Fluffy Pumpkin Pancakes

This was absolutely the most fall breakfast I’ve ever had! It was everything I could have hoped for, fluffy, moist, full of spice, and perfectly pumpkin-y! This recipe was so easy and tasty, it honestly may be my favorite pancake recipe I’ve ever tasted. This would be great for entertaining friends and family for a brunch, feeding out-of-town guests during the holidays, and even as an annual fall tradition to make for the kids. I plan to make this again and again considering how much I LOVE THEM! Serve with warm butter, pecans, and your favorite syrup (my sister-in-law, Morgan, gifted us with delicious Bourbon Barrel Aged maple syrup and it was heavenly with these). Happy October!

Crustless Ham and Cheese Quiche

Nothing beats a lazy Saturday morning, Sleeping in, French press coffee, and breakfast in bed with a movie. That’s precisely what I did this morning, and whipped up, literally, the easiest and tastiest breakfast…I want to share this because it was savory, filling, and so easy to make. Serve with toast, or on its own for a low-carb dish that doesn’t make you feel like you’re missing out on the crust in a traditional quiche. Makes for great weekday morning leftovers as well!
