Breakfast Favorites

Hi Reader,

Whether you're looking for a special breakfast this weekend - or want to make our family's favorite breakfast for dinner, here are a few of my favorite breakfast recipes!


"I’ve loved waffles since I was a child. This recipe comes as close to mom’s recipe ( which was never written anywhere) that I have found. Delish!" ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"The best I’ve made from scratch! I’ve tried many recipes, all similar to this one but using buttermilk instead of the 2% milk I had on hand. 2% will be my go to going forward. The biscuits had good rise which I’m particularly excited about as I struggled to get this result with buttermilk recipes. Super tasty, super simple. Thanks for sharing your recipe." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"I have used this recipe often! Is a great quick but very tasty coffee cake. My family loves it." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"So easy and super yummy." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"This is delicious! I made the recipe as written. Will make again!" ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Simple, wonderful, delicious! Takes me back to my childhood! I absolutely adore the little square recipe from your grandmother’s recipe box!" ❤️❤️❤️

"The egg casserole was delicious! Wonderful recipe!" ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


Favorite Comment This Week

Made this today for Fathers Day with a small alteration. I used a super moist French Vanilla cake mix and I only had unsalted butter. Turned out absolutely delicious! Family said they loved it! - Jamie after making Cherry Dump Cake

Enjoy your time in the kitchen!
