Muffins are such an amazing baked good, because they are perfect for any time of day! It is acceptable to have them for breakfast, as a snack or as a dessert. I shared my recipe for Birthday Cake Muffins a couple weeks ago, and I took that recipe and modified it just slightly to give you this Chocolate Chip Muffin recipe. My kids go crazy for these muffins, and to be honest my husband and I love them as well. Try this recipe out today and your family will love them too!
I have never been a huge breakfast person. I feel like everyone tends to have the same things over and over for breakfast. Eggs, bacon, sausage, fruit and repeat. My husband and kids always want a big breakfast on the weekend, but it just bores me. Eggs in Purgatory, or Shakshouka, is one breakfast dish that I can get behind. This is still a traditional breakfast dish because of the eggs, but it is different and exciting enough that I look forward to waking up for it!
Smoothies are a lifesaver for me when it comes to breakfast. As a mom of four small children, my mornings are always hectic. If I don’t come up with something quick and easy that I can have on the go, I won’t end up eating breakfast at all. You may have already enjoyed my PB&J smoothie, and now I hope you love my Orange Cream Smoothie!
My oldest daughter is absolutely obsessed with sprinkles. I am confident that if I let her, she would add sprinkles to every single thing she eats, and who can really blame her?! I often make baked goods with fruit or chocolate for breakfast (like these pancakes), but I have never really considered adding sprinkles. This morning, I suggested chocolate chips muffins for breakfast, and I could see how disappointed she was. I decided to change it up a bit and do birthday cake muffins instead!
I really love cooking and baking and I take pride in making things from scratch. It really makes me feel good to know exactly what is going into the food that I am making for my family (even if it is something loaded with sugar). You want to know what I hate? Absolutely anything that happens before about 9am. I am the complete opposite of a morning person, but for some reason my family keeps on waking up at a normal time and expecting breakfast. Because I have this profound hatred for the morning, I am always looking for ways to simplify my breakfast recipes. Enter these sausage and cheese cornbread muffins. I made these just a little easier by using a box of corn muffin mix, and I am so thankful for that when I am making a half-asleep Sunday morning breakfast.
My son is honestly the pickiest eater I know. I mean this kid lives off of peanut butter and Nutella sandwiches and I have given up on getting him to eat any vegetables. As a mom, I love making food that my kids are actually going to eat and enjoy. For my son, “Colby’s Pancakes” are one of the only things that I know I can make for him and he will clean his plate every single time. Really though, the whole family loves these pancakes, so they are a weekend morning regular around here for sure. It probably doesn’t hurt that they are usually full of chocolate chips, fruit or sprinkles and topped with butter!
I always go to the grocery store with the healthiest of plans. I buy all of these fruits and vegetables and then we only eat a portion of them before they have gone bad. I feel like bananas are the worst about turning brown before we get around to eating them. Well, I’ve got a use for all of those brown bananas! This Banana Bread with Streusel Topping uses two overripe bananas, and it is the moistest banana bread you will ever have. It also has a decadent streusel topping because, why not?!
Here is it: bourbon, bacon, biscuits, butter and brown sugar. Shew! Okay, so… have you guys ever seen that episode of Sex and the City where Miranda can’t stop eating the cake? She throws the cake away and then just ends up eating it out of the trash can. Well this is that good. I … Read more
Breakfast time on the weekend is one of my favorite times. We are always so busy during the week, and breakfast is almost always a very rushed experience. Honestly, I hardly ever find the time to eat until way after lunch time. When the weekend rolls around, though, and we are all home, we take … Read more
