Breakfast Pies
Individual breakfast pies that can be made ahead of time, and microwaved as needed. My 3 year old grandson loves them, and they are finger food for the little ones. The big guys love them too. I fix hash browns and gravy as side dishes for the big guys, and it is a huge hit!
Apple and Coconut Milk Cupcakes
Light and moist dairy-free cupcakes with a pleasant aroma that I invented on the spot. They are delicious, not too sweet, and easy to make. Top with your frosting of choice or serve as-is.
Quiche Supreme
This is the best quiche recipe I've ever made! It's loaded with veggies, ham, and a variety of cheeses. It tastes so delicious, and the quiche freezes well after it is baked. Use ham, bacon, sausage, or any combination you'd like.
