Breakfast
Apple Muffins
These apple muffins are just right for breakfast and as a snack!!!
I went shopping yesterday and bought a new mini-muffin pan. Right before bed, I got the idea to make something special for my husband to eat on his long commute into work. I had a small, Gala apple on the counter and [...]
Spinach Quiche with Gruyere
In the mood for quiche, again, and with plenty of ready made pie crust dough on hand. I put together this delicious spinach quiche with gruyere cheese. My son walked by as I was photographing it and said, "That smells great! Can I have a bite?" I thought, uh yea, quick before he asks what's [...]

Pumpkin Muffins
. There's more to bake with pumpkin puree than just pumpkin pie. Oh, you knew this already? Yeah, but have you tried doing anything with pumpkin puree besides pie? Up until that experimental batch of Pumpkin cookies, me neither.
Yesterday, I baked up a double batch of Pumpkin Cookies to give away to friends and [...]
Sundays Brunch: Quiche
Last night, we had our first McKeever Christmas party in the new house. It was a GREAT Pot Luck bash! I prepared a cheese & fruit tray, baked a ham, dinner rolls and made the largest serving of mashed potatoes I have ever mashed. Our friends brought salads, veggies, and desserts.
So this morning, I [...]
Banana Oat Muffins
I had four very ripe bananas on my counter this morning. This is what happened.
Bananas: Quick, transform us into something yummy before it's too late!
Jill: How about Banana Bread?
Jill: Nah, I did a post on that already. What about banana cupcakes?
Jill: Hey that sounds yummy, but I'll try to make them into healthy breakfast bites [...]
Vanilla Pancakes
After making Awesome French Toast from last weekend, I was curious how vanilla would taste in my pancake batter. My kids thought I made flat cupcakes for breakfast, and of course, they ate every bite! Notice that this is not a sweet batter, I skipped the sugar, knowing that there would be maple syrup added [...]

Most AWESOME French Toast!
For some time now, I've wanted to make really good French toast. I've eaten plenty of not so good French toast from restaurants. I've eaten so much that I thought I really didn't like it at all.
This morning my life is turned around. I feel a new spring in my step. My kids and [...]
Whole Wheat Pancakes My Kids Love!
This is the healthiest pancake recipe that my kids REALLY love to eat. Believe me, I have tried other "your kids are gonna love these healthy pancakes" recipes. They didn't. They knew right away there was something not right and they weren't going to bite!
Now, I will admit that this recipe has literally evolved over [...]
Scrambled Eggs in the Microwave
My favorite time saving appliance is the microwave. At one time, all I ever used it for was reheating my coffee and warming up leftovers. Then, I had more time to spend at the stove. That was a time when hand washing dishes was more energy efficient than running a dishwasher. [...]

Oven Fried Bacon
America’s Test Kitchen is a VERY educational and entertaining show. I really dig the food science and equipment reviews. Long before there was Alton Brown, there was America’s Test Kitchen breaking down the hows and whys of cooking. Of all the shows I’ve ever watched, there’s one cooking segment that I will never [...]
