You may or may not know I've returned to Weight Watchers. Now that I'm counting points I try real hard not to fall into the rut of eating cereal every day. Sure, it's easier to weigh out a serving and count but I'd much rather a warm breakfast with less processed foods. This morning I decided [...]

I really wanted to get one last video in before the Little Bean arrives. This one is pretty long and you don't have the 5 year old to entertain you. I cook from start to end with no editing and basically blab with you. I'm hoping to up my production value post baby, getting a [...]

Craving alert! Well, not really a typical pregnancy craving. It was more like a desire to eat a warm healthy lunch, kind of craving. I don't have much in the house in the way of fresh produce at the moment. I used all my spinach in the Turkey Spinach Lasagna Roll-ups, I don't buy tomatoes [...]

You are going to think this idea is absolutely ridiculous or genius. I tend to think it's genius but I may be biased. ;) Simply, I make an egg mold out of an empty nut can. Here, I'll show you. I went a little picture happy. Ingredients I used... 1 egg 1 [...]

What's a pancake waffle you ask? Well it's my answer to not really knowing the difference between waffle and pancakes. I *THINK* waffles generally contain a bit more fat and sugar to crisp up more but I'm not sure. Normally I just use pancake batter in the waffle iron leaving them in long enough to [...]

First I made Mini Egg Muffins. Then Mini Spinach Egg Muffins. Now I present Mini Western Omelet Muffins! :) Western omelets have always been my favorite. The combination of onion, peppers and ham with egg dipped in ketchup is a little taste of breakfast heaven for this breakfast lover. The little guy had NO interest [...]

Let me first say this idea only hit me because of our recent influx of fruit. :) I had a slow morning as the little guy had a doctors appointment. So I got to chill a bit instead of rushing in to beat traffic. So I took the idea behind my quick banana pancakes and [...]

Or I guess you can call them salmon patties. But being from Maryland, land of the crab cake, cake just sounds right to me. :) Here's the story. Yesterday after an insane morning run I knew I was gonna be hungry and I knew the husband was gonna want to order in or go out [...]

These muffins were inspired by this wonderful looking bread over on Recipe Girl. I saw the picture, read prunes and said aloud, "GENIUS!" The toddler and I made a couple of batches to get the sweetness right and we were pleased at this mornings results! In fact, we were so smitten there are only 2 [...]

I will not dare say I know the difference between a bread, a cake, a muffin, or even a pie for that matter. All I do know is sometimes I crave a "baked good". At least I did today. When I was little, my grandmother would make this yummy banana bread/cake (whatever) in a [...]

...and I mean quick! Seriously, the video is 15 minutes. It took me 15 minutes to make a warm, healthy home cooked breakfast for the toddler before school. That 15 minutes included a bit of discipline, a pumpkin show off, a mini-commercial, the toddler cracking my eggs and scooping my spices. It was [...]

In the mood for a big Sunday breakfast and only having one egg can make you do funny funny things. ;~P I fished out an old frozen bag of hash brown cut potatoes. Did you know they were just potatoes? I didn't. I always thought frozen "hash browns" would be chock full of stuff I [...]

I fear calling this idea a “muffin” as it really is more of an oatmeal cup (whatever that is!). The idea comes from Robyn's Core Muffins recipe posted on BlogToLose. I'm glad I tried them they are a great breakfast idea, especially when you are on the run. Make a batch on the weekend and [...]

I finally did it! I've been kicking around zucchini bread ideas for some time and after a few experiments I'm ready to post. The idea is a modified version of a recipe my mom uses from an old cookbook. It intrigued me with it's use of crushed pineapple as a sweetener. Although the original recipe [...]

When I was a kid I had some quirks, I guess we all do. One of my moms favorite stories about me and my stubbornness is refusing to eat ice cream if it wasn't chocolate. She just told the story (again) at Labor Day! LOL I also loved cheese, but hated it melted and [...]

Not that long ago I posted Mini Egg Muffins which I LOVED but the recipe made 4 servings and called for too many egg whites. Don't get me wrong I love that recipe and I'll make it again. It serves 4 with 6 muffins a piece! But I wanted something a bit quicker for just [...]

I was watching the food network and Bobby Flay was having a Throwdown with some Crêpe ladies and I was inspired. I never had a Crêpe before. Have you? So I set out and researched a bit on line and most recipe required a lot of eggs and butter. Wanting something lighter, I experimented with [...]

I have 2 confessions about this idea. Ya ready? 1. It was inspired by a certain someone who recently launched her first cookbook and 2. I don't like cheese on eggs. How can I not like cheese on eggs. Seriously? I like cheese and I like eggs but together they give me the willies. Weird, [...]

A while back Kalyn posted a recipe for Egg muffins and it intrigued me. I mean, basically it's a single serve frittata you could carry to work! Then I saw Giada make Mini Frittatas and I just had to make this idea my own (I only say that because I CANNOT make a recipe [...]

Update: Click here to see a video of the toddler and I making our morning omelets! I LOVE having breakfast with the toddler, it truly is my favorite time of day and I’m not even a morning person! When the toddler became a toddler, I introduced eggs into his diet. I read up on [...]
