Chicken Apple Sausage Patties
I shared on Facebook last week that I had made up a sausage recipe for breakfast. I promised to give you all the recipe, too. Well, here it is! These were really yummy.

Orange Cantaloupe Smoothie
This is another area where my taste buds have grown up: cantaloupe. I never liked it, ever. I can tolerate it now, and even enjoy it in a smoothie like this! Simple & refreshing, and a great addition to breakfast–or perfect for an afternoon thirst quencher/energy booster after being in the sun! (Or, don’t add the ice and pour it into popsicle molds for a frozen treat!!) Orange Cantaloupe Smoothie Ingredients 1 cantaloupe 4 oranges 2 c ice Instructions Remove the rind of the cantaloupe and scoop out the seeds. Cut into large chunks. Peel the oranges, remove seeds. Place the cantaloupe, oranges and ice into a Vita Mix,…

Our New Favorite Treat – Yummy Orange Yogurt Recipe
When I was a kid, I LOVED Yoplait Mandarin Orange Yogurt. Often, they would come out with peach yogurt and they’d stop carrying my favorite orange kind (though it was tricky, the peach kind LOOKED like the orange kind). I was sad. I liked the orange kind. Then, I think when I was in high school, they came out with the Creamsicle kind and it became harder and harder to find my favorite Mandarin Orange kind. 🙁 I don’t even think they make it any more. What did I love about it? It had little tiny bits of orange, and it actually tasted like real orange. It was…

Taco/Pizza Eggs
This is a fast and easy dinner/breakfast that I made up and we ate this evening. It’s a way to make eggs go further when you don’t have enough to feed your family. My family (of 6) can easily eat 15 eggs. Yes, we’re big egg eaters. Our chickens are only producing about 9 eggs per day, so we have to get creative sometimes! Tonight I made us this simple dinner, with only 6 eggs. Ingredients: 6 eggs Salt & Pepper grease for the pan (butter, or I always prefer bacon grease for eggs =) Pre-cooked taco meat (1/2 lb? 1/4? this recipe is really flexible! Keep pre-cooked taco meat…

GAPS legal Coconut Flour Blueberry Muffins!
I made a mistake this morning. We were going to a class where the 2 of the kids would see their birthmom, and I got them all dressed up nice and pretty, and then I fed them blueberry muffins. NOT SMART! :) My suggestion? Make these muffins and serve them to your kids while they're still in their pajamas. Or serve them, and plan to hang out at home for the day, with blueberry goobers on everyone's clothes. :) Or maybe, just maybe, make them and keep them all to yourself and don't share them with your kids. :) When you want a day filled with blueberry goobers, or breakfast…

Quiche Night!
I love quiche. I know, we eat eggs for breakfast, don't I get tired of this many eggs? Well, no. :) Quiche is more about the other ingredients, and less about the eggs for me. It's all good together though. It's a great way to use up leftover meat and veggies. Besides, we have a lot of eggs popping out of our beautiful free-ranging chickens these days! (Serioulsy, we have like 5 dozen extra per week--anyone who lives near us want to come buy some? :))

Staple Meals: Breakfasts
Since we have 8 kiddos in our home and lots of appointments and life is REALLY busy, I haven't been coming up with lots of brand new recipes. Instead, I stick to my staples. I'm not going to type up full recipes here, but I want to give you an idea of what we eat around here. :)

Cranberry Apple Grain Free Granola
Every Wednesday before homeschool co-op, we have a big breakfast (the kids have a snack-time there, but I want to make sure they're well-fed because they can't just munch whenever they're hungry. Before I get in the shower, I pop 2 boxes of Applegate Farms chicken & apple sausages in the oven (YUM. I could eat an entire box of these alone). Lately, I've also been mixing up 8 eggs with a little yogurt, cheese & spices and pouring them in a buttered 8x8 pan, and putting those in the oven too.
