It's National Waffle Day, and I had an idea for a great new waffle, full of flavor yet very simple to make. Many moons ago, when I was in college, I worked at a mom-and-pop breakfast diner whose specialty was pancakes and waffles. Their waffles were light and fluffy with a crispy crust that soaked …

Cranberry Eggnog Biscotti
In full on cooking mode earlier in the month, I needed to take a dish to a meeting for a pot luck lunch. The problem was I needed to leave the house for another meeting at 9 am in the morning, and lunch was at noon. I usually like to take savory foods to pot …
Christmas Breakfast – Tablescape and Recipes
I have another tablescape today and two special breakfasts for the holiday. This is really the most fun time of year for special meals and pampering those we love. Starting out with the stoneware Christmas plates, I set a table with a plaid tablecloth. These plates are used a lot this month, and each one …

Cinnamon Egg Nog French Toast
Last holiday season, I had some egg nog left over after Christmas. I wanted to do something special for a New Year's day breakfast and just thought eggs, french toast, why not try using the egg nog? Of course, knowing that DH is a cinnamon hound, it wasn't hard to figure out what to add. …
Blueberry Breakfast Cake
It's the first day of spring, so we are ready for a fresh breakfast cake, perfect with a cup of coffee. I had blueberries and a lemon, and set to work creating a recipe for a light and lovely coffee cake. It would be lovely as dessert too. Something with blueberries and a hint of …
Valentine Decorating
Valentine hearts finally came out over the weekend. I haven't done anything new quilt-wise for Valentine this year, unless you want to count the red and cream Scrap Dance Waltz. But I did put up a couple of things from years past. The pink candles came out to replace the Winter White of January. I …
November Breakfast
Thanksgiving morning means a nice breakfast while watching the parade in my jammies. With a large meal later in the day, and sometimes snacks during football games, breakfast needs to be nice but not over filling. I do enjoy making the overnight egg casserole in a small baking dish, just enough for two. Sometimes DH …
Valentine Projects
I have been so involved with the mystery quilt, finishing some charity quilts, and a quilted art project I'll be sharing soon, that I haven't done anything new for Valentine's Day this year. I did bring out the wall hangings and decorations, and I'll give you some links to where these were done last year …
Halloween Breakfast
We are going to have some fun today, the car club is having a costume drive. Before we leave, we are having a Halloween breakfast to set the right mood for the morning. I set the table with some fun Halloween things, starting with a wall hanging that I am using as a table topper. …
Gardening Rabbits Tablescape
I just love this tablescape! I was gathering some pretty things for the table, and I really wanted some springtime colors. So much of my tablescaping in the past has been in the cooler months. Seems I like to do more nesting when it is cooler. But, I saw these in a catalog, and I …
