One of my favorite breakfasts that looks as good as it tastes! The best thing about this recipe I've created is that you can go as basic or fancy as you'd like, even making it gluten-free or free of other things like dairy and meat using your preferred substitutes. I hope you like them as much as I do. Comment below!

I know I've mentioned before how much I love blueberries, and so it was an extra-special treat for me to receive a jar of blueberry jam as a Christmas gift last week from a colleague.  As delicious it was to consider the possibilities on how to pair it with scones, toast, English muffins and the like, this recipe for Blueberry Jam Muffins was calling to me this morning.  And the end result certainly didn't disappoint!

To start, I gathered my ingredients and decided to cut the recipe to one-thi...

PHOTO CREDITS: What's Good at Trader Joe's?

I don't know about you, but I can eat potatoes with any meal. Whole, diced, sliced, whipped, you name it. They can be as fancy or as casual as you'd like, and in of themselves they can be an entire meal (baked potato bar, anyone?).  Because of this, sometimes I like to make oven roasted potatoes because they are THAT GOOD with things like eggs, meats, and even cinnamon rolls and quick breads. 

My favorite way to make them has been using this breakfas...

Every once in a while, a breakfast bowl sounds appealing - especially in the winter!  I found this great link for some yummy ideas to try.  So far, I've made the sausage one that is awesome with chicken andouille sausage from Trader Joe's.  It gave the dish the flavor needed, since the use of herbs and other seasonings was minimal.  Also, I preferred to use coconut oil over ghee, but that's only because I had it on-hand.  I'm sure the ghee will also add a wonderful flavor, especially when com...

Now that the weather is cooling down, I couldn't resist trying out this yummy gluten-free, crustless quiche recipe I came across today here.  I haven't posted a new blog in a while, so I thought it was more than time to do so.

Today's breakfast was easy to whip up, because I had mostly everything on-hand - and I only made one serving so that I could enjoy it all by my lonesome.  However, in the absence of fresh basil, I substituted Italian seasoning, and it was still very good!  Isn't it prett...

After playing around with a few Pinterest recipes, I created this tasty little breakfast bake that you can easily make in larger quantities in order to fit into a 9x13 baking dish.  For this recipe, and because I am the only one who likes to eat it, I made it as a single-serving size, which works well if you want to treat yourself to something special any day of the week.

I usually like to add red peppers and bacon, but this time around I didn't have either, so I made it rather basic.  To make...

Crazy title, right??  Well, this morning I decided to test out a fun way of making fried eggs without using a pan.  It all started when last month I came upon this pin on Pinterest: 23 Things You Can Cook in a Waffle Iron, and was intrigued.  And then I found this recipe for making mashed potato waffles and was blown away by how tasty and easy they were to make!  So today, I just had to cook some fried eggs.  Why not?

To get started, I took out my handy-dandy waffle iron, sprayed it, and let i...

Thanks to my aunt who married into a Flemish family, this Belgian waffle recipe is as authentic as it gets, and is one she has used many times. The results are great!

Here is the recipe (though I made my batch 1/4 of the amount called for, which yielded 4 medium to small waffles):

8 cups flour
4 eggs
2 cups butter
3 oz milk
22 oz sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp baking powder
Dash of vanilla extract
