Pressure Cooker Breakfast Bread Pudding

It’s no secret that I love my pressure cooker. Now even more…..it makes breakfast!! Pressure Cooker Breakfast Bread Pudding!

I was thinking about making french toast in my pressure cooker, which I understand is also called an Insta-Pot. Dig the name!! But, I wasn’t up for sweet,I wanted savory. And I had a couple of things in the frig to use up. Some ham and mushrooms, so savory it was. Continue reading “Pressure Cooker Breakfast Bread Pudding”

Lemon Blackberry Scones

I found a new grocery store……..the produce section rocks! How about blackberries …….. Lemon Blackberry Scones.

So, I go to this new grocery store……..I step inside…….grab a cart………my eyes glaze over! I kid you not……..the produce section was HUGE!!! And boy howdy, they had everything. I can’t wait to try some of the more unusual things I found……..but, that’s for another time.

They had blackberries for 99 cents a pint……I bought two! I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with them but they looked luscious.

Now, it’s Sunday morning, what to have for breakfast? The weather is now finally turning nice maybe some coffee and scones, on the veranda…….ok we don’t have a veranda, but you get the idea.

I also bought some beautiful lemons at my new favorite store…..it was a match made in heaven. Just a slight hint of lemon brought out the beauty in the berries, plus they color coordinate……I’m kinda matchy, matchy.

I like a crunchy topping on muffins, so why not scones, a little bit of oatmeal…..makes them healthy right?

And what scone is complete without a drizzle of glaze. Lemon added just the right zing to top of these beautiful, bursting with berries scones.

For your next Sunday breakfast on your veranda …….or wherever you eat breakfast, try my Lemon Blackberry Scones.

Oh yeah…….they are great warmed up for an grab and go breakfast on Monday morning, when you are running late…….

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 F. Sift the dry ingredients together. Grate the cold butter into the dry ingredients (using a box grater makes the butter easy to blend into the dry ingredients), add the lemon zest. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the dry ingredients until it is the size of peas.
Add the blueberries and toss with the flour.
Mix together the buttermilk and egg and add to the dry ingredients. Fold mixture together gently, being careful not to break the berries.
Press dough into a large circle on a flour surface. Cut out dough into 8 triangles.
Mix the streusel ingredient together in a small bowl. Sprinkle streusel on top of the triangles and place on a cookie sheet covered in parchment paper.
Bake scones for 18 -20 min.
Mix together the glaze ingredients adding extra powdered sugar to get the consistency you like for a glaze. Let scones cool a bit before drizzling with the lemon glaze. Serve while warm.

Cranberry Almond Energy Bites

Spring Break is approaching it’s final days, then it’s back to school for the last of the 2015-2016 school year. I will need something to get my motor running……… Cranberry Almond Energy Bites.

I am always running later than I want too! I start getting ready for school early enough, but somewhere between the shower and the door……..I think I enter a time warp, or fall into a black hole…….anyway, I am always running out the door.

But, I believe in the power of breakfast. After a good nights sleep you need to refuel your tank. But, for the running late me, it needs to be a grab and go, eat in the car kinda thing. Cranberry Almond Energy Bites are certainly that kind of breakfast.

Loaded with oatmeal, almonds, and almond butter, you will have all the protein you need to start your day. Chia seeds and flax add an additional health boost and cranberries and coconut add a bit of sweetness.

Since I have been on Spring Break, and doing Spring Break things…..no alarm, a few extra hours of sleep…..it will be hard to get back into the groove.

I have a plan, or I should say I made a plan. I made the Cranberry Almond Energy Bites this week, and I am already for that first day back to school. I can grab a couple of the bites and a cup of joe and head on out the door! Hopefully on time……..but, lets not get hysterical!

If you need that make ahead grab and go breakfast, try these bites. A big shout out to The Creative Bite for the recipe I found on Pinterest.

For now, I plan on enjoying my last few days of Spring Break!!!
