Cheesy Ham and Spinach Egg Cups
Does anyone out there actually receive breakfast in bed on Mother’s Day? I think it’s a lovely idea in theory, but it doesn’t work in reality, at least for me. I’m too worried about balancing the tray and spilling all over myself and the sheets to actually enjoy the fact that someone made breakfast for me…is that weird? Maybe. Whatever it is, I’d much rather cozy up on the couch in my comfy clothes, leisurely read the Sunday paper and saunter into the kitchen when breakfast is ready. But if I’m being honest, I have been known to skip the sauntering part and hover near the table when breakfast consists of these super yummy Cheesy Ham and Spinach Egg Cups!

Mexican Chocolate Donuts
I have a secret to share with you that will make you the star of the family: Baked Mexican Chocolate Donuts. Um, hello? Who wouldn’t have a smile on their face when they wake up to the smell of chocolate wafting through the house and then walk into the kitchen to see these chocolate donuts waiting for them? These have been on my bucket list to try for quite awhile, and I was inspired when Kristin at Dine and Dish made chocolate donuts, and they looked sooo good.

Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs
Dying Easter Eggs is always a highlight in our house. The kids love dunking the eggs in the colored water and seeing them come out a vibrant color. Easter is a week and a half away which means it’s time to buy your eggs now. Hard boiled eggs are the easiest to peel when they are older. Do not buy your eggs the day you boil them. You will lose most of the white when you try to peel them, and there is nothing more frustrating than that!

Chewy Granola Bars with Peanut Butter and M&M’s
If my kids had their choice, they would always pick granola bars for an after school snack. They are, hands down, the favorite snack in the house. And really, what’s not to love about them? They pack easily, there are so many different flavors to choose from, and they fill you up. But we can go through a box of granola bars like nobody’s business, and I am frankly not a huge fan of the ingredients. They are often too sweet and filled with additives. I knew there was a better option out there, so I decided to make some at home.
