Air Fryer Muffins

I don’t know why I never considered making muffins in the air fryer. I simply halved the recipes (and mix), then I used silicone muffin cups. I used the bake function on my air fryer, so the bake time was about the same. But you may want to adjust your baking time depending on your air fryer. I would just keep an eye on it the first time around. The silicone muffin cups have made quite the difference in the amount of options I have when using the air fryer now.

Spinach and Tomato Frittata

This is another Noom recipe that I found both Brad and I really like. I changed the original recipe up some by doing it in muffin tins, and I prefer not using the tomatoes. So I add those in within the muffin tins to keep them out of mine. This is great reheated too.

Belgium Waffles

We love waffles around here. But we want those big fluffy waffles, and we never succeed at making them. We keep trying new recipes, but still can’t find them. Well these still didn’t make the fluffy waffles I wanted, but they were delicious and super easy to make. If you like cinnamon, I highly recommend these.

Waffles

We love waffles in this household, but we have never found a recipe we just love. We have the tried and true Bisquick version, but I do keep attempting better versions. These were really good, but still not the fluffy waffles we were going for. I would make these again though!

Southern Gravy

I love gravy and biscuits, but I can’t have it at most places because it is made with pork and I am allergic. So I find myself making it at home instead. This is definitely a weekend breakfast for us, and it is better made with grease from turkey sausage or pork sausage/bacon instead of vegetable oil if you have it.

Spinach, Egg, and Sausage Open Face Sandwich

I kind of made this recipe up after seeing some instagrammers make something similar. Mine didn’t turn out perfect, but you can really make this more about what you like. You can add more of less of anything. The big thing I would do differently is use less turkey sausage. But otherwise it was really good.

Breakfast Tacos

Lately we have been making breakfast tacos at least once a week. They are super easy to make, we keep all the ingredients at home, and it doesn’t require any thawing, ha! I make them multiple ways depending on what ingredients we do have. But I do have a basic “recipe” I follow and add things in. Check it out below.

Cracker Barrel Biscuits

One afternoon Brad was craving Cracker Barrel biscuits. I offered to make regular biscuits, but those were not what he wanted. So a few days later I went to the grocery store and decided to get some buttermilk and try making them. I personally don’t have a biscuit preference and can’t tell a huge difference, but Brad can. I found a recipe online to try. They turned out great, especially according to Brad. See below!

Boiled Eggs

So I love boiled eggs. I like them alone, in salads, to make different salads, to make deviled eggs, etc. But I despise cooking and peeling them. They are always slightly undercooked and impossible to peel. Well I did some research, then I combined a few methods online until I found something that worked for me.

Mini Frittatas

These mini frittatas are another recipe I found on the American Diabetes Association website that is low carb and high protein.  They are also very good and really quick and easy to make.  My only recommendation would be to not use cupcake liners or use better ones that we used.  The egg mixture stuck to ours.  You can also add additional veggies or even some more protein via bacon, sausage, etc.

Ham, Egg, and Cheese Cups

In an effort to continue to find low carb food for Brad, I came up with these ham, egg, and cheese cups.  I have seen similar recipes before, but I kind of just went out on a whim with this one, ha!  These were easy to make on Sunday, and Brad took them to work for breakfast during the week.  He would eat 2-3 at a time.  He seemed to enjoy them.  I am not a huge fan of ham, so these were not for me.  Brad however is a huge ham fan!

Breakfast Patty Melts

Brad loves regular patty melts, so when I ran across this recipe for breakfast patty melts, I knew I had to try them.  They are not ideal during the week because they are a little time consuming to make.  There is also nothing healthy about these, but they are oh so good!

Cinnamon Sugar Muffins

Brad LOVES sugar.  And until recently, it was a major part of his diet.  Neither of us really thought much about how much sugar we had in a day.  Well in late November, Brad was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.  We weren't super surprised, but it was still disappointing.  Well the point of all that, is this was an amazing recipe find prior to his diabetes.  It was an easy muffin to make at home, and it was delicious!  Unfortunately this aren't muffins I will be making again anytime soon [unless I come up with a sugar-free/low sugar recipe!].  But if you love cinnamon and sugar, try these!  Plus they are Pioneer Woman...

Strawberry Oatmeal Bars

Melody loves strawberry muffins and strawberry pop tarts.  I found this recipe on Pioneer Woman's website.  I thought it sounded perfect to try with Melody.  Well I learned a few things from making this recipe.  One...a fork is not the same as a pastry cutter.  I have since bought a pastry cutter!  Two...giving this to a kid is SUPER messy.  Crumbs EVERYWHERE!!!  It was still a hit with her though!
