Slow Cooker Breakfast Casserole

February 26, 2013 by Tiffany

I actually didn’t make this casserole for breakfast, but for brunch after church. It’s a perfect after church meal, because it’s easy to throw together while you’re trying to rush everyone out of the house. And the cook time is perfect to have it ready when you get back.

I used potatoes with onions and peppers in them to add plenty of flavor without adding a chopping step. This one is really just “assembly only”. Important when you’re trying not to be the last family to slip into the sanctuary.

Here’s what you’ll need: [Read more...]

New England Blueberry Coffee Cake

June 19, 2012 by Tiffany

How many U.S. states have you been too? I have not been to very many, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to go. You know those culprits – time and money – that keep us from getting to do what we’d like to do.

So I had an idea that this summer I would travel the country from my own kitchen and invite you to come along.

This week, we’re in the New England states of Maine, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont and Massachusetts. I would love to visit this area of the world, because I hear it is beautiful! If you’re from New England, please leave a comment and let me know. And tell us what your favorite regional foods are – links welcome!

I chose to make this recipe for New England Blueberry Coffee Cake. I found the recipe on AllRecipes. The only change I made was the baking time. The time the recipe states was no where near long enough. I also forgot to add the flour to the butter and brown sugar in the topping. It still turned out, but the flour would have made it more like a crumb topping.

We loved this cake. It’s full of blueberries, topped with brown sugar and butter and studded with walnuts. Oh my! [Read more...]

Nutella Muffins

June 7, 2011 by Tiffany

The outside looks like a plain vanilla muffin. But inside there’s a creamy pocket of Nutella hiding.

Can it get any better?

I don’t think so.

Loy says dessert-like muffins should be called “Muffcakes”. I agree completely.

Here’s how you make this magic – and please do go straight to your kitchen to make these. You will love yourself for it! [Read more...]

Coconut Chocolate Chip Muffins with Cocoa Coconut Streusel

May 31, 2011 by Tiffany

The other day, I posted a list of 28 Muffins You’ll Want to Try and Terri left this comment:

Hi,
I was looking at your muffin recipes. They look yummy! I’m also looking for a coconut muffin maybe with mini choc chips added. Have you ever heard of something like that? I thought maybe replacing the liquid with coconut milk then add either maybe a streusel with toasted coconut and a drizzle of chocolate. What do you think? Do you have any suggestions? I have tried a couple of your recipes and passed on your site to some friends.
Thanks,
Terri

Oh, what a good idea! I went into the kitchen and got creative right away. These are the result. The muffin is infused with coconut flavor and studded with mini chocolate chips. The streusel topping has cocoa and coconut. Oh yeah!

28 Muffin Recipes You’ll Want to Try

May 20, 2011 by Tiffany

I love muffins. I love them even more than cupcakes. Probably because they are so quick to make. It’s almost instant gratification from the time the muffin idea pops in your head until you’re pulling them from the oven.

Of course, not all muffins are the sweet variety. They are delicious savory versions that can round out and stretch a meal.

Here’s a list of muffin recipes gathered from this site and all around the web too. Enjoy!

Chocolate Chip Muffins

May 3, 2011 by Tiffany

I whipped these muffins up one night to snack on during family game night. We were playing spoons, which usually leads to ice cream for some reason. Then the next morning we have no spoons to stir coffee or eat cereal because they’re all dirty from the game playing, ice cream eating fun the night before.

But on this night, I decided chocolate chip muffins would make a fine snack. I love baking muffins, because it’s so fast and there’s an infinite variety of flavors. Needless to say, these were a hit.

I have some big plans for taking these muffins to a new level that involve cream cheese and chocolate ganache. I’m waiting for a day when I can bake in the afternoon so the photos have some daylight. We’ve had so much rain lately, I may have to settle for a dark day.

Back to the muffin recipe. Here’s what you’ll need. I didn’t grab a photo of the ingredients, but they’re all common items. [Read more...]

Goat Cheese Biscuits

April 14, 2011 by Tiffany

I have been so excited to share this recipe with you. In early March, I visited a friend in Chicago and she took me to Table Fifty Two. The food in that restaurant has a decidedly Southern flair. Chef Art Smith has been a personal chef to Oprah. Now he creates dishes such as Fried Green Tomatoes with Feta, Pancetta, Red Onion Marmalade and Kalamata Olive – Amazing!

We sat in the main room of the restaurant where Goat Cheese Biscuit dough was being poured into hot iron skillets and baked in a brick oven. Our server brought us a serving of the biscuits to share. Oh my! They are light, with herbs and goat cheese inside and buttery Parmesan topping.

As my friend and I savored these biscuits and I watched the process of making them, I was pretty sure I could recreate the recipe at home. And I was right.

These would be perfect for an Easter dinner or brunch. And they are easy to make too. The dough is similar to drop biscuits and it can be baked in an iron skillet, ramekins or muffins tins. Here’s what you’ll need: [Read more...]

Western Omelette Casserole

January 7, 2011 by Tiffany

For Christmas morning, I wanted to make a different type of breakfast casserole than the egg/sausage one I usually make. We have to have some kind of protein to counteract the cinnamon rolls, frozen fruit cups, and hot cocoa.

I set out on a search to find a recipe that suited me, but since I’m picky, I couldn’t find the perfect casserole. So, I created one based on several recipes. I knew I wanted ham, peppers and onions. And it needed to be something I could make the day before and pop in the oven on Christmas morning to bake.

The result was exactly what I hoped for. The green and red pepper made it look Christmasy, but it would be good for any brunch. It would also make a good breakfast-for-dinner meal. I didn’t get a photo of the ingredients, but here’s what you’ll need: [Read more...]

Easiest Ever French Toast – Taking a Slice of Bread to New Heights

December 4, 2010 by Tiffany

Last month when I went to the I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter test kitchens they fed us some delicious foods. Lots and lots of food. All made with ICBINB, of course.

Leave it to me to pick out the simplest idea to share with you. In a room full of cheesecake, stuffed mushrooms, truffles (I may still have to share those) and scones, I zeroed in on toast. I love simple, easy, manageable, effortless recipes.

Grab that tub of ICBINB and get ready to transform your morning toast. [Read more...]

Cranberry Pecan Sticky Rolls and My Trip to the I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! Test Kitchen

November 23, 2010 by Tiffany

When I was contacted about the I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! Holiday Bake-Off trip, I quickly agreed to participate. Then I realized I would need to come prepared to bake something. (Pictures from the trip are at the end of this post.)

Cranberries are a natural holiday food, so I created two recipes featuring these beautiful gems. Cranberry Muffins with Orange Marmalade Glaze is the recipe I chose to enter, only because I was afraid the roll dough in this recipe would not have time to rise in the 2-hour time limit.

But the rolls are a cinch to make and have all the sticky-sweet goodness you expect from a sticky roll. As a bonus, they’re studded with tart, red cranberries making them perfect for the Holidays. [Read more...]
