This is one of those meals you can feel good about feeding your family. It is filling, healthy and easy to toss together. Prep it when you wake up and let it bake in the oven while in the shower!

Halloween Breakfast Casserole

Halloween Breakfast Casserole

Halloween Breakfast Casserole with creamy hash browns, cheese and topped with Canadian bacon, eggs and decorated with ketchup to create a fun and spooky breakfast.

Halloween Breakfast CasseroleThis recipe comes from Betty Crocker and is just a fun way to eat breakfast for Halloween or before a trip to the pumpkin patch or Haunted House this Fall. This recipe is pretty simple to make. The hardest part is creating the eyes. Make sure you create nice little divots/bowls with the Canadian bacon to hold the egg in place and keep an eye on the last 10 minutes cooking. You want the egg whites cooked all the way through.

Halloween Breakfast Casserole with creamy hash browns, cheese and topped with Canadian bacon, eggs and decorated with ketchup to create a fun and spooky breakfast.

  • 1 pound bag frozen, shredded hash browns
  • 1 can cream of potato
  • 8 ounces sour cream

  • 8-10 eggs
  • 8-10 slices Canadian bacon
  • salt

  2. In a large bowl, mix frozen hash browns, cream of potato soup, sour cream, cheese, and a dash of salt and pepper.
  3. Transfer to a large casserole dish.
  4. Use a spoon to make divots to place the Canadian bacon into. Just use the back of your spoon to press the hash browns down to make a little "bed" for each slice. You should be able to make 8-10 divots.
  5. Place the Canadian bacon in these divots to form a little bowl.
  6. Bake for 25 minutes.
  7. Remove from oven and crack an egg into each Canadian bacon divot/bowl you made. Be careful not to make the yolk break and to center the yolk the best you can.
  8. Bake another 30 minutes until the egg whites are completely set.
  9. Transfer some ketchup to a pastry bag with small tip or use a sandwich bag with small slit cut out to create the red of the eyes around each yolk.
  10. Serve.

Just look for the bright blue or green and yellow sponges with Scotch-Brite® Brand labeling as shown above.

Veggie Loaded Breakfast Casserole, #ExperienceScrubDots, #adVeggie Loaded Breakfast Casserole

Veggie Loaded Breakfast Casserole is really simple to make. I used a bag of has browns found in the fridge section of your grocery store, eggs and shredded cheddar cheese. I picked my fresh veggies and fruits with onion, mushrooms, green bell pepper, Roma tomato, jalapeno and avocado. I also decided to use frozen spinach, although fresh spinach would also work nicely. If you would like to swap any of the vegetables for another your family enjoys more, you absolutely can!

Place your hash browns on the bottom of your large casserole dish. A 9 x 13 pan will work great. Wash all your fruits and vegetables well and dice. The frozen spinach will need to be defrosted and the excess water removed. I place the spinach in a dish towel and squeeze the water out. On top of the hash browns, add your spinach, diced mushrooms, green bell pepper, and onion. In a medium bowl, whisk your eggs with milk and stir in shredded cheese, salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Pour egg mixture over top of hash browns.

Cover and bake for 1 hour. Before serving, add your diced tomato, sliced jalapeno and fresh avocado. A dash of hot sauce is also fantastic on top!

With all that baked on food in the casserole dish above, we are putting Scotch-Brite® Brand to the test today! I used the Scotch-Brite® Non-Scratch Scrub Dots Dishwand with my Scotch-Brite® Heavy Duty Scrub Dots Sponges on the side for any extra stubborn messes.

I soaked my casserole dish in hot water for 15 minutes and filled my wand with dish liquid. I cleaned the entire dish using only the dishwand and it came out sparkling clean!

Hello Fall!

What I love about Fall:

  • Sitting by the fire pit
  • Leggings
  • Bundling up in my favorite hoodie
  • Good-bye humidity
  • Halloween parties
  • Football
  • Pumpkin spice!

Pumpkin Crumb Muffins, pumpkin muffins, fall recipe, #fallrecipe #pumpkinThe start of September unofficially begins the Fall season to me. Fall means pumpkin spice everything! Pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spices are incredibly delicious in baked goods. Pumpkin puree can have a tendency to make baked goods slightly more dense but in a good way. These Pumpkin Crumb Muffins are still very moist and full of flavor!

Pumpkin Crumb Muffins, pumpkin muffins, fall recipe, #fallrecipe #pumpkinThis Pumpkin Crumb Muffins recipe happens to be one of my son’s favorites and from Sally’s Baking Addiction with minor changes made to the original recipe. 

If you love pumpkin spice as much as I do, you must bake these! Step up your pumpkin spice game with pairing these muffins with a Pumpkin Chai Tea Latte from Leggings ‘N’ Lattes. Delish!

Packed with nutritional ingredients like fresh blueberries, banana, oats and bananamilk to keep the family full and energized for the busy school days ahead.

Lastly, stir in the fresh blueberries and oats.

Time to bake! Fill your muffin pan and cook for 17 minutes. Let your muffins cool and serve. Try with a glass of cold Sir Bananas® Chocolate Bananamilk on the side. Chocolate bananamilk has all the goodness of regular bananamilk, but with the added deliciousness of cocoa. So crazy good!

