Mornings are rough, especially as the days get shorter and the sun is still below the horizon when the alarm goes off. I tend to hit snooze (sometimes more than I should) as I squeeze out the last few minutes of sleep from the night. This gradual emerging from bed creates a domino effect as […]

Bacon & Gruyere Sous Vide Egg Bites
Ever since Starbucks introduced their Sous Vide Egg Bites, I have been obsessed with the Bacon & Gruyere ones. I can’t exactly justify picking them up frequently as I try to bring my own coffee each morning (saving Starbucks as a treat for Fridays). I decided to make a few of my own, and found a […]
Delicious Stuffed Breakfast Rolls
When it comes to breakfast, many times I simply grab what is easy as I run out the door with my coffee. On the weekends, I like to enjoy my breakfast while I sip my coffee on the island; however, I don’t want to spend a lot of time cooking said breakfast. These delicious stuffed […]
Orange Rhubarb Muffins
One of my favorite things about spring and summer is fresh rhubarb. When I was a kid, I used to eat it raw because I liked the tartness. My favorite thing now is to put it in scrumptious baked goods. For a few other rhubarb recipes I’ve done, check out these cookies and vodka. Orange […]

I got one of the OXO Pop Containers to hold the mix and taped the ingredients and directions to the […]

I could seriously eat like 3 of these in one sitting. Here is the recipe that I used to make these muffins. I used rice milk and […]
Apricot Pineapple Jam
Each year for Christmas, my aunt Evelyn brings Apricot-Pineapple Jam to add to the ham. When I got all of these free Apricots last week I knew that I wanted to make my own version of this jam. I wasn’t 100 percent happy with the recipes that I found because all of them called for […]
Strawberry-Fig Jam
My canning series continues today with a recipe for Strawberry Fig Jam. Last year I made a ton of Fig Jam; however, Brad didn’t like it and thought it was “boring” so this year I decided to modify the recipe to add strawberries. Here is the recipe that I used: Ingredients: 1 1/3 cups Chopped […]
