“Waffled” Breakfast Club Sandwich

I came of age in the 80s. I wore leg warmers, neon colors, Flashdance-influenced sweatshirts, and designer jeans. My hair has been pink, asymmetric, and teased up high (just not all at once). I have been a punk, a prep, and a rocker.

Circa 1985. Such babies.

Lemon Pancakes with Dark Sweet Cherries

During the winter brrr, what’s better for breakfast than a little citrus flavor?

I found the original recipe in Joy of Cooking after finding some near dead and departed lemons on the cabinet last summer. This recipe was delicious and made super thick, delicious pancakes. I wanted to tweak the recipe a bit and use . . . → Read More: Lemon Pancakes with Dark Sweet Cherries

Breakfast Bread Pudding

I love me some bread pudding, yet I never make it. You can be assured that if it is on the menu when we dine out, I will order it. Chocolate bread pudding, pumpkin bread pudding, traditional Southern bread pudding with whiskey sauce. It matters not.

Whole Wheat Pumpkin Muffins (and a weird squash)

Have you ever been over to M.J.’s Kitchen? If not, you must stumbled over there as soon as you are able.

Last January, M.J. posted about an unusual squash with an unusual name: Cushaw Pumpkin. These things do not look like pumpkins at all. Besides the weird name, they were pretty weird looking. She spoke . . . → Read More: Whole Wheat Pumpkin Muffins (and a weird squash)

Almond Granola with Maple Syrup and Honey

Another granola recipe.

I can never make the same granola recipe twice (or according to The Hubs, any recipe twice).

We are so fickle, too. This is our newest and current favorite, that is until the next batch.

Blueberry-Granola Coffee Cake

What’s one of the most delicious and fattening and unhealthy things for breakfast? That could very well be a loaded question.

For me, it is coffee cake. If it is on a brunch buffet, I am taking two pieces.

If I am driving through TenBucks (as The Hubs calls it), I will get a piece . . . → Read More: Blueberry-Granola Coffee Cake
