A homemade take on pork chorizo sausage—ground pork seasoned with paprika, garlic, vinegar, and spices. Can be cooked loose or formed into links for a spicy, savory addition to many meals.

Breakfast

Strawberry Butter Swim Biscuits

These strawberry butter swim biscuits are perfectly balanced—tender and buttery, but also airy and moist with a subtle tang from buttermilk. Studded with fresh strawberries and lightly sweet, they are just as tasty for dessert as for breakfast.

Pork Sausage Gravy

Ground pork sausage is browned and simmered in a creamy white gravy—often served over biscuits for a Southern-style breakfast that’s rich, peppery, and comforting.

Breakfast

Cinnamon Roll Monkey Bread

This ooey-gooey cinnamon roll monkey bread is devoured every time I make it for breakfast. Refrigerated rolls are quartered and dipped in melted butter and cinnamon sugar so they don't combine when baked and are easy to pull apart when you serve. It's a very creative way to use a can of cinnamon rolls!

Breakfast

Poppy Seed Bread with Glaze

This recipe was given to my mom from our neighbor. The poppy seed bread is topped with an orange glaze for a sweet and delicious treat. The bread is still very scrumptious if you choose not to use the glaze. This is the best!

Cinnamon Roll Pull-Apart Toast

"This is what cinnamon dreams are made of."

Breakfast

Best Basic Sweet Bread

This easy, basic yeasted sweet bread recipe uses only eight ingredients and can be made into dinner rolls, cinnamon rolls, or sticky buns.

Breakfast

True Wisconsin Bloody Mary

This is my Wisconsin version of a classic Bloody Mary drink. On special occasions, garnish with skewered bite-sized pieces of Wisconsin Cheddar, Monterey Jack, pepperoni, salami, green olives, or cocktail shrimp. Best when consumed before noon.

Breakfast

Strawberry Oatmeal Breakfast Smoothie

This vegan oatmeal smoothie has a deep pink color and a rich, creamy texture. It's very filling, and perfect for people in a rush in the morning. You don't have to give up a good breakfast when it's this fast to make! I use vitamin fortified soy milk.
