If pop tarts and toaster strudels had a baby, these cinnamon peach strudels would be it, and man are they delicious! I had some overly ripe peaches and nectarines that my family had decided would rot in the fridge because they were too soft and I decided to rescue them by making these tasty peach strudels! They are easy and so perfect for summer whether you eat them plain or warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Do yourself a favor and make these delicious cinnamon peach strudels with a vanilla peach glaze the next time you grab some peaches.
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!

This version of a traditional breakfast taco is loaded with chorizo, eggs with salsa verde, and cheesy goodness all packed into a baked crispy tortilla.

This recipe for my crispy baked chorizo salsa verde breakfast tacos is going to become a favorite breakfast to enjoy at home or on the go.
Up your breakfast game with these delicious raspberry muffins. Muffins are one of those go-to make ahead breakfast or snack items that I love to make because they store so well and the whole family loves them. I love using all types of berries in muffins, but I am all about raspberries and their slight tartness that they give the muffins. That tartness and the subtle hint of almond extract and a crumbly topping makes these muffins as good as your favorite local bakery muffins. This recipe for raspberry almond streusel muffins is one that you are going to want to make on repeat.

Spring has sprung and it’s one of my favorite times of year when the weather is beginning to get warm and the produce starts to really get good before summer. I feel like my mindset shifts from cozy winter meals to wanting bright and refreshing recipes that are still satisfying! I’ve rounded up my top 30 Spring Recipes that are perfect for this time of year!
Carrot cake is one of those classic Springtime desserts that everyone loves.

Pumpkin tends to get all of the love at this time of year, but apples deserve their own time in the spotlight if you ask me. There are so many varieties of apples out there, but one of my favorite to bake with happen to be granny smith apples. I love the slight tartness that they bring to a recipe and they are perfect for muffins as well. There is nothing that smells much better than fresh muffins baking in the oven, and these definitely do not disappoint. This recipe for apple cinnamon streusel muffins is sure to become one of your favorite fall muffin recipes.
Zucchini is the vegetable that I find everyone one ends up having an abundance of in their fridge in the summertime. Whether you picked some up at your local farmer’s market or grew it yourself in the garden, zucchini seems to be the vegetable that everyone has on hand right now. Beyond using it as is or in savory dishes, I love grating it up into my baked goods too. Zucchini is one of those vegetables that doesn’t have a ton of flavor so you can get away with tucking into baked goods, smoothies, and more! This recipe for chocolate chip zucchini muffins is going to quickly become your new favorite summer muffin recipe.
Smoothies are one of those things that we tend to make more of in the summer months. When it’s hot outside, sometimes all you want is something cold and nourishing. I love that I can pack my smoothies with good for you ingredients and that they always taste delicious too. I tend to use fruit that is in season and buy it in bulk and then freeze some of it when it gets perfectly ripe and sweet. Peaches are particularly great for this because they ripen so quickly. This recipe for my strawberry and peach smoothie tastes like a milkshake, I kid you not, and you are going to love making it all summer long!

Jambalaya is a classic Cajun dish that is full of flavor and one of my favorite rice dishes to enjoy. Typically it is served at dinnertime and sometimes can be tricky to get the rice just right. Lucky for you, I have a shortcut way to enjoy jambalaya any time of day thanks to the help of my friends at Tony Chachere’s.

Let’s just call January a wash shall we? It was a transition month where we all found ourselves easing into a new year and maybe we hit our new years goals, orrrr maybe we didn’t or haven’t yet. In my case, I didn’t and honestly didn’t even try to start, so I am starting fresh in February! I am not a huge fan of new years resolutions, but I do love a good reset when I find I need it and I’m at that point where I need to go a couple of weeks of eating super clean. I created this 7-Day Meal Healthy Meal Plan to help us all get a little inspired to eat a little more mindful without sacrificing any flavor!

This is a granola unlike any other granolas. This pepita granola is one that I originally made to go on top of a fall chicken salad, but because of it’s popularity, I decided that it needed to have it’s own special space for you to reference. And if you are thinking “granola on a salad?” I would say, don’t knock it until you try it! It’s actually quite the combo and provides the perfect little crunch and slight sweetness that takes your salad to the next level. Of course if you are a granola purist, and simply want to eat granola for breakfast or a snack, that clearly works too…which is why I decided to give this granola it’s very own post. This recipe for the best pepita granola will have you wanting to make a new batch to have on hand every single week.
Skillet cakes are my jam. You basically throw all ingredients into a pan, into the oven and viola…magic happens. There is no layering or dividing the batter, just mix and dump into the skillet! You already know that any recipe that I end up baking is guaranteed to be simple enough for even the most inexperienced baker. We recently went blackberry picking and came home with a huge bucket full of delicious blackberries. While we ate most of them like candy, I saved a few to make this delicious skillet cake that could easily be turned into a breakfast cake with coffee or could be topped with a little ice cream for a summer time dessert. My blackberry cornmeal skillet cake is everything you want in a summer dessert and you are going to love baking it up all season long.
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!
I grew up in Tennessee and homemade biscuits were something that were weekend regulars at breakfast time. If you grew up in the south too, a good biscuit was probably a part of your childhood memories as well and maybe even if you didn’t grow up in the south! There really isn’t anything quite like a warm biscuit spread with a butter and a little jam or honey fresh out of the oven to start the day. I can’t really think of anything better to add to a brunch menu than homemade biscuits and if you are planning a nice stay at home Mother’s Day brunch, then these biscuits would be just perfect! While it took me years of being adult to actually start making my own biscuits, now that I do I see just how easy it really is and I can’t wait to show you how to do it too. Easy homemade biscuits will have you channeling your inner Ina (or in my case my Great Aunt Blanche) and they will come out perfect every single time.
When the world feels chaotic, my kitchen is a place where I find calm and comfort. Baking in particular is a place to go when I need to rest my brain and ground myself. There is something about perfectly measuring, pouring, mixing, and smelling the delicious comforting smells wafting through the house that is exactly what I need when I am feeling a bit of anxiety creeping in. Loaf breads are always my go-to method of baking because I always have ingredients on hand to whip some sort of variety that never disappoints. My blueberry muffin bread is just the sort of recipe to bring a bit of comfort when you need it most and makes for a delicious breakfast with a cup of coffee to start the day of right.
Citrus season is one of the gifts of winter that keeps me hanging in there until summertime rolls around again. I love that during the dreariest and chilliest part of the year, that citrus can give any dish a bit of brightness. I also don’t think its coincidence that citrus is loaded with Vitamin C when our bodies need it most. One of my favorite citrus of the season is grapefruit. I have so many memories growing up eating grapefruit sprinkled with sugar and sharing a half with my mom. It’s still one of my favorite ways to eat it, so I took that same idea and turned it into a fun new way to enjoy grapefruit as a complete meal for breakfast. My broiled grapefruit, yogurt, and granola bowls are so delicious and healthy and you will love adding them into your breakfast rotation for a little something different.
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!
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.
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!
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!
Pop tarts are a nostalgic breakfast item from childhood that everybody loves. Whether you are team brown sugar or strawberry, one thing is for sure, pop tarts will bring you right back to when you were a kid. I created these strawberry almond pop tart bars to pay homage to a childhood favorite, with an adult palate in mind. These strawberry almond pop tart bars so good and are perfect for breakfast or as a dessert.
