I finally did it~  I ‘bombed’ pancakes & sausage, and WOW..what an explosion of deliciousness they were!  These little flavor packed bites of amazing ammo are just waiting to detonate all over your taste buds.

Such a fun way to enjoy a typical pancake and sausage breakfast.  You can literally pop these in your mouth and enjoy all the flavors of an entire morning meal..lol!

You’ve got pancakes, you’ve got sausage, you’ve got drippy, sticky, syrup bursting out of the center with each bite.

~Make a batch of these babies, and jazz up your morning!

What you’ll need for approx. 24 bombs: 

2 cups pancake mix

1 lb. ground sausage..regular or spicy

1 egg

1/4 cup maple syrup ..PLUS 1/2 cup for injecting!

A flavor injector, or decorating tip..to inject the syrup into the bombs.

Directions:

In a large bowl, or food processor, combine the pancake mix, sausage, egg and syrup…

With damp hands, roll out approx. 1″ balls…

Place them on a parchment lined sheet pan and bake them at 400 degrees, for approx. 12-15 minutes, or just until golden and cooked through… Let them cool.

Now inject them with some syrup, this will cause the explosive, sweet & sticky ‘bomb’ effect!..it is optional, but so yummy!

Serve them right away, and watch the mini syrup explosions of yumminess grace your lips!  ~Enjoy! 🙂

Move over doughnuts, bagel holes are coming through! That’s right, we now have doughnut holes to even that delicious playing field!  ..yeah umm, this is only fair. Bagels need their day in the sun.. and today is that day! 🙂

Not to mention that sometimes, ok.. ALL most of the time, we just want to pop a toasty, tender, cream cheese-stuffed, bagel bite into our mouths and continue on like nothing happened! Am I right? .. of course I am lol!  

Go ahead and try to prove me wrong! 🙂

Make LOTS!

What you’ll need:

1 container of Pillsbury Pizza Crust (about 13 oz. if pizza dough) 

water

salt

1 beaten egg

bagel seasoning.. your fave!

Cream cheese: any flavor you like, I used garden veggie, and jalapeno! *AND/OR adding some Smoked Salmon in there would also be SO AMAZING!

A pastry bag with tip OR a filling injector, like THIS ONE 

Directions:

1. Pop open tube of dough and roll it into as many 1″ balls as you can…

Place bagel balls on floured surface, cover with damp paper towel, and let rise another 20 minutes. In the meantime, bring a stockpot of salted water to boil and preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Boil each bagel ball approximately 2 minutes on each side and place on baking sheet lined with wax or parchment paper…

Brush each bagel with the beaten egg and douse in the topping(s) of your choice…

Bake for 15 minutes to produce very soft, chewy bagels; 20 minutes for browner bagels with a crunch, let them cool.

Now, gently fill each bagel hole with the cream cheese! Use a pastry bag, or a filling injector (see above ‘what you’ll need)..

..and DIG IN! ~Enjoy! 🙂

Just when you thought that coffee & bacon in the morning couldn’t get any better~ along comes this crazy culinary collision, and BOOM.. Good Morning, just turned into Great Morning! 

This bacon is next level amazing, with its sweet espresso glaze that perfectly balances the salty/smoky bacon, and will make waking up a pleasure. Make LOTS!

What you’ll need:

Bacon (1-2 lbs,)

1 cup water

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup instant espresso powder

1 tsp. Vanilla Bean Paste // OR a couple drops of vanilla extract

Instructions:

In a medium pot, simmer the water, brown sugar, espresso powder, and vanilla..just until they’re melted together and combined. (Don’t thicken it yet)

Let it cool a bit, and pour 3/4 of it over the bacon.. and let that soak for approx. 15 minutes or so, making sure that the bacon is completely and evenly coated …

Now lay the bacon in one even layer on a sheet pan and bake it at 350 degrees, until it’s fully cooked.

While the bacon is cooking, simmer the leftover coffee glaze until it’s somewhat thickened, stirring regularly. 

Baste the bacon with the thickened glaze once or twice as it cooks..

When the bacon is fully cooked, take it out and let it cool.. it will crisp up as it cools.

Then DIG IN to the BEST bacon EVER! ~Enjoy! 🙂

It was a cool, calm morning and all was quiet when BOOM~  a little voice came through the room in the sweetest little voice, it said “Mom..I want breakfast”.  Ugh~  there goes the calm and quiet part..lol!  What was I to do?  

Don’t answer that…I had to think of something and fast, before the rest of the world wakes up and the dogs start barking, the lawn mowers start mowing, and my quiet time becomes a distant memory!  I grabbed a pan and pretty much ransacked my pantry and fridge…and here we are~  LOL!

Here lies proof, that in literally a matter of minutes, you can have a warm, buttery and flaky sausage filled, gravy soaked  pan of Crescents that will be gone long before your happy place disappears.

~Make a quick batch of these the next time you want to switch up that morning meal or have a unique and tasty brunch to impress!

