I’ve mentioned before that we were going on a quick road trip in mid July. The Imaginative One had a camp in Kent, Ohio. Then he was going to go to another camp in Michigan. Hubby and I decided to drive him from one camp to the other camp.

Snickerdoodle Waffles
It was a lazy Saturday. The boys had gone from place to place the day before so I told them they could sleep in. The first one up was the Imaginative One. So I asked him what he wanted for breakfast – waffles or pancakes. He decided waffles sounded delicious.

“Chef Mickey’s” Breakfast Pizza
Almost 2 years ago, we went to Walt Disney World. Hubby got us reservations for Chef Mickey’s at the Contemporary so we could meet Mickey and the gang.
It was there that I discovered the breakfast pizza. Delicious! I’ve found recipes for the pizza but hadn’t tried to make the pizza until tonight.
This is an easy recipe, so that’s a win for me.

“Chef Paul’s World Famous Pancakes” or Wee One’s New Favorite Pancakes
Disclaimer: I don’t know Paul. He attended the same church my grandma did back in 1994, but that’s all I know.
In 2007, my grandma fell and broke her leg. Since she had to go live in a nursing home, we had to clear out of her house. That was a somber and tedious task. I ended up inheriting some of her cookbooks. One was from the church she was a member of. I put the cookbooks on the bench. I also inherited it from her. When I finally did pull the cookbook out, I was pleasantly surprised. On some of the pages were notes about the contributors to the cookbook. It was so nice to see her handwriting once again.
This summer, I again pursued the book and found this recipe for pancakes. I made them for Imaginative One’s 12th birthday. (When did he get so old??) They loved the pancakes.
Wee One ate 8 of the pancakes when I made the recipe again. I think he approved of the recipe. He also told me how good they were. Onto the delicious recipe:

Sausage Gravy
My absolute favorite breakfast besides granola and yogurt is sausage gravy and biscuits. Sometimes I treat myself to an order of them at our local farmer’s market.
Since I was on winter/Christmas break and life was back to normal or almost normal, I decided I needed to make some for Hubby and my lunch. The Wee One and the Imaginative One won’t touch the gravy with a ten foot pole.
So if you are looking for a delicious lazy Saturday type of breakfast, this recipe is for you.
Sausage Gravy
Stars of the recipe:
- 1 pound of bulk sausage
- 1/2 c. flour (I used whole white wheat)
- 4 c. milk or 2 c. milk and 2 c. half and half
- 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- black pepper and seasoning salt (or white salt) to taste
Steps:
- Brown crumbled up sausage in a skillet on med. heat. Don’t drain the grease off.
- Add the flour and stir until all of the sausage is coated with flour.
- Cook for about 2 minutes.
- Add the milk and Worcestershire sauce to the skillet.
- Turn the heat up to high and allow the mixture to boil. (Keep an eye on the mixture.)
- After it boils, turn the heat down to med. low and allow to cook for 5 more minutes or until the gravy is thickened.
- Enjoy over biscuits! Some biscuit recipes from my blog are 7-up biscuits, buttermilk biscuits, or buttermilk biscuits revisited.

French Toast
My two love French toast cooked by Moi instead of from the freezer section. The Imaginative One gets a headache with store-bought French toast/sticks.
French toast is simple to make, and you can try various loaves of bread. I usually use sandwich bread, or if I want to make sticks, I’ll use Texas toast bread because it’s thicker. When I made it on Saturday, I used ciabatta bread for Hubby, Imaginative One, and myself. I used sandwich bread for the Wee One because he likes me to cut them into strips.
BTW: Did you know ciabatta is Italian for slipper?
French toast
Stars of the recipe:
- 1 large egg for every 2 pieces of French toast
- 1 – 2 Tbsp. milk for every 2 pieces of French toast
- 1 tsp cinnamon for every two pieces of French toast
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract for every two pieces of French toast
- bread
- toppings: maple syrup, butter, fruit, powdered sugar
Steps:
- Warm up a flat griddle pan (my favorite) or skillet over med. heat.
- In a flat wide pan, whisk together egg, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
- Using a fork or tongs, dip your bread into the egg mixture making sure to cover both sides. (You may need to let it drip a little bit to get rid of excess egg before transferring it to your pan.)
- Spray your griddle pan or skillet with cooking spray.
- Transfer it to skillet or griddle pan.
- Allow it to cook until golden brown on both sides (3 to 4 minutes on the first side and 1 to 2 minutes on the second side.)
- Transfer to a plate.
- Enjoy with whatever toppings you like!
