Motherhood is a marathon. Enjoy the run.
We love pancakes around here. Every now and then, I find myself experimenting with a new recipe, adding less wheat germ, or more baking powder, more oats, less flour......you get the idea. The boys and I loved these pancakes, whose recipe I only tweaked slightly from this one, so much, that I had to share with you. We love to use real butter and either local, raw, unfiltered honey or pure … [Read more...]
I found this recipe on Pinterest and it's one of my favorites now! I adapted the recipe from this one and it's so good!! We already loved blueberry muffins, and this is delicious, too! And who doesn't love cake for breakfast!?! … [Read more...]
Unbelievably delicious and SO nutritious, this smoothie can completely replace a breakfast or lunch! Or, enjoy as a mid-day pick-me-up,energizing kind of snack. We love to make a pitcher full at lunch or mid-afternoon just before soccer or baseball practice. Picky eaters? This is the perfect smoothie for sneaking in raw spinach or fruits they don't normally eat, carrots, cabbage, you … [Read more...]
I've experimented with biscuit recipes for a very long time now. There's just something about a homemade biscuit that's special. A good, fluffy, soft biscuit tastes like home. I like this other buttermilk recipe that's pretty good, too, but this one is my new favorite! My good bloggy friend Candace at Sacred Mommyhood shared it with me a while back, promising it is the perfect biscuit … [Read more...]
These biscuits are the perfect match for chocolate gravy. Or regular gravy. Or scrambled eggs. Or use them for making bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches. We ate them like this for breakfast this morning: … [Read more...]
We love waffles, but eat them far less regularly than we do pancakes. And I"m not sure why. They're actually just as easy to make with my neat little waffle iron. I almost always make plain waffles and then also some blueberry waffles - especially for Nolan, who is a big blueberry fan. I use the same recipe as I do for pancakes, but am careful not to add too much milk, since batter for … [Read more...]
Pin It There are no words to describe this granola except delicious! Or maybe... Um, can I have some more, please? As you probably already know, I'm a big fan of granola. Granola for cereal. Chocolate granola bars. Peanut butter granola bars. Granola energy balls. And I like the recipe even more when it's a no-bake recipe like the ones above. So, I admit … [Read more...]
These sausage balls are so simple to make, and really yummy, too! I'm normally not a big fan of sausage, but these are a fun treat for every once in a while. Served with fruit salad and maybe a carrot zucchini muffin, they make a great breakfast! One batch makes about two dozen - perfect for a party tray, or in our case, a snack for several boys. I'm planning on keeping this on my list … [Read more...]
These are just the cutest little breakfast bites ever! The perfect size for three-year-old hands, and enticing enough for teenagers, they're loved by ALL our boys. I don't make them often, since the ingredients are less than "whole food" standard, but for a special treat now and then, I serve them to my hungry bunch. And as always, with any processed meats that may contain … [Read more...]

As a homeschooling mom of eight boys, I find lots to talk about, including the challenges and beauty of this amazing season of motherhood. It is indeed a marathon. Thanks for joining me!
