot chocolate.     

Blueberry Sauce Three Ways

Blueberries just happen to be one of the best fruits to cook with, at least for me.  You can use this sauce over ice cream, pound cake or see Cheese Blintzes with a Blueberry Sauce. Yum – served over pound cake!

Cheese Blintzes With a Blueberry Sauce

I remember the first time I made these was for a wedding shower we had for my husband’s Personal Assistant.  It was a brunch and everyone just loved them – needless to say I did not make enough, you never know what people are going to enjoy the most.  I remember that day so well … Continue reading

Company Brunch

This is a great breakfast or brunch dish to serve to a crowd and is probably the one I make the most.  It is an easy recipe to cut back on the calories and noone knows the difference.  Such as use 2% cheddar cheese, low fat milk, low sodium soup and egg beaters.

Banana Blueberry Muffins

This recipe has gone from just plain blueberry muffins to adding bananas and then a cinnamon topping.   Then I found these neat paper muffin molds that keeps the topping from falling off and they look nice.  No more changes to this recipe! You want your bananas to be heavily speckled and can have three times the … Continue reading

Raspberry Muffins

You can never go wrong with a fruit muffin for breakfast.  The glaze drizzled over the muffins adds a nice sweet touch that goes well with the raspberries and lemon.
