Hash Brown Sausage Breakfast Casserole
If you did your first trip to the Big Apple right, you probably started with a big slice or two of New York-style pizza. From there, hopefully you moved onto a New York hot dog and then a hefty sandwich from a New York deli. These classic eats are part of the official NYC experience even if you did have to pull out the stretchy pants when you got home. If only there was a way to enjoy those treats without breaking the calorie bank.
I ordered a delicious Hash Brown Sausage Breakfast Casserole at the cutest diner when we were in NYC. I had to come home and recreate it. I think mine turned out even better!

Crustless Quiche
I received a box of Cabot Cheese for review, but was not compensated financially in any way. The opinions expressed are my own and are based solely on my recipes using Cabot Cheese.
I have been cutting way back on the carbs, so when I received a box full of delicious Cabot Cheese, I was over the moon giddy with excitement. I love Cheese and I really love Cabot Cheese!
I decided to make a fantastic Crustless Quiche with Bacon and Zucchini and lots of yummy shredded cheese. It was so delicious and disappeared quickly, everyone had two big slices! I am not know for my crust making skills, so this was a cinch to put together!
I love how fluffy the quiche gets!
I made the bacon ahead of time, just place a half of a pound of bacon on parchment paper and bake in the oven at 400 degrees F for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
Place chopped veggies and bacon on the bottom of your favorite pie plate. Pour egg mixture over veggies, sprinkle cheeses and bake!
Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a breakfast party! Reheats well or I like it cold!
Perfect Lo Carb meal. Thank you to Cabot Cheese for the delicious cheeses!

Caramel Apple Sticky Buns
Give yourself some time to make these Sticky Buns, they are a bit of work, but well worth it.
I made one batch with a Granny Smith apple and the second batch with a cup of pecans. I had my kids taste them and they are both wonderful.
The buns are not heavy, but a lighter dough. These are perfect for a brunch party, or just when you happen to have a lot of kids in the house. Each sticky bun is a two bite size, so have a couple!

Coffee Crumb Cake Muffins
//
Brown Butter.
That’s the word on the street that makes everything baked taste even better. Don’t you know it’s a fact that everything tastes better with butter and everything tastes amazing with brown butter.
Well, that’s what I have read in baking journal’s.
I love coffee cake, yes, I really love coffee cake, any excuse for making a coffee cake is my perfect morning. But since I didn’t have an excuse to make coffee cake, I made coffee cake muffins.
I knew my kids would love to have one of these before they went off on their merry way to school…..I was so right and voted Best Mom of the Year because of it….well maybe I am exaggerating this point a bit!

These are the best muffins ever! Delicious streusel and the perfect way to start your morning or afternoon!
Ingredients
- 10 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1 vanilla bean ( I used a vanilla bean, cut the bean in half, scrape seeds with a sharp knife or use your thumb nail like I did)
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 2¼ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- For the Topping
- 3 Tablespoons cold, unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch cubes
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 3½ tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Put a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line muffin pan with paper or foil liners.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Keep an eye on the butter.
- Melt and cook down the butter until little brown bits appear in the pan.
- The crackling will subside and butter will begin to brown fairly quickly after that.
- Keep a close eye. I burned my first batch.
- Remove from heat.
- If using vanilla bean, split the vanilla bean down the center, scrape the seeds out, and in a small bowl, rub the vanilla beans into the granulated sugar.
- I used my fingers.
- Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and vanilla.
- Add the brown butter and stir to combine.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl
- Add milk and butter mixture all at once, and stir gently to combine.
- To make the topping combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and rub together with your fingertips until crumbly.
- Sprinkle evenly over the batter in the cups.
- Bake until golden and crisp and a wooden pick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 18-20 minutes.
- Keep an eye on them… they dry out quickly.
- Cool in pan on a rack for 15 minutes then remove from the pan.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
