MONKEY BREAD is a classic breakfast treat that the kids (and adults!) absolutely go nuts over! Sweet, sticky biscuits coated in cinnamon and sugar and baked in a simple caramel sauce. We make this for holiday mornings, but it's a fun treat to sneak in anytime of the year.

These Homemade Healthy Gummies are only 2 ingredients, have no sugar added and are paleo and whole30 friendly! Kids and adults will love them!

Homemade Healthy Gummies

Cup Orange juice (not from concentrate)

Honey ((depending how sweet you like gummies))

Place the orange juice in a small pot on high heat until it simmers.

Add the gelatin while whisking until it&#039;s dissolved. Then, add the honey if using.

Pour into gummy bear molds (use an eye dropper for less mess!) OR pour into a small sided container.

Remove from molds, or slice, and DEVOUR!

The easiest and most delicious Butternut Squash Broccoli Mac and Cheese made even easier starting with a box of macaroni! So good and almost gourmet!

Butternut Squash Broccoli Mac and Cheese

butternut squash

Salt and pepper

broccoli

panko crumbs (toasted)

paprika

Begin preparing Horizon Organic Macaroni and Cheese according to the box instructions by boiling water to cook pasta.

While water boils, boil water in a separate pot and add chopped butternut squash. Boil for 12-15 minutes or until squash is tender. Add tender squash to food processor or blender and grind until puree forms. Set aside.

Once pasta is done boiling, drain pasta and add back into original pasta pot.

Add milk, butter and cheese sauce from box then stir in squash puree, salt and pepper to taste, and broccoli and cook on low heat until broccoli is warmed through.

Lastly, sprinkle top of mac and cheese with toasted panko crumbs and paprika and serve.

Hootenanny is a kid favorite in our house! Tastes like french toast, but it&#039;s so much easier to make!

Hootenanny

eggs

milk

salt

flour

vanilla

nutmeg

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Place the stick of butter in a 9x13 baking dish and put it in the oven to melt while you prepare the batter. Keep an eye on the butter and remove the pan from the oven if it starts to brown, but work quickly so that the pan does not cool.

Beat the eggs, milk, salt, cinnamon, vanilla, and nutmeg until frothy.

Whisk in the flour until well combined.

Pour over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir.

Bake for 25 minutes or until the center is set and the edges are browned.

Slice into 8 pieces and serve with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or powdered sugar.

Hootenanny is the perfect breakfast for busy moms with hungry kids! No bread needed, but this breakfast recipe has a total French toast vibe the kids love. Plus, it's fun to watch it bake up into crazy shapes!

This is the best Belgian waffle recipe I've ever tried! It beats restaurant waffles any day of the week!

The Very Best Waffles

all-purpose flour

cornstarch

baking powder

baking soda

buttermilk

vegetable oil

vanilla extract

Heat the oven to 200°F and heat up the waffle iron.

Mix the flour, cornstarch, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Measure the buttermilk, milk, and vegetable oil in a measuring cup and stir in the egg yolk. Set aside.

In another bowl, beat the egg white almost to soft peaks. Sprinkle in the sugar and continue to beat until the peaks are firm and glossy. Beat in the vanilla.

Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk until just mixed. Drop the whipped egg white onto the batter in dollops and fold in with a spatula until just incorporated.

Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron (My Belgian waffle maker takes 2 1/2 ice cream scoops of batter, but your mileage may vary) and cook until the waffle is crisp and brown.

Set the waffle directly on the oven rack to keep it warm and crisp. Repeat with the remaining batter, holding the waffles in the oven (don't stack them). When all the waffles are cooked, serve immediately.

Christmas Chip Cookies

This simple pasta recipe is ready in just 20 minutes. Toss your favorite shape of pasta in this cream cheese pasta sauce and you'll never go back to plain old spaghetti again!

Million Dollar Pasta

penne pasta

beef

pasta sauce

cream cheese (room temperature)

cottage cheese

sour cream

chives

black pepper

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package directions.

While the pasta is cooking, brown the hamburger meat in a medium skillet, crumbling it as it cooks. Drain the fat and return to the pan. Stir in the pasta sauce and set aside.

Meanwhile, beat together the cream cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream, chives, salt, and pepper with an electric mixer until well combined.

Drain the pasta when it's finished cooking and return to the pot. Stir in the cream cheese mixture and the meat sauce until well coated.

Serve immediately.

This bread is rich and chocolatey, but you'll still taste the banana! I use and recommend Hershey's Special Dark cocoa powder in this recipe.

Double Chocolate Banana Bread

butter, (softened)

white sugar

bananas, (mashed - about 1 cup)

cocoa powder

milk chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x5x3 loaf pan with non-stick spray.

Add the butter and sugars to a mixing bowl and mix until well combined.

Beat in the egg, vanilla, banana, and sour cream.

Stir in the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

Pour mixture into prepared loaf pan.

Sprinkle the top with chocolate chips and gently press them into the batter.

Bake for 70 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. If you under bake this, the center will sink upon cooling.

Let bread cool completely before cutting and serving.

PLEASE NOTE: I baked this bread in a ceramic loaf pan. If you're using a glass or metal pan, your baking times may vary. Keep an eye on the bread and check with a tester before removing from the oven.

Chocolate Banana Bread Recipe

This easy spaghetti recipe is made in just one dish for minimal clean up! I love the way the spaghetti sauce soaks into the noodles as they cook.

One Pot Spaghetti

onion

garlic (minced)

tomato sauce

tomatoes

water

Italian seasoning

pepper

spaghetti noodles

Parmesan cheese

parsley

Add the ground beef and onion to a large dutch oven over medium heat and cook until browned. Drain the grease.

Add the garlic to the pan and cook for 30 seconds, stirring.

Stir in the tomato sauce, undrained canned tomatoes, and water. Add the Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

Once boiling, break the spaghetti in half and add to the pot. Stir to submerge the noodles in the liquid.

Return to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cover.&nbsp;

Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes or until noodles are cooked through.

Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese and parsley over the top and stir to combine.

Serve immediately.&nbsp;
