Hot Dog a la Potato
This is so easy, so cheap, and filling. It is great for first time cooks, and what to do with leftover mashed potatoes. Kids can make these. You can easily make these in a microwave too.
Streusel-Topped Blueberry Muffins
The streusel topping for these muffins takes them over the top. I'm a muffin snob, and I find myself making this same recipe over and over! You'll never want to make a boxed blueberry muffin again. They're really moist if you don't overwork the batter. They freeze really well and can be reheated in the microwave.
Carrot Cake Pancakes
Carrot cake pancakes for breakfast? Why not! The spices in these pancakes take you right to the flavors of a carrot cake. They're topped with a sweet cream cheese drizzle, chopped nuts, raisins, and flaked coconut for a decadent treat.
