Biscuit & Gravy Waffles

November 22, 2021 Amanda Plott

Waffles, waffles, waffles! These waffles are extra special and made with a quick and easy to make biscuit like batter and then topped off with a homemade sausage gravy that takes no time at all to come together. I saw this idea a while back and once I got my waffle maker, I knew it was going to have to be on my list of things to try out.

The biscuit waffle batter is super simple and made with just a handful of pretty standard ingredients. I went with a self-rising flour just because I happened to have it on hand and I knew that it would help fluff these waffles up in just the right way.

I kept these lightened up by swapping in unsweetened almond milk where I could and also by using a turkey breakfast sausage instead of pork. My waffle maker makes REALLY BIG waffles. About a quarter of one of these waffles could stand to be a serving, but I am completely full and satisfied with half of one of these bad-boys.

These waffles ended up crisp on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside while that sausage gravy on top was perfection to the biscuit and gravy goodness!

  4. Slowly stir in the 1 1/2 C. milk and 1 egg until just coming together.

Jalapeno Popper Egg Bites (Instant Pot)

November 13, 2021 Amanda Plott

It’s been a while since I made some faux sous vide egg bites in the pressure cooker, so I thought this weekend would be the perfect time to make some! Being as I have made so many different kinds before, I thought I’d really step outside the box to make some spicy jalapeño popper egg bites this time instead. After all, there’s nothing like a little spice to kick off your day.

These egg bites aren’t your petite little dainty ones like you buy at that popular coffee chain either. No, no. These are bigger and better. One of them is about the size of two of the ones you can buy. So one batch will be enough for breakfast all week…

Breakfast Stuffed Pumpkin

November 7, 2021 Amanda Plott

Even though Halloween is over, pumpkin season is still upon us. And I love to find creative and fun uses for pumpkins in the kitchen all the way through Thanksgiving. This Breakfast Stuffed Pumpkin would be a super fun and easy way to feed the family around the Holidays, or even as breakfast on Thanksgiving morning!

My local grocery place had pumpkins on sale for just one dollar and fifty cents, so I grabbed up one of the smaller pie pumpkins. They’re small, sweet, and meant to be used for cooking and eating unlike some of their larger cousins…

Monster Cookie Baked Oatmeal

October 31, 2021 Amanda Plott

Out of all the cookies out there, I think that monster cookies are probably my favorite. That’s probably because they have just a little bit of everything that I love. Chocolate, oats, nuts, peanut butter… they’re perfectly balance with a little sweet and a little salty. Since monster cookies already have oats in them, I thought why not put the rest of monster cookie goodness into the oats!

This Monster Cookie Baked Oatmeal is now one of my newest favorite breakfasts. It tastes just like a monster cookie but in the form of oatmeal. And who doesn’t like to find an excuse to have chocolate and candy for breakfast?…
