Who doesn’t love bagels? They are up there on my list of all-time favorite foods for sure. As a kid, we would go to church, then come home and have bagels toasted with a touch of butter, then topped with cream cheese and fresh fruit preserves. I can remember the smell and the creamy, crispy, … [Follow your taste buds…]
One of my favorite childhood memories is waking up on cold and snowy weekends to go ski and then come home to Swedish pancakes. (Whether that actually happened, I am not sure…but we sure did a lot of skiing and ate a lot of these little loves.) Over the holiday break, we made these again … [Follow your taste buds…]
I firmly believe that one’s food choices on New Year’s Day are indicative of the year to come. Excellent food choices lead to an excellent year. Lackluster or poor food choice lead to…well, you get where I am going with this. For 2018, I started with Swedish pancakes and boysenberry syrup. For lunch, a perfect … [Follow your taste buds…]

We woke up to snow in the yard on Saturday???!!!!…(I don’t know which to use). I also love fall because of the … [Follow your taste buds…]
For the past six years, I have had a half cup of some sort of cereal mixed with one serving of some sort of yogurt. I’ve gone through Oatmeal Squares and Vanilla Activia, Rice Chex and Greek yogurt with fruit, Grape Nuts and Yoplait, and pretty much any other combination you can think of. In … [Follow your taste buds…]
I am a creature of habit. And I hate breakfast. Well, I hate traditional breakfast foods–eggs, pancakes, waffles, and the like. For these reasons, I have the same thing for breakfast every single morning–cereal with Greek yogurt. This morning, however, I was in the mood for a more traditional breakfast. This is most likely a … [Follow your taste buds…]

There is (generally) an exception to the rule, and these little bites of goodness are exactly that. I didn’t hate the little bits of perfectly spiced … [Follow your taste buds…]
