Guest Blogger!



I’m so pleased to be guest blogging for my wonderful friend, Kelly at www.ayearofpinterestcooking.wordpress.com. I’ve enjoyed trying recipes she’s shared this year on her blog. I still love the cinnamon rolls in the waffle maker. It cracks me up to find unique ways to use things we already have. I’d like to share my Sunday Pinterest-Inspired Brunch from this weekend. There are several recipes that we tried out. My wonderful taste-tester spouse is very honest about my cooking (for fear of having to eat a bad dish again, I think!) and so that’s where the words for the statuses came from. Enjoy being at our kitchen table for brunch!

Hash brown Cups
We love hashbrowns. But babysitting them in the pan on a Sunday morning when you have tons of other things to do just stinks! So I was very excited when I found this recipe. I adjusted the recipe so it would feed the two of us. The blog said that reheating these was not as delicious so I trusted that.
