    Blueberry Baked Oatmeal Cups

    Aldi had their blueberries on special this week. Only $.89 for a pint, so I bought a few. As I was sitting here tonight thinking about what to fix for dinner, I kept thinking about creating a baked oatmeal recipe. So I decided to be unconventional with my dinner plans and went ahead and headed to the kitchen. I created these blueberry baked oatmeal cups! A couple of weeks ago, I created a recipe for these oatmeal cups with banana and walnut and they are SO good! So I wanted to try using some other fruit combinations. Blueberries are a…

    Banana Walnut Baked Oatmeal Cups

    Breakfast can be tricky, whether you’re single or not! So I’m working hard to find new recipe ideas for breakfast, or even for quick snacks on the run. I love baked oatmeal a lot. But most baked oatmeal recipes are way too large for just one person. Baking these banana walnut baked oatmeal cups in individual portions seemed like a better option for me. I have some quick and easy breakfasts that are portable now. This recipe actually makes 12 cups, but they freeze very well, and so I have enough for many breakfasts or snacks, which makes life even…

    Ham and Cheese Frittata

    I love omelets. But one downfall about making omelets is that they are pretty labor-intensive. It requires the use of more than one pan as well. Typically I use two for omelets….one for the eggs and the other to saute vegetables or cook up some sausage. The beauty of a frittata like this ham and cheese frittata is that you can enjoy the same great taste of an omelet, without all of the work! This is even more beneficial if you have more than one person to cook for! In that situation, a frittata is a perfect solution! Now, let’s…

    Crustless Mini Quiche

    I will admit that I am not a big breakfast person. In fact, if I eat too soon after getting up it makes my stomach feel pretty yucky. And it’s been that way since I was little. So normally I drink a great smoothie or for breakfast and leave it at that. But I do enjoy breakfast food for lunch, dinner, or even snacks. I wanted to create something that I could make in advance that I could grab for a quick lunch, snack, or even late breakfast.  Crustless mini quiche and frittatas are very popular right now.  They are…

    Frittata….Your Way!

    Although many may consider a frittata a breakfast or brunch recipe, it is actually a favorite of mine to make for dinner! So yummy and less work than an omelet, too! I have never been a real big breakfast person. I’m not sure why, but eating a lot of solid food so soon after waking up in the morning makes me a little nauseous. It’s been that way since I was a child. I have always had to wait about two hours before that feeling goes away, although I can drink a good smoothie and won’t experience that issue. So…
