I am here to tell you Brioche Bread makes the best french toast in the world, hands down!! This bread is rich, buttery and slightly sweet so making it into french toast is a win win. Even if you are not a fan of french toast I think this would convert you. This Brioche French french toast is my new lazy sunday morning brunch running a close second to my Banana Blueberry Waffles.

Hello my name is Debbie and I am addicted to blueberry biscuits. Serioulsy , I have made these babies so many times the past couple weeks my fingers have a bluish hue . As much as I love my traditional Blueberry Biscuits with Lemon Glaze I am all about saving time. Long before I was sharing my recipes I learned to make 7-up biscuits. I am sure you have seen a version of them floating around on pinterst . They are so yummy and EASY..and that is where I got the inspiration for these Easy Blueberry Biscuits. A few little adjustments and a perfect buttery, melt in your mouth breakfast.

Do you ever see a recipe shared on facebook and think ..”wow, i reallly need that” ? Early on a sunday morning I saw a blueberry biscuit recipe shared on facebook and after I got caffinated I went to work. I didn’t even click on the link , I wanted the recipe to my own. In the picture it was just a plain biscuit, I knew I wanted a lemon glaze. Lemon and blueberry is simply a marriage made in heaven. After several experiments this is the Blueberry Biscuit with Lemon Glaze I decided I liked the best.

At my house I can buy bananas one week and they disapear so quickly I wonder if we have a monkey hiding in the closet. The next week I can buy them and nobody eats them . This weekend it was the second choice and I had a bowl full of over ripen bananas. My boys love homemade waffles and I decided to incorperate bananas into a basic waffle mix and they were wonderful. I love a warm homemade waffle that is slightly crisp on the outside and nice and soft on the inside. I had some fresh blueberries on hand so these Banana Blueberry Waffles were born.

Fall is in full swing and so is my love of pumpkin!! I feel like there is an over saturation of pumpkin everything in the supermarkets, somethings are just not meant to be pumpkin flavored..like TWINKIES. Let’s face it Twinkies are best in their pure form, we all remember when they disappeared off the shelves in 2013 and we never want that to happen again. Pumpkin Muffins are still my all time favorite baked goods, even over pie. Muffins are the most near and dear to me because they are sweet but not overly sweet and perfect for breakfast, snacks, or even deserts. There is nothing like lounging on the sofa all bundled up with a hot cup of coffee and a warm muffin. If you are a pumpkin lover like me you will adore this Pumpkin Spiced Cinnamon Roll Cake.

Let me start off by saying having three active kids in high school is exhausting ! The past two weeks have been crazy and I need a T-shirt that says “I survived Homecoming 2018” . When I was staring at three wrist corasges and three boutainares I realized at that moment that I have three sons in High School and I felt very old and tired LOL . The week of Homecoming it seemed like something was going on everynight and I seriously did not cook one night that week. Two of my kids loved it , we ordered out every night and they were in take out Heaven. This did not go over well with my autistic son, he expects a home cooked meal everyday. I am in trouble with him and I had to make my meal plan for the week. These Brunch Quesadillas was a perfect way to start off the week! They are hearty enough to eat anytime and they pair well with Easy Fresh Salsa.

This Cherry Chia Smoothie is smooth, creamy and full of yummy goodness. Cherries are one of my favorite fruits and the chia seeds adds flavor and nuttiness. I like to base my fruit smoothies with a Greek yogurt , it is sort of tangy and goes with the sweetness of fruit. I started experimenting with smoothies a few years ago when my teenagers discovered the local smoothie shop. If they had an unlimited budget they would be there everyday but $7-9 a pop they would rather me make them at home and save their money for more important things.

Honestly who doesn’t love homemade cinnamon rolls? Waking up to that warm gooey goodness with a hot cup of coffee is pure heaven . In order to have them for breakfast the cook..AKA Me..would have to get up at in the wee hours of the morning to start the process. Not very fair huh? The answer to all of this is Par-Baking your rolls. All this means is when the rolls are ready to go into the oven they are partially baked and can be either frozen or refrigerated. I have kept rolls in the freezer for a few months and they baked beautifully. Just think if you had homemade cinnamon rolls slathered with homemade icing on Christmas morning you be Mom of the year.

These Cake Mix Cinnamon Rolls come from my collection of “furlough rolls”. My husband is a federal employee and he was furloughed during the fall of 2014. To help make ends meet during that time I made and sold cinnamon rolls when I got off work. I came up with several variations of cinnamon rolls in that time and I dubbed them all furlough rolls. When that time passed and my husband was no longer furloughed I swore I would never knead dough again. Once the blisters healed from closing hundreds of pans and the freezer no longer was stocked with pans of rolls that didn’t sell I missed them. These are seriously worth kneading dough again. Back in 2014 I adjusted this recipe many times and could make these without even thinking but not today. I actually had to pull out my handwritten notes.