Triple Berry Yogurt Bark

Triple Berry Yogurt Bark

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #HorizonLunch #CollectiveBias

The new school year is beginning and we are getting back in the swing of things. To make mornings a little easier, I made this delicious Triple Berry Yogurt Bark made from Horizon® Organic Yogurt, organic granola, and fresh berries.

Horizon Organic Yogurt can be found in the dairy aisle at your local Walmart within the yogurt section. Every creamy spoonful of Horizon Organic Yogurt offers live and active cultures. With 5 amazing flavors available, the uses are endless. Try them in your cereal, smoothies, place in lunchbox, serve as a yummy after school snack, or use in your favorite recipes like our Triple Berry Yogurt Bark. I strive to lead and teach my children a healthier lifestyle and this recipe helps me put us in the right direction.

The 5 amazing flavors:

  • Key Lime Yogurt Cup
  • Vanilla Yogurt Cup
  • Strawberry Yogurt Cup
  • Blueberry Yogurt Cup
  • Raspberry Yogurt Cup

For todays recipe, we are using the Vanilla, Strawberry, Blueberry and Raspberry Yogurt Cups. Although, any combination of your favorite flavors will work beautifully!

Did I mention Triple Berry Yogurt Bark is so easy to make that even your kids can whip it up? My nine year old son helped today in the kitchen for this delicious breakfast. I am a big believer that everyone should have some skill in the kitchen and getting your children to help with simple recipes like this is the perfect start to teaching them basic cooking skills.

Place parchment over a cookie sheet and spread your Horizon Organic Yogurt over top. We wanted to mix things up a bit today so we used all our favorite flavors. Cover your baking sheet with dollops of  yogurt. Grab a spatula and evenly spread the yogurt into a rectangular shape.

Next, wash your fresh, organic berries. This family loves strawberries, raspberries and blueberries so why pick just one? Spread out a cup of your fresh fruit over the Horizon Organic Yogurt, followed by some granola. Freeze for 3 hours, cut and serve.

TIP Wash berries in large bowl with a vinegar-water bath: 1 cup white vinegar to 8 cups water to kill spores #ad #HorizonLunch Click To Tweet

If you have younger children, I recommend cutting your bark into small, bite size pieces because this can get messy of it starts to melt in their little hands.

Not only does Triple Berry Yogurt Bark make a great breakfast, it also provides the perfect after school snack. Here in the Cincinnati area, school starts really early in the season. Many schools are back in session beginning of August with no air conditioning provided in the buildings. My son comes home from school drenched in sweat. To cool off, some Triple Berry Yogurt Bark is cold and fruity. Just the type of snack he needs before he sits down to do homework.

Feel free to switch things up a bit and customize to your families likings. Vanilla and Strawberry flavored Horizon Organic Yogurt with sliced strawberries or maybe a Key Lime Horizon Organic Yogurt with fresh kiwi and orange slices. You may also add a bit of honey to mix into yogurt before spreading onto the baking sheet. Delish!

Zucchini Muffins

Zucchini Muffins

It is that time of year for everything zucchini! I made these simple and delicious Zucchini Muffins from garden zucchini with a pinch of cinnamon and crunchy walnuts baked in.

Zucchini MuffinsZucchini Muffins and loaves are one of those foods that just taste like home to me. It is a comfort food for sure and really simple to make. These happen to freeze very well also. Go ahead and make a huge batch and use them for after school snacks or breakfast for the months ahead.

Freezer tip: Place the muffins on a baking sheet and set into freezer for 2 hours. Remove from freezer and place into freezer bags. They will stay good in the freezer for about 3 months. You can have them sit out and thaw until at room temperature or microwave for 30 seconds each.

Zucchini MuffinsMy mother ‘n’ law brought me over two zucchinis from her garden and these should have been entered into some sort of competition because they were the biggest zucchinis I have ever seen! I got 3 batches of muffins from a single zucchini! That isn’t typical. Normally, I would buy one or even two zucchinis for a single batch.

Feel free to add raisins or grated carrot! Both are a great addition to these Zucchini Muffins and add some extra flavor.

Zucchini MuffinsYou can also use this recipe to make a loaf of zucchini bread. Change your temperature and cook time to 325 degrees for 50-60 minutes.

Sausage French Toast Roll Ups

Sausage French Toast Roll Ups

Sausage French Toast Roll Ups with delicious sausage wrapped with French toast sprinkled with confectioners sugar and dipped in maple syrup. Great recipe for weekend morning brunch! Serve with scrambled eggs and hash browns for a completely delicious start to the morning. The whole family will thank you.

Sausage French Toast Roll UpsYou will want to brown your sausages to begin. Use a skillet or pan to get them warmed up and put some color on them. I don’t recommend simply microwaving the sausage to heat up. I have tried this and you miss out on the nice crispy outer layer that adds more texture and flavor. Follow the directions on the package to cook and then set the sausages to the side while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

Sausage French Toast Roll UpsYou can use any sort of bread you like. I just go with a cheaper, white bread. You don’t need anything fancy. Just trim off the crust and use a rolling pin to flatten out the bread. Roll up one sausage per slice of bread and dip into your egg mixture. The egg mixture is really like any French toast mix you would use: milk, eggs, sugar and cinnamon. Cook the Sausage French Toast Roll Ups in a pan in small batches with a bit of butter turning often until slightly browned and serve. Sprinkle a little confectioners sugar over top and dip into maple syrup to complete.
