Healthy Whole Wheat Banana Muffins #applesauce #bananamuffins #greekyogurt #healthy #moist #wholewheatflour

We decided to try a healthy whole wheat banana muffin in our continued efforts to drop some pounds. We enjoy our regular baked goods, apparently too much. You know the good kind with white flour, sugar, fat and all that good stuff. I was hoping these would keep my husband from the drive-thru every morning. Much to our surprise, they are crazy delicious! Even my daughter loved them.

Fried Grit Cakes No Saturday breakfast is complete without GRITS!

There, I said it. Having been raised in California I had never heard of ‘a grit’ until I settled in the South. Even then, I was wary, untrusting of this breakfast staple that everybody swore was a required component of a decent breakfast.

After years of swearing them away, denouncing them as devilry, my long suffering wife finally…

  Chex Mix is a holiday tradition in our home.  But the past few years I have been making it year round.  A few weeks ago our stove/range gave up the ghost. So I decided to try the slow cookermethod.  I honestly didn’t think it would be as crispy and delicious.  I was wrong!  It’s super easy, as well. The oven method requires you to stir the mix every 15 minutes.  This method…

Do you have trouble accomplishing the perfect temperature on prime rib?  I did, until now! I can’t even begin to tell you how angry and disappointed I have been with over cooked prime rib made in my kitchen.  When you spend that kind of money on a really good piece of beef you want it to be perfect, right?  I found a video of Method X from Food Wishes that walks you through the…
