Sausage Breakfast Burritos

My youngest daughter’s favorite fast food breakfast is a McDonald’s sausage burrito with a Mocha Frappe to drink.  I decided that I would try to create a knock off recipe and this is what I came up with.  It’s not exactly the same, (mostly because I tend to put more of the good stuff in …

Breakfast Casserole

My family are not regular breakfast eaters.  Mornings are usually busy, trying to scramble to get to school and to work on time.  At best, my kids may ask for a bagel with cream cheese.  However, everyone likes the typical breakfast foods:  eggs, sausage, potatoes.  This recipe has all those things mixed into one delicious …

Spaghetti with Sausage & Peppers

Spicy Sausage Squares

So as I have mentioned in my introduction, my family has a busy church life. Part of our church life involves attending middle and high school devotionals at least a couple of times per month. At the devotionals, parents usually bring snacks to share with the group. One of my most requested recipes that happens …