What you’ll need for 8 Crescents (double for more):

1 container of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls (8 count)

Sausage Links..one per Crescent.  Fully cooked is fine, just be sure to defrost them!

one packet of Gravy Mix..I used White Gravy

Salt and Pepper…to taste

Directions:

Lay out each crescent and roll up one of the sausage links, starting at the wide end…

Place them into your baking pan and pour the (salt and peppered) gravy all over the top…

Bake it at 350 degrees for approx. 30-40 minutes, or until the sausage is fully cooked and the crescents are golden~  if your sausage is pre-cooked the time may be a title less, just keep an eye on it!

Let them cool and serve them up…

Prepare for the incoming YUM!  ~Enjoy! 🙂

WOW…talk about some culinary history!  I overheard someone talking about this old-timey recipe and all of a sudden, I remembered an entire conversation that I had with my grandmother years ago, that I probably never would’ve otherwise remembered!

She told me that waaay back in the day, during the depression, food was hard to come by.. and being resourceful in the kitchen was a necessity!  

Bread and Sugar sandwiches were common and so were these Cracker Cakes!  In my opinion,  some of the best dishes came from that time..I’m not sure if it’s the simplicity of the food, or the love cooked into it that makes them so great..but they just are!

After I heard about this, I knew I had to create it, bring it back to life and taste the history for myself.  With such simple ingredients, you’d think it would be bland, tasteless and plain..but honestly..it’s just the opposite.  You really taste pure, and simple flavors..deep, authentic, real flavors.  Flavors of the past, flavors of the heart, appreciation of our present and the great respect we have for all of those who struggled to get us here~  HERE right now~ on a computer, staring at delicious food…comfy, cozy and hopefully well fed!  🙂

Make a batch of these and reminisce …let the kids taste what simple crackers can become, when necessary!  They’ll be able to taste where they came from and appreciate where they are!  🙂

What you’ll need:

2 rows of Saltine Crackers

1 Egg

Water

Splash of Vanilla

Butter

Syrup

Cinnamon or any fruit you might like to add!

Directions:

In a large bowl, crumble up the crackers into chunky crumbs.

Now fill the bowl with water…

and let them soak for about 5 minutes or so…

Strain out all of the water…

Add the egg and Vanilla..and mix it up…

Now you can add Cinnamon, fruit, nuts or anything else you might like~

Butter the griddle between each Cake and cook them up like Pancakes…

Grill them up…

Stack them up.  Drizzle them with some Syrup or Honey.  Taste the history!  ~Enjoy! : )

Well, it’s probably pretty obvious where my inspiration for this crazy creation came from.. yep, errr.. Taco Bell!  Good old, time-tested, snack-infested Taco Bell, with all its glorious guilty pleasure goodness. I thought it would be fun to dessertify that crunch wrap and swat the meat for um.. a cinnamon roll!  

You really can’t go wrong with an ooey-gooey cinnamon roll, lovingly smushed between crispy-crunchy salty chips and a toasty tortilla can you? .. Nope!

So here we are, staring collectively at a culinary collision of epic crunch wrap proportions, and your lips will thank you!

When you bite through that crispy tortilla and through the crunchy, salty, chip.. and then sink into a warm, tender, melt-in-your-mouth cinnamon roll that’s dripping in frosting.. you will then know what heaven tastes like!

What you’ll need;

1 container of cinnamon rolls (8 count)..the small ones, not the GRANDS!

flour tortillas.. one per wrap

round tortilla chips.. 2 per wrap

2 tbsp, veg oil

cinnamon  and/or powdered sugar for dusting..optional

Directions:

bake the cinnamon rolls according to the package instructions, and set aside to cool.

add a dollop of frosting to the center of the tortilla, and place one chip on it…

then place a cinnamon roll onto the chip..

and then add one more chip onto the cinnamon roll…

Gently fold the tortilla around the cinnamon roll…

and set them aside seam-side down to hold them in place…

Now heat up the oil in a shallow pan, and place the wrap, seam-side down…

until they’re golden and crisp…

And then DIG  IN! ~Enjoy! 🙂

Happy National Blueberry Pancake Day, everyone!

What a time to be alive.. right?!  I couldn’t let this day pass me by, without a sweet, celebratory stack now could I? .. Nope!  And as if the day couldn’t get any better~ well, it did.  

Not only did I get to indulge in beautiful blueberry pancakes, but I did it in style.. and with ease, thanks to T-fal and their incredible line of kitchen products!

Thanks to T-fal, and their amazing citrus juicer, I started my morning off right, with fresh-squeezed juice!

Then, I freely flipped the fluffiest pancakes EVER with no sticky-suffering in sight…

All thanks to T-fal’s sleek, and functional silicone spatulas, and spoons, which helped me stir and scrape every last bit of batter from the bowl! 

I kept those perfect panckaes nice and toasty in the oven with T-fal’sAirBake® Nonstick 14-Inch x 16-Inch Cookie Sheet in Copper

And the final creamy, blueberry pancake result was AMAZING!

The addition of the creamy, sweetened condensed milk drizzle.. just took these babies to the next level of pancake perfection!

DO THIS:

Simply whip up some of your fave pancakes, stir in some blueberry topping and/or fresh blueberries, and drizzle the entire stack with more fruit and some sweetened condensed milk… yeah, that’s as simple as it gets!

Then DIG  IN!  ~Enjoy! 🙂
