Try as I might to make enough banana muffins or strawberry scones to get us through until Friday, that doesn’t always happen. Cereal to the rescue. Zzzzzz, I know. But getting the kids to school on time is hard enough without actually cooking something in the morning.

The weekends, though, are a whole different story – I almost always make something more special. Not necessarily difficult, just something more exciting than Cheerios.

The kids request dutch baby pancakes a lot, these pancake rolls, and breakfast pull-apart bread.

They pretty much went bananas when I put these French Toast Roll Ups on their plates.

What to fill these with

So many options! I make them different all the time.

  • Nutella
  • Cookie Butter
  • Jam
  • Lemon Curd
  • Or don’t fill them at all – just drizzle with maple syrup!

The innards are all gooey and the outside is slightly crunchy. Which basically makes them dessert. No wonder they’re so good!

  • Goodness, do I love a stir fry dish. I’ve often said that if push came to shove and I HAD to choose between Asian or Italian, I would pick Asian cuisine. (I mean, thank goodness I don't actually have to choose, though.)⁣ .⁣ Authentic Szechuan Pork calls for ingredients that most American home cooks don’t have on hand and might have trouble finding at their local market. This Pork Stir Fry is a riff on that classic recipe with more common pantry items, but definitely does not skimp on taste!⁣ .⁣ Check out this fantastic 25 minute meal by tapping on the link in my bio for the recipe -> @bellyfullblog⁣ .⁣ #porkstirfry #stirfry #asianflavors #easydinner #weeknightdinner #30minutemeals #quickandeasy #easyrecipe #eatdelicious #szechuan #takeoutathome
  • I consider kielbasa a miracle ingredient because it’s already precooked, delicious, and can easily elevate so many dishes in a snap. Well, I think the same thing about pesto sauce.⁣ .⁣ Pesto can easily transform so many foods with barely even trying. And this pasta dish is a great example.⁣ .⁣ In this pesto shrimp recipe, it gets mixed with butter, half-n-half, and Parmesan for a new twist on Alfredo sauce. And it's amazing!⁣ .⁣ Check out this quick and easy 20 minute meal by tapping on the link in my bio for the recipe -> @bellyfullblog⁣ .⁣ #pesto #pestosauce #shrimpalfredo #shrimplover #seafoodlovers #easydinner #simplefood #weeknightdinner #30minutemeals #quickandeasy #easyrecipe #pastalover #pastaislife #eatdelicious
