COFFEE-MATE® has NEW unique flavors including COFFEE-MATE® Coconut Caramel Latte Liquid Coffee Creamer. Also look for these flavors and think beyond the coffee mug:

Coconut Caramel Latte Breakfast Smoothie

Coconut Caramel Latte Breakfast Smoothie has my favorite morning foods like banana, coffee and almond milk blended into a super tasty smoothie with COFFEE-MATE® Coconut Caramel Latte Liquid Coffee Creamer and Reddi-wip Original Whipped Topping for a dollop of fun.

Creating this smoothie begins with brewing your favorite coffee. You can either make espresso or extra strong brew and let it cool. Once the coffee has cooled, pour into an ice cube tray. Place the tray into freezer for at least 2 hours or until completely frozen. Also, prep the banana by peeling, slicing and placing into freezer. It is best to prep the night before and make extra to enjoy all week long.

Once the coffee and banana is frozen, you can create your Coconut Caramel Latte Breakfast Smoothie. Place the frozen coffee cubes, banana, almond milk, oats, yogurt and COFFEE-MATE® Coconut Caramel Latte Liquid Coffee Creamer into blender. Blend until smooth and pour into a glass with a caramel and coconut rim. The recipe below is for two servings so take a glass to a neighbor to share or cut recipe in half.

This isn’t complete without a dollop of Reddi-wip Original Whipped Topping. Grab yourself a straw and enjoy every sip.

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.

  3. Transfer to a large casserole dish.

  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.

They are simple, hearty and packed with all the good stuff like hash browns… I am such a potato lover. One thing I don’t love about breakfast casseroles is that sometimes clean up isn’t as simple as the prep. Scotch-Brite® Scrub Dots  helps scrub away those kitchen messes fast allowing more family time and less clean up time.

The New Scotch-Brite® Non-Scratch Scrub Dots Sponge, Scotch-Brite® Heavy Duty Scrub Dots Sponge and New Scotch-Brite® Non-Scratch Scrub Dots Dishwands are easily found. 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!

These Pumpkin Crumb Muffins are still very moist and full of flavor!

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

These Blueberry Banana Oat Muffins are the type of recipe that I like to make on Sunday night to have prepared for the chaos of Monday.  Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees. Grab a mixing bowl and add your over-ripe banana with oil and bananamilk. Smush your banana and mix ingredients well. Mix in the vanilla extract, flour, sugar, salt, baking soda and baking powder. 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!

TIP! You can easily freeze muffins so go ahead and make a big batch. Wrap muffins in foil and freeze. Remove from freezer and cook for 15 minutes in the oven on 400 degrees.
