Double Cheese Bacon Pie Bacon and a double dose of cheese. It gets no better than this. Who doesn’t love cheese and bacon??? This supper or luncheon dish will satisfy the fussiest eater. Somewhat like a quiche, it’s base is a custard, but that’s where the similarity ends. The custard has a heaping helping of…
Breakfast
Chocolate Chip Muffins
Chocolate Chip Muffins Just like the bakery. Loaded with chocolate chips! I felt chocolate chip muffins today so went looking for something that was more like cake than a muffin so it’d last longer. Didn’t have to look far. Found a great recipe over on King Arthur’s site. Only thing I changed was to reduce…
Biscuits & Sausage Gravy Pot Pie
Biscuit & Sausage Gravy Pot Pie An old-time favorite in casserole form. Not unhealthy if made with reduced-fat ingredients. I have always loved this dish. However, as I aged, the fattiness tended to give me “agita” so I rarely ate it. I found a way to do it by using reduced-fat alternatives to the usual culprits….

Egg Baskets
Egg Baskets The ORIGINAL Egg McMuffin. One of my Mom’s greatest hits! A Sunday “tea” special of my Mom’s! We always ate our Sunday dinner around 1 pm when I was growing up. So we’d have a light snack around 5 or 6–like the Brits do with “tea.” As my mother was a Brit, that’s…
Easy Pumpkin Donuts
Easy Pumpkin Donuts Another fall treat! Combines two of autumn’s best-loved ingredients. Here’s another one I can make in my sleep–since I have made them so many times. I used some cider in here, merely because I had it. You can also use apple juice or water. Easy to make! Again, just as I…
Easy Apple Cider Donuts
Easy Apple Cider Donuts A fall tradition in “apple country.” Make them EASY at home! I used to be able to make these in my sleep…but of course for a while, it was my job!!! After my late husband’s open-heart surgery, I did not want to work more than 10 miles from my house–just in…
Jazzberry Smoothie
Jazzberry Smoothie Perfect breakfast or lunch for these hot summer days. We’re in the middle of a vicious heat wave here on the east coast. I was hungry but didn’t want to cook breakfast (nor lunch). Frankly, these high 90s or 100 degree temps really take the stuffing out of you. I mean who…
Savory Breakfast/Dinner Torta
Breakfast/Dinner Torta Here’s a great breakfast/dinner bake that is gluten free! Most of these “bakes” you see contain flour or Bisquick. OK I know they sell a gluten-free form of Bisquick now, but why bother? This is better!! And it’s also low carb. Unfortunately not low calorie. This pan is my Gastrolux 9.5-inch…
Sopapilla Crescents
Sopapilla Rolls A new twist on a timeless and dessert sweet. Easy too. I hadn’t thought of this dessert for ages. Then a friend posted about it on her Facebook page saying how much she enjoyed it and whenever a co-worker made it, how it would vanish into thin air immediately. Another mutual friend…
