Winter Break Recipe Roundup

Winter break is around the corner and holidays + family means lots of food. While it's nice to eat out when the family is all together it can get expensive. So here are the links to a few of my favorite belly warming recipes to help get you through. Some of them are super indulgent for special occasions, others are more savory favorites that are perfect for every day. Enjoy!

Breakfast: 

The Pioneer Woman's Best Coffee Cake. Ever.

Mel's Kitchen Cafe Vanilla Pudding Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Frosting

Robert Irvine's French Toast Recipe

Paula Deen's Spinach and Bacon Quiche
This one is good for during the week. You can make ahead and then heat up a slice for the kiddos in the morning.  It is fantastic on it's own but we like it with a few modifications.
    -Skip the bacon
    -Add half an onion
    -Substitute crumbled goat cheese for the Swiss.
 Place pie crust in pan and put down the layer of goat cheese. Everything else, combine in a food processor and pour over. This makes it a bit more kid friendly.

Lunch and Dinner:

Homemade Pizza, No full recipe for this one, it's a pick a choose.
 -we use this dough
 -we use this sauce (skipping the honey and anchovy paste)
 -and we top with fresh mozzerella and veggies.  
 
No. 2 Pencil's Slow Cooker BBQ Ribs
To complete the meal, add a salad and some of these fantastic sweet potato fries. Yum!

Food Network's Almost-Famous Barbecue Chicken Pizza

Slender Kitchen's Simple Crock Pot Pinto Beans
Pair with your favorite cornbread and a salad and you're gold.

Meatball Nirvana Recipe
We skip the red pepper flakes and use Pecorino Romano in place of the Parmesan. Delicious! Add them to spaghetti with this marinara and you'll have a hit!

Chicken Pot Pie IX Recipe
Double the sauce or add a can of cream of chicken. It's a winner.

These are just a few of my favorite everybody's-home recipes. Enjoy!
