So – Pumpkin Pie for Breakfast? WHY NOT, especially when the “Pie” you are eating is filled with healthy, hearty oats! If you are a fan of Oatmeal, I know that you will love this baked oatmeal. This can be made over the weekend, cut …
Pancakes are a fantastic, amazing, delicious, yummy breakfast, but they involve a bit of hands-on time and attention to make them perfect and avoid burning. I figured that there had to be an easier way to get the delicious flavor of a pancake without …
Sometimes cooking for a crowd can be a bit overwhelming, but if you plan ahead – cooking for a dozen can be as easy as cooking for two if you just put a bit of thought and planning into it! Breakfast is one of those difficult meals because you want it to be delicious but at the same time easy (who wants to spend hours in the kitchen first thing in the morning, especially if you have guests).
One of my favorite quick/easy/amazing breakfast recipes I have made is my Crock Pot Breakfast Casserole (now a favorite at my school’s weekly breakfast club – even with the horrible photos I have here, people still make it and make it look much better). Recently though, Rich’s parents were up to visit. I had already made them the Crock Pot Breakfast and wanted to try something different.

Valentines Day is a day for sharing your love with others. Historically, the origins of Valentines Day is not known with 100% certainty, but most likely it is because of a guy named Valentine who fought for love! There are two common stories: either he was a priest who wanted young soldiers to be able to be married OR he was sentenced to death and wrote a letter to a girl signed “from your Valentine”. (read more at the History Channel) Either way – Valentines Day got its start and in the mid 1800’s a woman began selling the first commercially made Valentines Cards and from there Hallmark has taken over & we have to celebrate Valentines Day!
One of the most common ways (in the United States) to celebrate Valentines Day is with Chocolates & Jewelry & Flowers & Pampering. Many couples feel extreme pressure to make a big deal about Valentines Day. I personally would rather Rich show me his love the other 364 Days and not just on Valentines Day, but pampering on random days throughout the whole year is nice!
