Coconut Pineapple Dutch Baby

Posted on May 3, 2012 by Kelly

I’m excited to share this recipe with you because it’s an excellent option if you’re thinking about serving a special breakfast on Mother’s Day. Instead of taking the usual route with ordinary pancakes, eggs and bacon, try something new and indulgent. Dutch Baby is easy to make and it’s a tasty and creative recipe. (more…)

Asparagus and Goat Cheese Tart

Posted on March 27, 2012 by Kelly

I know we’ve spoken about one of the best restaurants in Chicago numerous times…but here we go again. Milk & Honey is my favorite breakfast place by far…and they make an excellent lunch too! Whenever we go to Milk & Honey, Kara always orders a tart made with ricotta cheese from the case of baked goodies. I’ve never tried this tart before because my attention is always focused on the enormous stacks of pancakes. Or the french toast.

Cinnamon Sugar Marshmallow Crescent Roll Cupcakes

Posted on March 16, 2012 by Kara

I am going to take a little walk down memory lane today. Indulge me. When I was in junior high we had to take home economics for 1 quarter. Lets just say that the junior high Kara was not the baker/cook/seamstress that the current day Kara is. I remember for one of our sewing projects we had to make either an Esprit style bag or a duffel bag. For whatever reason, I chose duffel. Yeah, that was a disaster! Ha, I am pretty sure that someone else completed that project for me. I wish I could show you some of my college sewing projects. Ha! What a laugh! Anyway, one of the cooking projects we made in home-ec were these crescent roll cupcakes. I remember in junior high thinking they were just the best thing ever! 4 years later when Kelly was in junior high, Mrs. Shetzley’s home-ec class was still cranking them out.

English Muffin Bread

Posted on March 14, 2012 by Kara

Can you believe how beautiful the weather is right now? I remember before winter the weathermen were predicting that this was going to be the worst winter we have had in awhile. Yet it turned out to be the best winter! Unless, you like the snow and cold weather? Then I guess it wasn’t so good. As I am writing this post the sun is shining through the window and I wish I could go for a run instead of writing! I’m going to make this quick and hopefully I can do both.

Energy Bites

Posted on March 12, 2012 by Kara

I have long been a fan of granola bars. I am not much of a breakfast person but I grew up on Quaker Chewy Granola Bars. I try not to eat those anymore. I try to make my own granola bars. I like having more control of what goes into my food. But, I must admit that store bought granola bars are very convenient. When I make my own granola bars I have to buy all sorts of ingredients, mix together the batter, cook them, wait for them to cool, cut them, and portion them out. They taste WAY better then the store bought ones but I don’t always have time for all that. These energy bites are the perfect combination of tasty and convenient.
