Breakfast

    These sweet and tender instant oatmeal scones are baked with a crunchy cinnamon sugar topping and made versatile by using instant oatmeal packets! I love a good baking hack, don’t you? I love taking something simple and easy that I already have on hand in the pantry and making it just bit better. I know you all love doing this too, because the most popular recipe on AHB is how to make jiffy cornbread mix better. Well, today…

I’ve partnered with Dole Packaged Foods to bring you this recipe. #SharetheSunshine #DoleDetox #ad Smoothie parfaits are light and fresh, with layers of strawberry, peach, and banana smoothie, chia pudding, granola, and topped with fresh fruit. It’s basically every healthy breakfast you could crave rolled up into one pretty package with only a few minutes prep. Every year there is one thing that I add to my New Year’s resolution list, eat a healthy breakfast! This simple task is just…

Easy make ahead meets elegant when it comes to this ham and asparagus strata. Layers of English muffins, ham, asparagus and cheese are drenched in eggs, Hollandaise sauce mix, and half and half for a hearty breakfast casserole that works great anytime of year.  Excellent for using up leftover ham! I meant to get this ham and asparagus strata posted last week. As I mentioned in my eggnog scones post, it would be a great make ahead breakfast for Christmas…

Eggnog plays the star in these eggnog scones. Its rich egginess, sweet vanilla edge and splash of  nutmeg spice makes the perfect addition to scones. Topped with a creamy eggnog glaze these scones are a fun and festive treat to enjoy with your cuppa this winter. Last week I shared cranberry crumb muffins, this week I’m bringing you a recipe for eggnog scones and next I’ll have a recipe for an easy and elegant make ahead ham and asparagus strata.…

Cranberry Crumb Muffins are a perfect way to use up fresh cranberries. These fluffy muffins are studded with sweet and tart cranberries and topped with a sprinkling of crunchy oat crumb topping. Be honest here, how often to you cook with fresh cranberries? Maybe once a year, tops twice, right? I was shocked when I discovered that only 5% of the cranberries grown in the United States are actually sold fresh. The vast majority are turned into juice, cranberry sauce,…

Caramel apple scones are flaky tender scones studded with chunks of sweet tart apple that are topped with buttery homemade caramel glaze. It’s okay to have a crush on these scones, I have for a long time.  I know I just posted an apple recipe not that long ago. Let me tell you what happens; I buy apples to eat fresh, they are my good intention apples, but then I think of things to bake with them and it all…

Apples, bacon, and cheese make an easy, delicious and out of the box fall breakfast when broiled on top of English muffins. The other day my middle son had me buy enough English muffins that he could make English muffin pizzas for our family for dinner and for his FACS class at school. You know I have teenage boys and his FACS class is full of teenagers, so I basically bought so many English muffins that I could have fed…

Sweet potato sage scones are buttery crisp on the bottom, with a mellow undertone of sweetness from the sweet potatoes. Sage and butter really bring the combination together for a rich and flaky, savory scone. Try these in place of biscuits next time you serve up a roasted chicken or turkey! I don’t think it’s any secret that scones are my first love when it comes to baking. After all the first recipe I ever shared on AHB was for…

Savor the taste of summer any time of the year with these bright and fragrant Strawberry Lemon Scones. Light and tender scones are given the summer treatment in this recipe, full of the fresh flavors of strawberries and lemon and topped with a tangy lemon glaze. I’ve given a lot of thought over whether I would talk about my blogging break or whether I would just ignore it. It’s kind of the elephant in the room at this point, because…

These bite-sized, spiced just right pumpkin donuts are topped with a cinnamon cream cheese glaze to  create perfectly poppable pumpkin roll donuts.  Perfectly poppable pumpkin roll donuts–try saying that 5 times fast. If you were to ask any of my coworkers one thing that I loved, they would probably tell you donuts. They might even say that I’m obsessed with donuts. I won’t even try and deny it. Once you’ve had fresh homemade donuts, there’s no turning back. Especially when…
