There are so many ways to make delicious French Toast. You have stuffed French toast, overnight French toast, skillet French toast…the varieties are endless. However, I think I’ve discovered the ultimate French Toast recipe and just had to share.

Several years ago I had double dipped French Toast at iHop and it changed how I made it going forward. It was a limited time menu item but it made an impression!…

This twice baked breakfast potatoes recipe is all that and a bag of chips. I can’t wait to share! Before I share it with you, let me give you some backstory.

Weight Watchers changing to the the new Freestyle program has me thinking a lot about my friend Andie Mitchell’s cookbook Eating in the Middle. The new Weight Watchers Freestyle program seems to be a lot about practical balance. Those of you who follow Andie know this is exactly what she has been preaching for years. It’s not about elimination and deprivation, it’s about “wholesome eating, most of the time”. I really like that concept and think this cookbook is going to guide me well throughout my journey.

I’ve been cooking from this book since receiving it a year ago. I can’t believe I haven’t shared it on Dine & Dish with you. Now’s the time!

Eating a good, nutritious breakfast is a fairly new thing for me. It used to be that I was never really all that hungry in the morning, so I’d grab a cup of coffee and skip breakfast. I didn’t want to “waste calories” on a meal I wasn’t hungry at.

I’m still not very hungry in the morning but I’ve come to realize how important that first meal of the day really is for providing fuel for the rest of the day.  That mid-day slump is a lot harder to resist on those days when I try to just get by on coffee in the morning. …

Brunch…it’s one of my absolute favorite meals. I wonder if that’s why brunch is such a popular thing to do on Mother’s Day? Is it because brunch gives mom enough time to sleep in while their family makes a brunch time feast? That’s not the way it is around here, but maybe my kids are just Mother’s Day slackers.

I’m kidding. My kids do a great job with Mother’s Day, but a fancy brunch feast isn’t usually a part of their plans (unless you count toast and grapes with peanut butter on them fancy). If I want brunch on Mother’s Day, the options are to either head to the nearest restaurant, or make it myself. It’s a good thing I love to cook, because making my own Mother’s Day brunch doesn’t seem like such a chore. In fact, cooking up a big, mid-morning meal for my family is one of my favorite things to do, Mother’s Day or not!

Friends, how can Easter be just around the corner? I have no idea where 2016 is going in such a hurry, but I sure wish it would slow down!

Even though it’s hard to believe, Easter is almost here, which means it’s time to start thinking about what delicious food you will be serving up. Whether it be something for just your family, or you want to bake a little extra for friends and neighbors to show how much you care, making your Easter meal special doesn’t have to be complicated.

Take these Salted Caramel Rolls, for example. Big, fluffy, tender caramel rolls are really quite doable, even if you’ve never made a sweet roll of any kind before.  The secret is to use Fleischmann’s® RapidRise™ Yeast. It saves time by only requiring one rise and you can make this dough ahead of time and refrigerate overnight to bake when ready!

I absolutely love holiday breaks. I don’t know what it is about them, but every day during winter break is like a Sunday… my family is home under one roof, no school or sports practices to rush off to. Mornings are slow, without the normal hustle and rush of needing to get out the door by a certain time. Evenings are leisurely, without the stress of spelling tests to study for and homework.

We all settle into our own activities, returning to hobbies that have been neglected, or binge watching shows that we haven’t had time to see. I swear I also read more books in the few weeks of the holiday break than I do all year. Besides summer, Christmas vacation is my favorite time of year!…

Breakfast…I’m pretty sure it’s one of those meals where either you love it, or you hate it. I love breakfast…I just don’t love it at breakfast time! I’m more of a “give me breakfast for dinner” kind of girl.

I’m trying to change my ways though. I understand for my overall health and well being starting my day off with a good breakfast is essential. Honestly, I just hate wasting calories on food in the morning when I’m not so hungry (like I am at 4pm EVERY single day… I want to save ALL the calories for 4pm!)….
