Cinnamon, Almond, and Banana Pancakes

Cinnamon, Almond, and Banana Pancakes

I had seen quite a few recipes for pancakes that only used an egg, and mashed banana. Occasionally a teaspoon of vanilla extract but nothing beyond that. And I was quite intrigued. Could this possibly come close to pancakes made from scratch or our go-to choice of Bisquick? I had to find out for myself with this easy cinnamon, almond and banana pancake recipe. I am an almond lover (the type that has eaten Marzipan on it’s own) so I wanted to see if that would taste okay in this mix and then I saw the cinnamon in the cabinet and thought- why not. Thus, cinnamon, banana, and almond pancakes were born. Or at least in my kitchen. Ingredients for Cinnamon, Banana, and Almond pancakes And that,…

Low Carb Breakfast Scramble

Low Carb Breakfast Scramble

While a low carb diet isn’t exactly our intention, on occasion we’ll have low carb dishes. This usually results in a low carb breakfast option like this delicious low carb breakfast scramble. During the week we don’t make a big to-do about breakfast but over the weekends, we do put more effort into it. Sunday is always pancake day and Saturday, we get a little more creative. Kyle’s boys, T & J, have cereal usually but I’ll make something for myself, Kyle, and Squeaker. Easy Low Carb Breakfast Scramble This breakfast scramble can be completely vegetarian if you’d like and you can also add in other vegetables. Next time, I think I’ll use spinach as well.

Easy French Toast Biscuit Bake for Breakfast

Easy French Toast Biscuit Bake for Breakfast

While you could certainly make this easy French toast biscuits for breakfast at anytime of the year, this might also be an alternative for Christmas morning. Or for a Christmas brunch. And to be perfectly honest with you? I enjoyed one of these for dessert or an afternoon snack when my sweet tooth hit. I love making egg based recipes because it’s an easy way to sneak some sort of nutritional value into food. French toast was one of those first things that I learned how to make on my own.

On our recent trip to California, my dad made French toast for breakfast one morning….

Eggtastic Weekend Breakfast Bake

Eggtastic Weekend Breakfast Bake

On the weekends, I love recipes that can serve as both breakfast and brunch. Sometimes I get the chance to sleep in on the weekend so having a handy brunch recipe is always nice. But even on those weekend mornings where I can’t sleep in (which is more often than not) I still enjoy having a hearty and filling breakfast that will keep me going throughout the day. Because of this, I like to have recipes on hand that have eggs and at least once a month, I make this eggtastic weekend breakfast bake. Sometimes I’ll make it during the week as it does reheat well. This particular breakfast bake is also loaded with sausage, spinach, green peppers, onions, mushrooms, and cheese. You could certainly…

Eggtastic Breakfast Recipes

I have ambitions of raising my own chickens when we finally move out of Albany. We’ll still be in the capital district, just in an area where it’s okay to raise chickens. My main reasoning behind this is because I want to know that the eggs we’re eating are fresh, healthier eggs and not jam packed with hormones. But until I can start raising my own chickens, I’m proud to partner with NestFresh Eggs! All of our eggs are always 100% cage free. That means that no matter which NestFresh Eggs you choose, you can be sure that the hens that laid your eggs had room to roam around large barns. Not only that, but our hens are also free to jump on perches, run…

Canned Biscuit Breakfast Bake Recipe

With the holidays approaching, and family arriving (though not for us this year), you’ll want to have some quick and easy breakfast/brunch ideas to have handy. One thing that I love to do is make cinnamon rolls or set out a simple breakfast buffet table with selections such as scrambled eggs, bacon, breakfast sausage, English muffins, and bagels. Another way I like to prepare breakfast or brunch for a larger crowd is to make a breakfast casserole. Casseroles tend to be a staple in our house at this time of the year anyway, so why not apply that to breakfast? I just had to try this delicious canned biscuit breakfast bake recipe. This recipe was adapted slightly from here After doing a Google search for breakfast…
