Find refreshment for your heart, home and life
While on the hunt for healthy alternatives for some of my favorite breakfast foods, I found the delicious Three-Ingredient Pancakes that I shared here recently. I have made them several times and swoon at their texture and flavor!
Then my daughter told me about making a quiche and swapping out the caloric crust for a tortilla shell! I buy the La Banderita Carb Counter tortillas and they are super low in calories, so I knew they would be a good choice for my “crust.”
My breakfast routine for about five days of the week is Greek yogurt, fruit and granola. l eat the Oikos yogurt because it has 15 grams of protein and keeps my sugar from dropping. I eat this menu because it’s delicious, and also healthy.
But there are days when I would love to enjoy a pancake, but cringe at starting the day with lots of calories. Then I tried a three-ingredient pancake recipe that was absolutely delicious, and my breakfast menu now has a whole new entry!
Continue reading “Three-Ingredient Pancakes”If you love pancakes, but hate standing there taking the time to pour and flip them one at a time, then the recipe I’m sharing today for German Pancakes is going to make your heart happy! These are made in muffin tins and baked in the oven. They puff up and turn into the perfect little “bowl” for a Blueberry sauce to get spooned into! It couldn’t be easier or more delicious!
Mini German Pancakes
1 cup milk
6 eggs
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. orange zest (optional)
1/4 cup butter, melted
I made a blueberry sauce that was so simple – 1/3 C sugar and 1 Tbl cornstarch in a sauce pan. Add 1 cup water and mix with whisk. Add 1 Cup blueberries and cook until thickened.
These would make a great breakfast for Easter morning! Add some bacon or Canadian bacon and a cup of coffee and juice, and you’d have a delicious menu to prepare you and your family to worship at Easter services!
Refresh your breakfast with this easy/delicious pancake!
I recently had the blessing of having my daughters over for a leisure Saturday breakfast. We are all “foodies.” Google defines a foodie as “one who has refined interest in food!” Our belief is that we don’t want to just eat something – we want it to be delicious. Mealtime is an event! I wanted to make it a little special!
I looked through my recipe index here on my blog, and when I saw this Buttermilk Blueberry Breakfast Cake recipe, I knew it would be the perfect addition to the rest of the meal. I wanted savory and sweet, and this was a nice addition to the egg dish I was making. This cake is fluffy, moist and full of flavor.
Here was my menu:
Baked Quiche
Grits
Buttermilk Blueberry Coffee Cake
Fresh Fruit with yogurt and Peanut Butter Granola
Fried apples – soft, sweet, and perfect for breakfast or supper. One of my favorite comfort foods at home and at Cracker Barrel is Pinto Beans (you can find the copy cat Cracker Barrel Beans here), fried potatoes, and fried apples. But I also love to have cooked apples with eggs and a biscuit!
My husband recently invited all our church deacons for breakfast and my menu included Hash Brown Bake, French Breakfast Puffs , Pecan Pie Muffins and Fried Apples. I needed quite a lot of apples for the group, so I wanted to cook them in the crock pot so I wouldn’t have to fuss over them on the stove. This method was so simple and absolutely delicious! They tasted every bit as good as Cracker Barrel’s!
