We are having so much fun with our family breakfasts and trying out new recipes. In the past I blogged about Golden Delight Pancakes, which are incredibly tasty! Now we’ve added another pancake recipe, Applesauce Pancakes. They are a HUGE hit with my family!

Two MUSTS for Halloween night are DRESSING UP and FEEDING MY FAMILY my Hearty Halloween Meal! As I grew up, my mom always made potato corn chowder to keep us warm on a cold Trick or Treat night. It’s a tradition that has been carried on in my family also. For mine, I use cheddar cheese, bacon, corn and potatoes – making a delicious Halloween Cheesy Potato Chowder. My granddaughter Joscelyn calls this “Monster Stew – rocks, potatoes and frogs!”

I like serving the chowder with corn bread. My family LOVES butter and creamy honey with theirs! Here’s the recipe: Scarecrow Cornbread.

And now I’ll share MORE pictures of my family’s Halloween costumes.

I have made many Halloween Treats over the years, including “eyeballs” for a family party. I won’t get that complicated on here – but would like to share two quick and easy recipes. I’m hungry just thinking about them!

Halloweeny Fudge is made with creamed cheese, white chocolate chips and nuts, and is a hit with kids or Halloween partiers!

Crispy Candy Corn Treats are a favorite of my grandkids.

Since Halloween is probably my FAVORITE holiday – I can’t resist sharing some family Halloween pictures! Hope you enjoy!

GOOD MORNING! Who’s hungry?

waffles1

Growing up my mom fixed breakfast for our big family every morning. The “big kids” had to leave early to catch the bus. My dad was a school teacher, so he had to be up and ready too. I loved all the variety that my mom served us. When she fixed waffles, I thought that was an extra special treat!

Try this delicious warm breakfast! These waffles have the sunshiny taste of citrus, plus an added texture and nutty taste from flaxseeds. Orange-Flaxseed Waffles

Make it extra tasty by adding sausage or bacon, and a bowl of fresh fruit!

Enjoy!

chocolate-cake

Do you love a rich, chocolaty cake? Do you think that eating gluten-free keeps you from enjoying such a treat? Not so!! Try this recipe I came up with. Everyone who tastes this can’t believe it’s gluten-free – and then they ask for seconds! Here’s the recipe: Chocoholic’s Chocolate Cake.

My granddaughter often has pizza at preschool or birthday parties. I make individual pizza crusts, and store them in the freezer. It’s so easy to take one with her, to provide her with a gluten-free pizza crust! For snacks I make crackers from the same dough. To make these I use

Larraine’s Multi-Use Cheese Dough

This dough also makes delicious drop biscuits.

When I make individual pizza crusts, I use a small flat bowl (about 3″ to 4″) sprayed with canola oil. I shape the dough into crusts creating a small raised edge on the outside. I use a knife to loosen and then place pizza crusts on pan. I then sprinkle crusts with Italian seasoning and bake.

For crackers I use wax paper sprayed with canola oil. I roll out the dough about 1/4 inch thick. I use a knife to cut squares or cookie cutters, place on sheet and add garlic powder and Italian seasoning. I use a fork to lightly press a scalloped edge.

When I make drop biscuits, I add a little milk to make the dough wetter. I drop the dough with a spoon or with my hands and bake. They are so delicious with real butter!

Want some FUN? Use one batch to make all three: I make three pizza crusts, six drop bisquits and about 16 crackers with one recipe. This is an EASY one – give it a try!
