Turkey Hash
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving? Now that we’ve gotten through our first big holiday, let the shopping begin! Yes, my mind always goes to shopping first.

Butter Pecan Bread Pudding with Cream Cheese Glaze
I really don’t have words to describe my Butter Pecan Bread Pudding with Cream Cheese Glaze and Chocolate Chips. Try saying that quickly.

Potato and Cheese Latkes

Hash Brown Quiche with Bacon
Yesterday was rough folks! The Fiber Optics (fiber who, exactly, lol) were cut in my line therefore I had no internet, phone, or cable for a full 24 hours. Normally, this would be no problem because I don’t watch much t.v. or really use the phone, BUT, no internet! What’s a food blogger to do?…

Pecan Coconut Granola
If you’re like me then every time you see granola you want it! What I don’t want is the high cost of purchasing granola and the fact that it’s just not as fresh or as cost effective as making it yourself. My Pecan Coconut Granola is not only simple to make, it’s delicious! When the…
Creole Breakfast Sausage
My family loves when I make breakfast sausage from scratch. Yes, I often purchase sausage because it’s quicker, but nothing beats the taste of fresh sausage.

Quick and Easy Frittata with Tomatoes, Peppers and Two Cheeses
I love Frittatas because one, it’s a simple dish to create, and two, you can turn it into whatever you like. You can use any type of meat and/or vegetable and make your frittata extra special. It’s one of those dishes that is perfect for getting rid of extra veggies at the end of the…
Cheesy Green Chili Sausage Gravy with Biscuits
It’s Biscuit and Gravy time! I must say, I am not a big breakfast person, but I do love brunch! The reason brunch is my favorite time of day is because it’s breakfast and lunch together, which means, I am getting closer to dinner. Yes, I know my reasoning behind brunch may be flawed but…
