Bacon Maple Waffles Recipe
When deciding on a breakfast dish, the constant struggle is picking between sweet and savory. Instead, serve a dish that packs both tastes into a neat and tidy package.

Breakfast Sausage Casserole Recipe
If the petite palates at the table turn their noses up at quiche, serve them a crust-free alternative of the same savory ingredients. Breakfast casserole is a great dinner solution because the preparation is divided–get the ingredients ready before work and let them sit in the refrigerator while you're at work, then bake for an hour when you're ready to eat. Pair with fruit and you've got a well-rounded meal perfect any time of day.
