I don't know if it is just my household, but we get into culinary trends. My husband tried braising meats late in the spring, and ever since then it has been his go-to dish. Not that I'm complaining. Braising produces such a wonderfully tender meat and makes the house smell incredible. Since his first foray into braising, we have had many wonderful dinners of beef, lamb, and pork.
My recent culinary trend has been caramelizing. I have made caramelized onions, bananas, and squash, among other ingredients. For a weekend breakfast for two, I decided to make caramelized apples to top French

Great Grandma’s Coffee Cake

On Saturday morning our two daughters weren't home as they were having a special girls only sleepover at their aunt and uncle's house. My husband decided to take our two sons fishing at a local pond, and I chose to stay home and make a special breakfast for the four of us.
With only boys and me at home, I decided to make coffee cake. Neither of the girls really like coffee cake, but the boys enjoy it, so it was the perfect morning to make this dish. Flipping through my personal collection of recipes, I found the recipe my mom

Breakfast is a popular meal in our house. Requests vary from savory items, such as cheesy grits or omelets, to sweet items, such as cinnamon rolls and scones. The amount of time available to make breakfast also helps to determine what will be made.
This past weekend both my husband and I were craving something sweet. However, I didn't feel like spending lots of time in the kitchen or making a batch of baked goods when only the two of us were home. And pancakes are made fairly frequently for the kids, so I was seeking something

Any Day Pancakes

Although the most frequently requested breakfast in our house is a batch of scones, the schedule of my mornings doesn't allow for that on weekdays or busy weekends. However, I always have time to make homemade pancakes.
This pancake recipe is so simple you never will need to buy boxed pancake mix again. With only seven ingredients that are baking staples, they are quite simple to make. The pancakes have a delicious vanilla flavor, and the batter can be made thicker or thinner depending on your preference.

Leftover St. Pat’s Hash
by TT on March 27th, 2009 | Breakfast Dishes, Recipes
Most of my family likes corned beef. So, when I purchase it for our St. Patrick's Day dinner, I purchase more than will be eaten at that meal. Depending on the amount we have left, it can be used to make sandwiches or hash or just eaten plain.
As all of the leftover corned beef wasn't eaten by Saturday morning, I decided to use it for breakfast. We also had leftover cooked potatoes from our St. Pat's dinner, so making hash and eggs seemed like the perfect way to feed the family and clean out the fridge. Plus, with almost unlimited
