Homemade biscuits are a classic comfort food that many of us grew up with. I decided to add a twist to them today with bacon, cheese, and some apple too! Nothing beats the warm, flaky goodness that comes from a fresh batch straight out of the oven. Fortunately, making biscuits from scratch is a simple process that can be enjoyed by both novice and experienced bakers alike.
These Bacon Apple Cheddar Biscuits are delicious on their own, but they can also be served with a variety of toppings. Some options include scrambled eggs, bacon, ham, or cooked veggies. Consider serving biscuits with sausage gravy or alongside breakfast foods like scrambled eggs and bacon. I turned mine into a breakfast sandwich!…
Skinny Biscuits & Gravy Breakfast Casserole
Several years back I whipped up this wonderful breakfast casserole for myself for Mother’s Day. It’s so easy almost anyone could make it for the wonderful mother in their life. This breakfast (or brunch) casserole is full of the homestyle flavors of biscuits and gravy, but lightened up to give mom a guilt free meal!
Since this is an older recipe, I decided to revisit it, and wouldn’t you know it? Not far off from Mother’s Day again. It’s a happy coincidence!…
Read MoreSkinny Brunch Bake
This Skinny Brunch Bake is from some years back now and I thought it could use a bit of a facelift when it comes to the post and the images. This bake has been one of my family's traditions for when I have a lot of family come to stay over because it definitely can feed a crowd really well!
Over the past few years as the get-togethers have been hosted at my home for the most part, I've made sure to have a nice warm breakfast on the table the morning after our little sleep-over. I always like to make something simple, warm, wholesome and easy to do…
Read MoreBreakfast Biscuit Cups
It’s all about ease this week as we roll into the first of the major holidays for the season. So, in the midst of my dishwashing being repaired in my very tiny kitchen, I managed to piece together these Breakfast Biscuit Cups because… tummies still need to be fed despite holidays and last minute repair work. Look guys, I’m just really hoping that I have a working dishwasher come Thanksgiving, or we all might just be using paper plates again this year. Yes, again.
So! That tells you just how simple and easy these Breakfast Biscuit Cups are to make. These have all the major breakfast components - biscuit, bacon, egg, and cheese. That’s really all you need to get through the start of your day anyway…
Read MoreInstant Pot Chicken & Dumplings
It happens almost every year around this time. It’s still pretty hot outside and I’m over here trying to entice the cooler weather by cooking up hearty winter sort of meals. And this Instant Pot Chicken & Dumplings is one of those! I love chicken and dumplings and I will literally accept any reason at all what-so-ever to make them for dinner. So when they were brought up in passing conversation a few weeks back? I knew what I had to do. Make chicken and dumplings!
This Instant Pot version of chicken and dumplings is SUPER easy to make and can be done with no fuss and no muss - all in the pressure cooker. To start this out, you cook up the chicken on it’s own in the pressure cooker. Then you add everything else in with the drippings from that. Yes. Everything. Even the dumplings!…
Read MoreStrawberry Crunch Monkey Bread
So you know those strawberry shortcake ice creams with the crumbly bits of strawberry crunch on the outside? So I may have come across the crumbs, and yes, you can actually buy them! Now what does one do with strawberry crunch crumbs? Well, obviously make some sort of tasty strawberry sweet! That’s when the idea for this Strawberry Crunch Monkey Bread came to be.
Take it as a breakfast, brunch, or even dessert. This nostalgic twist on monkey bread has to be one of my new favorites. It’s ridiculously easy to make too, just as most monkey breads are. Now, there really wasn’t a whole lot to do in the ways of making this lightened up. But, I did sub out some of the sugars for natural sweeteners…
