    Sausage Balls

    December 4, 2020 - By 

    Sausage Balls have become part of our Christmas tradition. This Sausage Ball recipe is one that my Grandfather started making back before I was even born! An in law of ours brought this recipe to our family. My Granddad loved it, but tweaked it a bit through the years. We made them every Christmas. I’ve continued the tradition by making them ahead of time, bagging them up, and freezing them. That way we can heat them up through the Christmas season and sometimes even in to the new year, because I double or triple the recipe. I am happy that…

    Apple Walnut Oatmeal Muffins

    October 16, 2020 - By 

    Here’s another old recipe that I thought I’d share again since it’s one of the items on my Fall Food Bucket List. I have had a craving for apples and oatmeal lately. I decided to make these Apple Walnut Oatmeal Muffins. These turned out so good and I think they’re my second favorite muffins! Aren’t apples one of the must have, must make fall fruits? I’ll never forget when Rob and I were in Rochester, NY several years ago. It was the end of August, but it was definitely feeling like Fall up in New York. Leaves were just starting…

    Recently I needed to bring something for a potluck breakfast. I wanted something new and different. I came up with these Peach Cobbler Muffin Bites. While it’s not quite peach season around here, I’m happy to come up with a recipe that can use canned peaches that way we can enjoy peachy goodness all year long! When May rolls around, I want to try this recipe with real peaches and make that an option in the recipe. So keep an eye out for that update. These are great to make ahead or even freeze ahead.

    Breakfast Roll-Ups

    April 29, 2015 - By 

    As busy Moms, we find ourselves often scrambling around trying to whip dinner together. These roll-up recipes are such an easy answer to hectic evenings. Every Sunday, I throw the ingredients for pizza dough in the oven, so throughout the week I have it ready for homemade pizza or these easy roll-ups. If you don’t have a bread maker just get some refrigerated dough, which is just as good and easy. I like these because they can be made for breakfast ahead of time. And for those of us who like dinner for breakfast, this is a great option! Servings:…
