Breakfast
We love fresh fruit and always have some on hand but this week I found myself with both bananas and strawberries that needed to be used. It did not take me long to find a muffin recipe on Pinterest for these muffins. This recipe comes from www.julisasalbum.com
These muffins come together in no time and taste delicious. I could barely get a picture as Jim had two in his hands as soon as they came out of the oven! These were gone with in one day of me making them so I know I’ll be making them again! I love when I find a recipe that I have all of the ingredients for!

I came across this recipe on Pinterest and knew I wanted to make it as it is gluten-free and Robby would be able to it enjoy it. Although this is a breakfast dish we had it for dinner as it is definitely hearty enough to fill you up. This would be a great start to Christmas morning especially if you are cooking for a crowd as this makes a full 9 x 13 dish.
This can also be cut in half and made in an 8×8 pan.
INGREDIENTS
2 pounds Jimmy Dean hot sausage
1 bag (30 – 32 ounce) bag of shredded hash browns
pinch of salt
pinch of pepper
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
8 eggs
2 cups milk or non-dairy milk
In a large non-stick skillet, cook the sausage until no longer pink crumbling as it cooks. Drain fat and set aside. Add hash browns into a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish that you have sprayed with a non-stick spray. Pushing the hash browns down slightly. Turn your oven to broil and place the potatoes in the oven with the door slightly ajar. Keep an eye on the potatoes as you just want the top of the hash browns to get lightly browned. Once browned, remove from the oven and turn the oven to 350 degrees. Top the hash browns with the sausage crumbles and both of the cheeses. In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Add the milk and whisk again. Pour over the sausage and hash browns. If you are making this the night before you can cover and refrigerate at this point. Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes or until warmed all the way through.
Enjoy!
These little mini muffins truly taste like a pecan pie! You can’t eat just one of these. As a matter of fact when they were cooling and before I had taken some pictures I could not keep Jim away from them. He grabbed one, sat down and no sooner had he sat down he was back in the kitchen grabbing a couple more! These would be great with your Christmas morning cup of coffee or a sweet treat after dinner. No matter when you have them they will quickly become a favorite.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped pecans
2/3 cup butter, melted
2 eggs, lightly beaten
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Melt the butter and set aside to cool completely. In a large bowl combine the brown sugar, flour, and pecans. When the butter is completely cool, combine the butter and eggs, stir into the sugar mixture and combine.
Fill a greased mini muffin cups 2/3 full and bake for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from mini muffin pan and continue to cool on a wire rack.

I came up with this recipe combining a few of my favorite things, apples, caramel, and nuts! This is a great morning bite with a hot cup of coffee or a sweet snack after dinner! Everyone I shared them with enjoyed the sweet, but not too sweet, fall flavors.
INGREDIENTS
1 box spice cake mix
1 apple, peeled and diced. I used Honey Crisp
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup golden raisins
3/4 cup water
1/3 cup oil
3 whole eggs
Your favorite caramel sauce
DIRECTIONS
Mix the cake mix, oil, water and eggs until combined. Add the diced apple, pecans, and golden raisins, folding them in through the batter.
Line cupcake pans with liners and fill them up about 2/3 full with the batter.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cupcakes cool, then top each cupcake with a tablespoon of caramel sauce for a little added sweetness.
Enjoy!
One of my favorite things in fall is the crisp apples right from the orchards. I like them simply as is or in baked goods! I came across this recipe on Pinterest from the “Pinch of Yum” food blog and knew I just had to try it. When my Dad asked me to cater an event he was hosting (for 10 people) I knew this cake was going to be the dessert! Don’t tell my Dad if you see him, but there just may have been a piece missing before I gave it to him, for taste testing purposes, of course! A daughter has to do what a daughter has to do!
When my Dad got home he called me to tell me how much the cake was enjoyed by everyone and there was not one piece left! Not only do I give this cake a thumbs up but the full group does too! Perfect for any fall gathering, or just because!
