Last Saturday morning, I was working in my office, drinking my coffee, when I get a text message from my teenage son saying, "How much do you love me, Mom?"
All parents know that is a loaded question that WILL be followed by a favor! :) Apparently, one of his friends had posted on SnapChat a video of himself eating Dutch pancakes for breakfast and my son wanted me to make some for him. Now, I've never even heard of Dutch pancakes but after getting a description of them from my son (thin, rolled up pancakes), I browsed the internet until I found a recipe that seemed to make sense to me.

A simple and scrumptious way to utilize the abundance of tomatoes and basil in the garden, this sandwich comes together in a snap, particularly if you use pre-cooked bacon, perhaps leftover from breakfast. Of course, there is no such thing as leftover bacon in this house unless I hide it from my teenage son!
Recently I tried out the new cold brew coffee at McDonald's and completely fell in love! I had to try to find my own version to make at home with my leftover coffee. It was much easier than I anticipated to get the ingredients just to my liking!
This is a recipe that I remember from my childhood...incredibly simple and soooooo yummy!!!
You can chose to make this any flavor that you'd like; my favorite is cherry but you can use any flavor of Jell-O mix. If you are looking for a simple dish to bring to a potluck, this is the perfect one to try! It looks beautiful with the bright and fresh colors of the veggie toppings and it is a breeze to throw together!
This is one of my favorite comfort foods and, even better, it is an easy recipe to double and throw the extras in the freezer for a fully-prepped meal on a busy weekday. If I am only cooking for two people, I will split this recipe between two 8x8-inch baking dishes and bake one up and freeze the other.
This is a perfect fit for a slow weekend morning served alongside fresh fruit and piping hot coffee.
The filling for this strudel can be customized according to your family's preferences. Want a vegetarian option? Just leave out the bacon. Want a meat-lover's option? Remove the vegetables and add diced ham. Personally, I love fresh veggies and herbs in this strudel: mushrooms, tomatoes, spinach, kale, sage, cilantro, basil, oregano, etc. Is there anything better than tender, juicy, falling-off-the-bones ribs? My mouth is watering just looking at this photo!
These melt-in-your-mouth cookies NEVER last long in our house!! Try eating one while it is still warm from the oven and I promise you, you will fall in love!
Most weeknights, parents look for meals that are quick to put on the table. Chili fits that bill if you use a crock-pot, allowing the soup to cook and blend its flavors all day.
To make this an even faster meal to throw together, I will often brown up a triple batch of ground beef at some point during the weekend and divide it up, into freezer bags or Tupperware containers to keep in the fridge, depending on my menu plan for that week. Then all that is required is to mix everything together in the crock-pot in the morning, turn it to low, and be ready to come home to a supper that is prepped and ready to be eaten! |
