Air Fryer Donuts

Easy Air Fryer Biscuit Donuts

If you have ever wanted to make homemade donuts but don’t want to deal with the mess of actually frying donuts and making a homemade dough, this recipe is for you! Using a can of store bought biscuits and utilizing your air fryer, making donuts has never been easier. An air fryer creates the perfect environment to create a donut that gets golden on the outside while remaining tender on the inside. These easy air fryer biscuit donuts are so simple yet delicious, and they will become one of your favorite breakfast treats that the whole family can enjoy.

Easy Waffles From Scratch

Easy Waffles from Scratch

Breakfast is my family’s favorite meal of the day. They like to eat it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, so any time of the day breakfast is a go around here. Matter of fact, we just had waffles last night for dinner and they were delicious. Every week I make a batch of my favorite waffles, usually on the weekend, because they freeze wonderfully and make for easy breakfasts all week long. I don’t know why I have never shared this recipe with y’all, because it is seriously the easiest and tastiest waffle recipe out there and the one I have been making for years. The only special equipment needed is obviously a waffle maker, which I highly recommend adding into your kitchen appliances if you don’t have one already. My easy waffles from scratch will have you wondering why you ever bought frozen waffles because they are just that simple and tasty!

Easy Pantry Staple Meals

Being able to create meals from pantry staples has always been something that I think everyone should learn to get comfortable doing, but now more than ever we are all hitting up our pantries to create meals for our families more regularly while we try and keep our grocery store runs to a minimum. That means thinking outside the box to provide a little variety to our families while using things like canned tomatoes, beans, pastas, and other canned goods we have on hand. I am breaking down the most common pantry items and giving you some recipe ideas for each so that you can continue to feed your family delicious food while staying home and using ingredients that are in your pantry and fridge. I am listing up my favorite easy pantry meals by category of the top pantry ingredients to get you cooking in the kitchen!

Key Lime Poppy Seed Muffins

Hello March! I am welcoming a new month with open arms and some delicious muffins that are giving me all the Spring feels! I forgot how much I enjoy a poppy seed muffin until I was playing around with this recipe and ended up creating the most delicious muffin! Typically you see lemon with poppy seed in a recipe, but I am here to tell you that key limes are an amazing substitute for the traditional lemon flavor! Key limes are a bit more tart than a traditional lime and are so fun to use in recipes, not to mention they are adorable too! I love baking a batch of muffins for the week for easy breakfasts and snacks and these do not disappoint. While I am traditionally more of a blueberry or chocolate chip muffin kind of gal, these muffins just might have converted me. My key lime poppy seed muffins are definitely one to add into your muffin rotation and I can guarantee your whole family will approve!

Cranberry Egg Nog Scones

Scones are one of my favorite occasional breakfast indulgences. I don’t usually make them unless we have company coming over or there is a special occasion, and I am not sure why because they really couldn’t be any simpler to make. Have you ever been intimidated to make scones at home? If this rings true, I am here to change that mindset for you with one of the simplest scone recipes out there! With a little help from one of my seasonal favorites, egg nog, this recipe could not be any easier to whip up! My cranberry egg nog scones are perfect for any holiday baking that you might be doing and you will love how quickly you can make homemade scones right in your own kitchen.

Veggie Loaded Egg and Bacon Breakfast Paninis

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and yet more times than not we end up neglecting it because of busy mornings, which leads to grabbing a less than filling and healthy option on the way out the door. Thats why I have started meal prepping breakfast options on Sundays to ensure that we start our day the right way all week long. Breakfast paninis are great for meal prepping because you can add whatever ingredients you have on hand and they store in the freezer or the refrigerator perfectly. Not only are these paninis great for meal prepping, but they are also great for weekend breakfasts while entertaining family and friends, especially with the holidays right around the corner because you can batch cook them. (Hello, easy recipe!) My veggie loaded egg and bacon breakfast paninis are packed with hearty ingredients to nourish you and are the perfect solution to making sure you start your day out the right way!
