Chocolate Chunk Banana Bread

Banana Bread is one of those all-purpose recipes that works nicely as breakfast, a snack or as the answer to a nagging sweet tooth.

It’s perfect to make in a pinch too. The batter comes together easily with just a few ingredients and bakes for just over an hour making the entire house smell amazing. Make a loaf today using your Farmer Owned ingredients and enjoy it all day! read more

These muffins were the product of indecision. One morning I agreed to bake something for a girl’s breakfast and movie group I belong to and I couldn’t decide if I wanted to make blueberry muffins or coffee cake. read more

Cinnamon Buns

cinnamon buns with icing

Some of my earliest memories of cooking involve breakfast. I remember watching as my dad flipped bacon with a knife and fork and tenderly cooked over-easy eggs. If it was a special occasion my mom would pop open a tube of store-bought cinnamon rolls and my brother and I would usually fight over the last one. read more
