This is a guest post from Dawn Farias. In my house we are boring toast eaters for breakfast, but I’d serve this for a quick dinner or lunch any day! And if you do fix breakfast, this speedy and filling sandwich will make you happy.
Breakfast
New England Blueberry Coffee Cake
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…] about New England Blueberry Coffee Cake
Slow Cooked Peaches and Cream Oatmeal
Waking up to hot oatmeal is a joy. And this Peaches and Cream Oatmeal is absolutely scrumptious! It only takes a few minutes to prep in the evening. I use my small slow cooker with a cheapo hack to make it programmable.
This recipe makes 4-6 servings. The leftovers heat up well in the microwave. It’s thick after being refrigerated, but just add a little milk to thin them down.

Nutella and Fruit Topped Waffles
Oh my goodness. This is beyond amazing.
Nutella slathered over malt waffles and piled high with bananas, blueberries and strawberries. Wow!
A while back I saw a post on the Disney Food Blog about new waffle sandwiches available at Sleepy Hollow in Magic Kingdom. I’ve vowed that we will try these on our next trip. But I couldn’t wait that long. I decided to make them at home.
I used malted milk powder in the waffles to make them more like Magic Kingdom waffles. I don’t own a Belgian waffle maker, but if you have one, you’ll want to use it for this recipe. I think thicker waffles might make them easier to fold into a sandwich. We ate them on a plate, with a fork. [Read more…] about Nutella and Fruit Topped Waffles
Whole Wheat Cinnamon Rolls
Yesterday, we covered making whole wheat bread. I used 1 loaf of bread dough to make 2 pans of cinnamon rolls. Yum!
The process is easy and not scientific at all. You’ll need the whole wheat bread dough first, of course.
Roll it out to about the thickness of pizza crust. It should look like this: [Read more…] about Whole Wheat Cinnamon Rolls
