Two things are a must for my breakfast, they got to be quick and they gotta be savory. No hate on the pancakes crowd, I just feel so much better when I start my day with a savory meal as opposed to a sweet. These Bisquick Sausage Muffins are quick, easy and a great grab-n-go savory breakfast option.

Whether you’re feeding a hungry family, preparing a weekend brunch, or stocking the freezer for hectic weekdays, these little muffins fit right in.

The beauty of this recipe is its simplicity. Cook and crumble your sausage, combine it with the batter and cheese, spoon the mixture into muffin cups, then bake.

Make Ahead Breakfast Muffins

Ingredient Tips: Try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat. Or swap in your favorite shredded cheese. Cheddar brings classic richness, while pepper Jack adds a little kick. Breakfast sausage gives these muffins their signature savory flavor. Mild, spicy, or maple sausage can each create a slightly different result. Use turkey sausage to for a leaner muffin.

Prep Tips: Stir the ingredients just until combined. Overmixing can make the muffins dense instead of tender. Grease the muffin tin well. Don’t overfill. Leave some room at the top of each cup for the muffins to rise.

Storage Tips:

Refrigerator: Cool the muffins completely, then place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3–4 days.

Freezer: For longer storage, arrange completely cooled muffins in a single layer and freeze until firm. Transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container, removing as much excess air as possible. For best quality, use within 2–3 months.

Reheating: Warm refrigerated muffins in the microwave until heated through. Frozen muffins can be thawed overnight in the refrigerator and reheated, or reheated directly from frozen with additional time.

Prevent sogginess: Let freshly baked muffins cool completely before sealing them in a container. Trapping steam inside can make the tops and sides soft.

Classic Tuna Salad Just Got a Dill-icious Makeover

Tuna fish salad on crackers with a grape soda and salty chips was my go-to childhood lunch. Nothing more perfect than enjoying that outside in the grass on a sunny summer day. Life was simpler and the way we ate was simpler too. I miss those days, but I do still enjoy tuna on crackers from time to time.

This creamy tuna salad gets a delicious makeover with crisp dill pickles, fresh herbs, a little Dijon mustard, and just the right amount of tang.

The three secrets to THE BEST TUNA SALAD:

• Use good quality albacore tuna (no cat-food tuna!)
• Don’t skimp on the mayo. Add more mayo.
• Pickle, pickles and more pickles.

Ingredient Tips: Use your favorite dill pickles, I like Grillo’s and Clausen. Add extras like, black olives, red pepper flakes, boiled eggs, red onion, etc.

Prep Tips: Drain the tuna thoroughly. Excess liquid can make your tuna salad watery. Start with the mayo amount in recipe then gradually add more to your desired creaminess.

Serving Tips: Serve it with potato chips, crackers, fresh vegetables, fruit, a simple green salad, or a cup of soup. For a sandwich, pile the tuna salad onto toasted sourdough or your favorite sandwich bread and add lettuce and tomato. For a lower-carb option, spoon it into lettuce cups or serve it over mixed greens.

Storage Tips: Store it in a covered container in the refrigerator and use within 3–4 days. Keep chilled and don’t leave it sitting at room temperature for extended periods.

I am one of those crazy pickle obsessed people. A fiend for pickles, if you will. Die hard love for anything and everything pickled. Okay, so you get it, I like pickles. If you’re here I’m assuming you are a pickle fan too.

These quick pickles bring both together in a crisp, tangy bite that’s ready in a fraction of the time it takes to make traditional pickles. Thinly sliced cucumbers soak up tangy vinegar, a touch of sweetness, garlic, and habanero. The result is bright and crunchy, with just enough heat to keep you reaching for another bite.

And because they’re quick pickles, there’s no canning marathon required. Make a jar, let the flavors mingle in the refrigerator, and you’re ready to go.

More Recipes For Pickle Lovers: Dill Pickle Chicken Wings, Pickle de Gallo, Dill Pickle Shots

Ingredient Tips: Just use one pepper for a mild heat. Add additional dill, pepper or garlic to suit your tastes. For maximum crunch, choose firm, fresh cucumbers and slice them evenly.

Serving Tips: These pickles are made for more than the side of a sandwich. Pile them onto burgers, tacos, grilled sausages, rice bowls, or pulled pork. Chop them into tuna or chicken salad, tuck them into a grilled cheese, or simply eat them straight from the jar.

Storage Tips: Keep the finished pickles refrigerated and use clean utensils whenever you reach into the jar.

These Strawberry Oatmeal Vegan Breakfast Bars were a big hit with my family and the ladies at my Mom’s work. The best part is that they are a convenient and nutritious breakfast option. I need easy breakfast because as many of you know, I am NOT a morning person! That is why I love grab and go breakfasts. Not because I am running out of the house first thing in the morning but because I am super lazy before my first cup of coffee.

These breakfast bars are fantastic with your cup of morning coffee.

It took me a few tries to get the consistency of the oatmeal bars right. I wanted slightly chewy without being overly moist. These are it! Firm enough to stay together but not hard as a rock. They are between the texture of a granola bar and an oatmeal cookie.

Mix up the oatmeal bar ingredients, slather on that luscious strawberry mixture then bake. Super simple and delicious!

Cut them into squares or bars and serve as a breakfast or snack. With school right around the corner, these bars will be great for packing lunches!

And they look really pretty too. I personally don’t mind eating ugly food. So the fact that these Strawberry Oatmeal Vegan Breakfast Bars are gorgeous is just a bonus❤️

If you want something that looks impressive but is secretly simple, smoked salmon puff pastry is your best friend. With buttery layers, creamy filling, and rich salmon flavor, this recipe works for brunch, appetizers, or even a light dinner.

I had the amazing opportunity to attend a fabulous backyard party that featured recipes that used Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry. (check out the photos below) It was perfect party food because everything was so easy to eat with my hands.

I decided to create a puff pastry appetizer inspired by one of my favorite breakfasts. I adore a simple bagel with cream cheese, lox, lemon and capers. I used puff pastry instead of bagels, swapped the lox for smoked salmon and added fresh dill.

Perfect as an appetizer or breakfast!

What To Serve With Smoked Salmon Puff Pastry: Italian Garden Salad, Onion Dill Cucumber Salad, Vegetable Soup.

Here is the group of lovely bloggers that I got to spend a morning with. Great conversation, delicious food and a gorgeous home. It was an awesome party!

I’m always blown away by a gorgeous table setting. Decorating in any way, shape or form is not one of my skills. So I am always really impressed when I see a beautifully put together table setting, like the one at this party.

Tips for Smoked Salmon Puff Pastry

• Keep puff pastry cold—this ensures maximum flakiness
• Add more toppings to fit your preferences
• Use high-quality smoked salmon for the best flavor
• Add capers, thinly sliced red onion, thinly sliced cucumbers or fresh dill for extra flavor

Deviled eggs are a timeless appetizer – creamy, tangy, and endlessly customizable. Whether you’re prepping for brunch, a holiday spread, or a quick snack, these recipes will give you foolproof results plus flavorful variations to impress any crowd.
