It doesn’t have to be for breakfast! I made this for dinner. A great use for leftover ham, this recipe has been a hit at our house. I have good results making this with frozen or reconstituted potatoes. You could use leftover ham, bacon, sausage, or all of the above. 1 16 ounce package frozen … Continue reading

Orange Butter Cake Cupcakes (or muffins)
This recipe is a revisit of Trish’s Orange Cake Recipe, but with minor edits to make them into cupcakes (or muffins if you prefer). They really don’t need to be frosted.

Shrimp Madame – Fast Food Friday Meets Saturday Breakfast
I’ll admit it, I love breakfast for dinner. But when last night’s dinner met today’s breakfast, it was nothing short of amazing. Even though I laid out the recipe in last night’s dish, I’m recopying it below. As leftovers, this dish is just for one. If you are making a whole new batch of … Continue reading
Happy National Waffle Day –Peanut Butter, Banana and Marshmallow Croisaffle Rocky Road a la mode
I think the title says it all, but I’m happy to belabor it by saying “ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?” Seriously?!? A waffle, filled with everything delicious that I love, topped with my favorite ice cream? It’s not even my birthday! In any case, I hope you enjoy this super-fast, delicious, “I-just-had-to-have-hot-dessert-topped –with-ice cream” dessert “waffle”. … Continue reading

Breakfast Burritos with Peppers, Spinach and Hashbrowns
Breakfast is good any time of day! These burritos were a quick and tasty dinner. Prep and cook time took less than 30 minutes. Note: For the hashbrowns, I use a brand of dried potatoes that you reconstitute by adding hot water. This recipe should also work with fresh or frozen hashbrowns, but they may … Continue reading

Here is a hot, easy croisaffle suitable for either breakfast or, if you have some vanilla ice cream, a great dessert! Peach Croisaffle One mini croissant Several thin slices of … Continue reading
Honey Mustard
Since a honey mustard recipe was not a recipe in my collection, one night I decided to hold a honey mustard showdown at home. I tried three recipes; an Outback Steakhouse cheater, a Red Robin cheater, and a generic honey mustard recipe that seemed to be popular all across the web. The Red Robin cheater … Continue reading
Homemade Maple Syrup
When we were kids, we never had store bought breakfast syrup. It just didn’t happen. Even if the bottle of Log Cabin or Mrs. Butterworth’s were on super sale, there was just no substituting for homemade syrup, which can be made twice as good, for a fraction of the price of all the pre-made stuff … Continue reading
