Maple Glazed Green Beans

 Green beans are one of the few vegetables my guys will eat without complaint so I'm always looking for new ways to change them up.  I found Merry G's Maple Glazed Green Beans on the Taste of Home website and knew they'd be a hit because they love maple syrup and bacon.


March is Maple Month here in New Hampshire but it's definitely not the time of year to get fresh green beans. I opted for using a steam in bag variety which cooks in about 4 1/2 minutes.


I love how the syrup cooks down and candies the bacon and onions and dried cranberries.  I went light on the pepper while cooking it and added more to my portion at the table.  Using the steam in bag beans makes this a super fast side dish, perfect for busy weeknights!

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home. 

Stuffed Waffles

I wasn't sure I was going to blog these stuffed waffles since it was the first time I tried using the new iron but since I'd already taken the pics as I went I figured, why not? They aren't perfect but they are delicious!

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband.
