I am here with another delicious recipe inspired by the wonderful 2012 Flavor Forecast from McCormick. (If you missed the first time I talked about this, check it out – along with a recipe for delicious Coconut Ginger Muffins – here). I am really loving all of these trends and flavor combinations from McCormick.

I’m so sorry, but I totally had to go here.  You would think that by now, I’d be tired of the whole buffalo chicken thing.  But obviously, I’m obsessed.  (If you missed it, I even compiled a list of 51 different buffalo chicken inspired recipes from around the web.)  And I’m not even going to pretend that this will be the last buffalo chicken recipe that I will post, because I’ll probably think up something else tomorrow that I just have to make.  So consider yourself warned.

We are breakfast people. My whole family loves breakfast foods – pancakes, eggs, hashbrowns, muffins – all of it. Give us a lazy morning, and you can bet that a big breakfast will be on the agenda for that morning. Unfortunately, like most families, there is just not enough time in the mornings to go all out every morning. But when I know we are going to have a busy morning, but I want to either have something special or something hearty to start the day off, I know that overnight breakfast casseroles are the way to go.

Since I’ve been living at my parent’s house, with a limited pantry, I think my cooking habits have really changed a lot these past couple months. I haven’t had my pantry full of lots of ingredients, and I’ve really only been cooking for myself and Abbi. (Which means I’m mostly cooking for myself, since Abbi has been on a bit of an eating strike lately, unless it’s peanut butter sandwiches, string cheese, or chocolate…) Before, I’d have a whole meal plan, and mostly stick with it. If I didn’t feel like cooking one night, we would survive on leftovers. But these last couple of months, I have found myself, more than once, faced with dinner time and no plan at all. Honestly, I’m surprised at how well I’ve adapted. I have been able to make quite a few meals on the fly, no grocery store trip required.

Is it too early to start talking Christmas?

Ok, let’s be honest. I’m one of those people who loves Thanksgiving, and I refuse to bring out Christmas decorations or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving dinner has been eaten. Click through more!
