Egg, Sausage, and Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole

Breakfast casseroles are one of those dishes that come in handy for meal prep and when you have guests that will be staying in your house. Whenever I need to feed a crowd for breakfast, this casserole is my go-to recipe. What I love most about it, is that I can prep the ingredients the day before and have breakfast in the oven before my guests even wake up, leaving me time to sip coffee and visit while it bakes! ( #winning ) While there are an endless variety of breakfast casseroles out there, this is one that has been in my family for forever and though I might be biased, I truly think it’s the best! My egg, sausage, and hash brown casserole is a crowd pleaser every time and couldn’t be any easier to make!

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!

Healthy Spiced Pumpkin Bread

The official first day of fall is almost here and I am ready for all the fall recipes to go down in my kitchen. Pumpkin bread always seems like a good place to start when it comes to fall baking and I realized that I had never shared my go-to recipe that is healthy and delicious. (That obviously has to change right?) Pumpkin bread is one of those things that I look forward to every year and there is nothing better than the smell of warm spices baking in your oven! Aside from the perks of having your house smell like your favorite fall candle, but way better, I also like making my own pumpkin bread at home because I get to make a healthier version of my favorite fall bread. My healthy spiced pumpkin bread is a must make this season and you will love how simple the recipe is too!

Healthier Chocolate Zucchini Donuts

My kiddo happens to be a donut lover. It’s the one thing he can’t resist and asks for whenever we are out and about and they are available. Of course the occasional donut indulgence is fine, but when you can make your own at home and the ingredients are all good ones, you don’t have to feel bad about serving them up to your kids any day of the week! With the end of summer approaching at a rapid pace, I find that everyone I know has a ton of zucchini in their fridge and I know I am always looking for recipes to use up my zucchini in new ways! My healthier chocolate zucchini donuts are perfect for a healthy and fun breakfast and they happen to be loaded with all the good stuff!
