Sausage, Onion & Tomato Breakfast Quiche

Sausage, Onion & Tomato Breakfast Quiche

One of my favorite pizza combinations is sausage and onion. I can thank my sister for introducing me to that one years ago! The flavors go just as well together in a breakfast quiche. I love baking these crustless quiches because any flavor combo works, and you never…

Chocolate Cinnamon Sweet Potato Waffles

Chocolate Cinnamon Sweet Potato Waffles

I warn you to be careful when these babies are cooking, because the whole house will smell delicious. And before you know it, your kitchen will be full of hungry mouths begging for some breakfast! I love chocolate and cinnamon together, and the addition of moist and…

Breakfast Muffins

Breakfast Muffins

With this recipe, I set out to create a portable breakfast item that tastes great but also packs a nutritional and protein punch. While I will happily eat reheated eggs and egg dishes on the go, my kiddos aren’t so gung-ho about it. So the breakfast muffin was…

Apple Ring Pancakes

Apple Ring Pancakes

I love experimenting with pancake flavors. In my brain, a plain ol’ pancake looks like a wonderful blank canvas. I’ve made all kinds of pancakes, from chocolate to gingerbread to banana-pecan. Then, one cold winter morning, I had some green apples in my fruit basket…

Banana nut bread

Banana nut bread

Growing up, I was extremely picky about my bananas. After long swim practices, I would only eat the bananas that had the perfect ripeness (perfect by my standards) which meant just past the green stage, but not one speck of brown. I could not fathom eating browned…

Leftover chicken scramble

Leftover chicken scramble

There always seems to be leftover chicken. Whether you are grilling in the back yard or cooking up a cooler full of chicken for your tailgate, be sure to keep those leftovers handy. This little breakfast number is fast, easy and super flavorful. Besides, nobody likes…

Ham & egg cups

Ham & egg cups

Travel friendly and super tasty, these treats often accompany me to the office or gym. They refrigerate well for days so they are a nice breakfast bite when you’re in a real pinch for time. We recommend finding a quality deli or butcher in your area when shopping for…

Breakfast egg muffins

Breakfast egg muffins

Aesthetically, you’ll want to serve these muffins shortly after removing from the oven. They will shrink up a bit and loose some of their fluffy texture once they sit out too long—kind of like soufflés! These are a perfect on-the-go meal or snack. They also work great…

Pumpkin pancakes

Pumpkin pancakes

Sometimes, life calls for some pancakes. Yes, these are paleo friendly, but if leaning out is your objective, save these for special occasions and do not make them your everyday breakfast. That said, for those mornings that do call for a little dose of comfort, whip…

Homemade breakfast sausage

Homemade breakfast sausage

I don’t know about you, but finding a good breakfast sausage in our everyday grocery store is near to impossible. Most have added nitrites or nitrates in the ingredients, or MSG, or a whopping dose of sugar. Here’s our take on making your own. It’s really quite…

Morning glory muffins

Morning glory muffins

This recipe wasn’t in any cookbook. Mom copied this one off the old sheet of paper that was passed down to her years ago. Obviously I doctored it up a bit to make it gluten free. It has brought smiles to the faces of the Mayfield household for years. I turned the…

Devilish eggs

Devilish eggs

If there was one appetizer that just had to see its way to the picnic table in the South, I would say it would be deviled eggs. The trick to these is getting the eggs just right so they peel easily and don’t have any gray/green discoloration in the middle. A quick…
