When we think brunch, we think beautifully decorated stacks of pancakes and waffles, bubbly drinks, savory breakfast casseroles, and ooey-gooey breads....

Asparagus is one of my favorite vegetables and the minute asparagus season arrives, I cook it every chance I get.

Updated March 26, 2019 Baked Spaghetti Squash We were out on a walk and noticed our neighbors had a huge pile of spaghetti squash in their front yard with a big free sign.

I love baked spaghetti squash with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper....

Updated March 26, 2019 I usually don’t bake breakfast treats on weekdays because of time and I like to eat oatmeal, but muffins are the exception. They don’t take long to make and they help brighten the morning. Sometimes it is nice to have a special treat during the week. When I made blackberry lime muffins for Josh, he left the house with a big grin on his face-and an extra muffin in his hand, he really enjoyed these muffins:)...

Just like fried, but better, because they don’t skimp on flavor but they save you tons in calories....
