Egg Nog French Toast

December 7, 2018 By Holly 2 Comments

We’re currently busy in the kitchen getting fun new recipes ready for #ChristmasSweetsWeek. With that in mind, instead of Friday Five or Good Food Reads, today we are revisiting an old favorite recipe that’s perfect for the season. Read on for our Egg Nog French Toast – just what you need for your cozy weekend menu. Enjoy!

There’s something so warm and cozy about a good brunch, right? I always appreciate a lazy morning full of good food during this crazy holiday season. Last week I was walking through our local grocery store and saw that the dairy case was full of egg nog. Typically, it’s not the first thing I reach for this time of year (it’s so sweet!) but my husband loves it so I figured I would pick him up a carton as a little treat to kick off the holidays. As I stood there trying to decide what kind to buy, I had an idea for this delicious Egg Nog French Toast….

Pumpkin Ricotta Pancakes

December 4, 2018 By Holly 4 Comments

I feel like I should have titled this blog post “confessions of a food blogger” because I’m about to let you in on a dirty little secret. Are you ready? Here it goes: I am the parent of a picky eater. A really picky eater. Yes, that is correct. This food blogging mama has a little one who will barely eat anything resembling real food. She is my two year old, blonde, sassy little bit of dynamite who has a definite mind of her own, especially when it comes to food. She essentially has five approved foods: cheese, yogurt, bread, scrambled eggs, and pancakes. Anything outside those groups is almost guaranteed to be refused and so I’ve had to get creative in my cooking. I developed these Pumpkin Ricotta Pancakes to try and sneak a little protein into my girl’s favorite breakfast. Our whole family loved them and I thought you might, too!

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

September 4, 2018 By Lane 37 Comments

Has anyone else had a bumper crop of zucchini this summer? My tiny backyard garden has been producing zucchini which are the size of clubs. I’ve shredded and frozen more zucchini this summer than I’ve seen in my life. And of course as I’ve been shredding my zucchini, I’ve had to make my Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread. Strangely, even though this quick bread really can’t be qualified as “healthy”, in my book it is because…well, ZUCCHINI!

Good Food Reads: Breakfast Time!

March 30, 2018 By Holly Leave a Comment

Growing up, I wasn’t much of a morning person. Truth be told, I’m still not much of one now. When I was little, my parents knew to give me some space in the morning. Quiet time to ease into the day. In addition to some quiet time, I usually didn’t want to eat breakfast right away. I’m not sure why, since now breakfast (and coffee!) is one of my favorite meals of the day. I love the wide range of breakfast treats, from sweets and baked goods, to savory omelets and – of course – bacon. My one regret from my vegetarian days really is that I missed out on many years of bacon! As we approach the Easter weekend, I’ve been planning our Easter breakfast menu and it got me thinking about and searching for some new and fun breakfast recipes to try. I thought you might like to try some, too. It’s Breakfast Time on Good Food Reads and I think you’re going to love it.

Quick Glazed Orange Bread

February 6, 2018 By Lane 17 Comments

Quick Glazed Orange Bread is the treat you’ve been looking for! I made it again for my kids this weekend and then decided you might all want to make it as a treat for your kids. Or your significant other. Or make it for yourself. (what a gift!)

But if you’re making it for yourself, you may want to have someone else hide half of it where you can’t find it so you don’t eat all of it in one sitting. Or do eat all of it in one sitting. Trust me, we won’t judge.

After all, after you taste it, we know you’ll want to.

Southwestern Frittata

January 23, 2018 By Lane 19 Comments

This is the frittata of my dreams. Cheesy, packed with flavor and so, so easy, Southwestern Frittata is a keeper.

Drool alert!

Last weekend was our cabin blogging weekend. Imagine, two of my besties, a ton of fresh ingredients, wine, a beautiful view and lots of imagination. And with no kids and no husbands to cook for, we had full artistic license! SO MUCH FUN. I’m so excited to share all of the new recipes we created, starting with this Southwestern Frittata!

Good Food Reads: A Healthy Start

January 5, 2018 By Holly Leave a Comment

Happy Friday, friends. I know we didn’t really fall in line with the New Year, healthy everything program on Tuesday (if you missed it, check out our Cheesy Artichoke Dip!) but we’re back today with a great list of some of our favorite recipes for those times when we really want to put extra focus on healthy, nourishing foods. The New Year is so often a time for great diet and fitness resets and it’s also a really busy time – coming back to work or school after the holidays is no joke! Combine that with needing to make healthy foods and fit in some exercise and I love to have a handful of easy to prepare, portable foods to make. This week’s Good Food Reads: A Healthy Start is packed full of recipes to take you through your day in a healthy, happy way!…

Good Food Reads: Christmas Morning Recipes

December 22, 2017 By Holly Leave a Comment

It’s almost here!! The countdown is on, friends. We are only a few days from Christmas and I don’t know about you, but I’m knee deep in food planning, gift wrapping, and general holiday craziness. One of my favorite parts of the Christmas holiday is breakfast on Christmas Morning. In our house, it’s typically a simple affair, with good coffee, some eggs and a sweet treat of fresh waffles or (more typically) cinnamon rolls. We cook and eat in our pajamas and take our time easing into the hustle and bustle of the rest of the day. I have a few recipes that I turn to for this holiday morning, but thought I’d put together a collection of Christmas Morning Recipes in case you’re looking for just the thing to make for your family this holiday! …

Instant Pot Maple Apple Steel Cut Oats

December 12, 2017 By Lane 11 Comments

The Instant Pot is my new favorite kitchen tool. This Instant Pot Maple Apple Steel Cut Oats will make it your favorite as well!

Remember that Quaker oatmeal? The kind that came in packets? The one that came in many different flavors? I was a particular fan of the Maple Brown Sugar flavor, but the Apple Cinnamon flavor came in a close second. It was always hard to choose! I don’t know if it’s still around, but I figured it would be probably be pretty easy to make at home. Always a girl to “want it all”, I decided that if I was making it, I sure wasn’t going to be choosing anymore, because truthfully Maple, Apple, and Cinnamon all worked perfectly together. Given my current obsession with the Instant Pot, the path was clear. Instant Pot Maple Apple Steel Cut Oats. Done and Done. …
