**This just in, what I am calling breakfast pasta is really just carbonara. It just sounds more fun calling it bacon ‘n’ egg pasta. ————————————— Owen and I have a pretty good morning routine going for ourselves. He wakes up between 6:30 and 7:00, I feed him his oatmeal, grab a banana, and we…
Breakfast
Pumpkin Almond Craisin Granola
My granola making over the weekend was a success! I loved the way it turned out. A friend of mine has been ranting about this recipe, so I figured for my first home-made granola go, I’d give hers a try. There are a lot of ingredients that go into it, and the trip to Good…
Merry Mondays: Big, Soft Cinnamon Rolls
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas spent with the people you love! We had a slight hickup getting here, but we made it! We drove into Alamosa at 4:30am on Friday, exhausted but just happy to be with family. Santa was good to us, our 10 month old enjoyed tearing and eating wrapping paper, and playing with the toys his cousins opened more…
Grandma’s Christmas Breakfast and Christmas Morning Muffins
We are spending Christmas with my family this year in good ol’ Alamosa, Colorado. Heard of it? I didn’t think so. It’s two hours from any major city and shopping mall, and four hours from a major airport. It will most likely be 10 below zero, snowing, and windy. Jealous? I didn’t think so. Yes,…
Jelly Roll Pancakes
Brett makes these Jelly Roll Pancakes for special occasion breakfasts at our house- a slow Saturday morning with no sports, Sunday breakfast before church, or for any of our kids birthdays (it’s always their request!) They are a Denney family favorite that my mother-in-law makes for us every time we visit too (usually around…
Healthier Cinnamon Crunch Sweet Potato Muffins
I think I could eat sweet potatoes in any way, shape or form….even in a muffin. The combination of the sweet potatoes and applesauce in these made for a really, really moist muffin, and the cinnamon-sugar topping adds the perfect touch of sweetness and crunch. Nothing better than a warm…
Sheri’s Pumpkin Bread
I got this recipe from my sister-in-law The Girl Who Ate Everything. It’s a Denney family favorite, made by our mother-in-law Sheri. I’ve had her Pumpkin Bread before and it’s soo good I can’t believe I’ve never made it, or that I don’t even have the recipe on hand–especially considering my obsession with pumpkin. Rather…
Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls…..
Is there such a thing as pumpkin overdose? I might find out this holiday season because I’m searching high and low for new pumpkin recipes. These Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls from Taste of Home are the latest find. The pumpkin flavor isn’t very strong, but the caramel glaze gives them just the sweetness they need….
Cinnamon-Oat Pancakes
I’m not a big breakfast person. I’m good with a bowl of cereal, toast, or a shake. I’d much rather have the real breakfast foods, for dinner. Ya know, pancakes, waffles, french toast…that kind of stuff. Probably because I actually really like it and eat way too much, and end up feeling stuffed, slow and…
Green Smoothie
My old boss used to come into work almost every morning with this funky-looking green drink. It took me a few months of working there to finally ask, “What the heck are you drinking?” When he told me it was full of spinach, I almost gagged. But he told me how nutritious it was, and…
