An enchilada is Mexican cuisine and can be filled with various ingredients including meats, cheese, beans, potatoes, vegetables or combination. The filling which I usually cooked for breakfast is with Scrambled eggs, breakfast sausage, green chile, cheese with soft tortillas. It makes perfect sense that when you layer them all together you’d get a delicious one-pan meal. Enchilada sauces include chili-based sauces such as tomato...
In a perfectly-timed coincidence, I found a forgotten package of little smokies in the depths of my freezer the day before Monet posted her Cheddar and Sausage Biscuits. As soon as I saw that combination, I knew that my boys would adore them. I made these for lunch today, planning to freeze the remaining ones. I thought it would be a great snack to keep in the freezer for the kids. Well, the boys liked them so much, there are just a few in...
“Like pumpkin pie in a bowl, with nuts and milk too” was the verdict as my boys ate this breakfast. Steel cut oats are perfect for this dish. Just slightly chewy, with their nutty flavor, the oats complimented the pumpkin and cream wonderfully. With generous amounts of all the spices that remind me of fall, this oatmeal smelled wonderful as it was baking. Check out all of our Oatmeal Recipes!Get New Recipessent to your inbox!Sign...
Inspired by all of the baked egg recipes I’ve seen recently, this is my simplified version. I do realize that baked eggs are neither complicated or all that time-consuming. However, in the mornings, I typically want to spend less than 10 minutes pulling our early morning meals together. I had half a quart of Thyme Marinara Sauce left over from lunch the day before, so this was the perfect opportunity to try this combination for...
Here the breakfast hash combinations recipe. Roasted potatoes that are crisp on the outside and tender inside, tossed into a skillet with piping hot crisp vegetables and whichever meat or bean sounds good at the moment. Served just as often for breakfast as for dinner, hash is a lousy name for one of my favorite foods and I serve it at least a couple times every month. I made this meal a few nights ago and fell in love with sweet potatoes all...
German Pancakes are one of our favorite weekend breakfasts. A cross between a souffle and an omelet, this version is loaded with tart cranberries and almonds and then drizzled with a sweet orange sauce. While German Pancakes look and taste like a fancy breakfast, they require less effort than traditional pancakes. Simply whisk the ingredients together, pour into a hot buttered pan, bake and serve. While they are baking,...
Fluffy omelets stuffed with salty bacon, tender mushrooms, roasted green chile and cheese are the best possible way to start the weekend. Lazy Saturday mornings are usually my favorite days to play in the kitchen. Even better are the times when I lie on the couch reading for a few hours too long and then Sean heads to the kitchen to cook. I’d already made the kids the oatmeal they requested. So, it was fun to relax and...
As much as my boys love oatmeal, they love hot rice cereal almost as much.Tender brown rice with sweet apricots and honey simmered in milk is a breakfast that I would happily eat every week. The apricots add a great deal of sweetness to this dish that balances the heartier brown rice nicely. I try to make rice cereal with brown rice when possible. (I typically cook the rice the night before and then store it in the fridge...
Strawberry Pineapple Crepes with Cardamom Cream is what happens when I’m left with extra pineapples in the house along with a kitchen filled with the aroma of cardamom. The cardamom fragrance was the result of a small spill and I have to admit that I didn’t mind that at all. I adore cardamom, it is my favorite new spice find this year. I’ve put cardamom in ginger spice carrot cake cookies, hot buttered rum, hot buttered rum...
Hot pinto beans, green chile sauce, warm scrambled eggs, jalapenos and melted cheese are piled on top of a layer of crisp tortilla chips. While the combination might sound bizarre initially, it was an excellent way to satisfy our craving for a spicy hot breakfast. The nachos were an enormous hit with my whole family. My favorite part? The whole meal came together in less than 20 minutes.Inspired by a craving for huevos...
