I'm always looking for different recipes to make for breakfast, especially ones my daughter will eat before school. She loves her carbs and is always hungry, so anytime I can add in a little protein to her breakfast, I know she'll be good.

I guess I'll just have to buy a large basket to… Continue reading Puff Pastry Apple Strudel

I'm sad the summer growing season is coming to an end with a bumper crop of peppers. My peppers didn't do great all summer, but now that it's cooler and I've pulled out the tomato plants out of the garden, my peppers are doing phenomenal! I picked about two dozen jalapenos, a dozen green peppers… Continue reading Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Jalapenos
