Gingerbread Waffles

December 13, 2021 Amanda Plott

I’ve been using the hell out of waffle maker ever since I got it. I’m sort of in love with the idea of making everything into a waffle at this point, and gingerbread was not about to escape! These Gingerbread Waffles are easy to make with the help of some waffle mix, molasses, and gingerbread spices to boot. They are perfectly gingerbread flavored without being over powering and make for the best festive breakfast option during the holidays!

Being as these are made with a mix, the only thing you can really do here to lighten them up is potion control. My waffle iron makes big giant Belgian style waffles that take a full cup of batter to make. I was able to get 4 large waffles out of what I made and half of one of these waffles is plenty for me…

Breakfast Twice Baked Potato

December 10, 2021 Amanda Plott

Who says you can’t have a baked potato for breakfast? This potato is baked twice over and loaded with the breakfast favorites of bacon, egg, and cheese! They’re great for mornings when you want a nice hearty and filling breakfast, but don’t have a lot of time on your hands since these can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge until you’re ready for the second and final bake.

It’s super easy to double up the recipe to have enough to feed a crowd with minimal effort or hands on time when it comes to cooking…

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!

Healthy Banana Bread

October 25, 2021 Amanda Plott

I had no idea that I had never posted a banana bread. Honestly! Banana bread is a family favorite and a staple of this house, so how in the world I never managed to put one here is beyond me. Perhaps I thought it was so common for me that I had already created the recipe? I’m not sure.

Problem? Solution.

Here it is! One of the great things about banana bread is that it uses up those over-ripe leftover bananas that we ALL have hanging around. And, it’s rather versatile! Feeling nutty? Add in some nuts. In an extra ‘dirty’ mood? Toss in some chocolate chips…

Caramel Apple Monkey Bread

October 19, 2021 Amanda Plott

Was bobbing for apples ever really a thing? I know caramel apples are, but I can’t say that I have ever, or would ever, stick my head in a bucket of water to try and fish out an apple by way of my mouth. So, caramel apples it is! This Caramel Apple Monkey Bread is a great way to sneak some caramel apple into your morning.

A bright crisp green apple that’s baked right into some sugary biscuit goodness and topped off with a quick homemade caramel sauce. It’s sort of perfect for a chilly Fall morning, don’t you think? Plus, there’s no bobbing or water buckets involved so it’s a win-win…

Mini Air-Fryer Breakfast Tacos

September 15, 2021 Amanda Plott
mini-air-fryer-tacos6.jpg

My week is a little chaotic. Okay, more than a little. But that doesn’t mean that I’m skipping out on breakfast. After waking up at 5 AM, taking my little to cheer practice, walking for an hour, then feeding 30+ cheerleaders their breakfast, that’s when it’s time for my breakfast. And since I’ve been in a savory breakfast kind of mood, I thought some breakfast tacos sounded perfect.

These Mini Air-Fryer Breakfast Tacos are where it’s at. They’re crispy, and cheesy, and delicious. Of course I’m always looking for an excuse to use these mini street taco tortillas too. I left these tacos about as simple as they could be with all the fan favorites of bacon, egg, cheese, and some pico…
