Crescent Roll Breakfast Muffins or Casserole

Friday, December 23, 2016
What is easier than a grab-and-go breakfast with eggs, cheese, and meats all baked in these easy muffins or casserole, virtually nothing.

These egg breakfast muffins are not only portable but delicious and versatile because you build them, however, your family likes their omelets all in one pan or muffin tin!

We started out with crescent rolls and lined either a casserole dish or muffin tin then added bacon, cheese, and egg mixture on top, and baked to perfection.

Plus a bonus, these freeze perfectly for that busy schedule so you can have breakfast on the go go go!!

If you love layers of flavors, then this breakfast recipe is so easy, you'll make it often for sure and the whole family will love them.

Check out all the different additions to top your casserole or breakfast muffin and make an assortment to please the whole family just by adding different toppings.

Cinnamon Butter Cookie Recipe

Monday, December 19, 2016
There is something about Cinnamon Butter drop cookies that I love. Well, not something, everything.


Since I was a child around 11 years old, I had my first cookbook from Better Homes and Gardens.


Red, white checkerboard hard copy fro the 1960s.


The pages are used a lot and worn now and did I ever get my use of it.


I made just about everything in that book.


This is an adapted recipe from there.


They used shortening instead of butter in their recipe, butter makes them more cake-like and lighter.


I find that shortening came out more like shortbread and biscuit tasting.


I really love this recipe and it's so easy. Drop the dough on the cookie sheet and bake, cool then dust with powdered sugar!





these are a butter cookie with powdered sugar on top the can is in the photo to sprinkle the sugar it has holes in it
