About me: Hi, I'm Jolene!

I love cooking and baking, and sharing my creations with others. I started my own recipe blog back in 2013 when a message board I was a part of was shutting down, and I needed a way to preserve all the recipes I'd tried and reviewed over the years.

Since then, my blog has grown more than I ever could have imagined, and I've been excited to have my recipes featured in Taste of Home magazines and cookbooks, as well as on MSN.com, Parade.com, and WPR.org. I've even had the opportunity to work with some amazing companies like Swiss Diamond, Dixie Crystals, Taylor & Colledge, Door County Coffee & Tea Company, Blendtec, and more.

When I'm not in the kitchen, I love spending time with my husband and son, exploring all that New England has to offer. Whether we're driving through the White Mountains in our Jeep, visiting the beach, or just enjoying a lazy day at home making puzzles or watching a movie, we always have a great time together.

If you'd like to connect with me on social media, you can find me on Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest. I'm always happy to chat and answer any questions you may have, and I love hearing feedback when you try one of my recipes!

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. I started with the whites of six eggs. You can use pasturized whites if you don't want to do the whole separating, finding a use for the yolks thing. I beat them up with some salt and pepper. Next up, the tomato and spinach. I used grape tomatoes, seeded them and then chopped them into 1/4" pieces. I like baby spinach, and I took about 10 leaves and chopped those up into 1/4" pieces as well. I added that to the egg mixture. When you pour it into the pans, be sure that it all gets evenly distributed. They bake up pretty quickly, around 9 minutes or so. Dunkin gives you two egg bites, the mini donut serving size is three. I pop them in ziplocs in the fridge and just pull a bag and reheat them in the microw...

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! I'd seen videos floating around TikTok and Instagram of people making stuffed waffles so I hopped over to Amazon and ordered the Elite Gourmet version. The instructions were fairly straightforward but there was no recipe so I made up a batch of Classic Waffle batter. Then I scoured the fridge for things to stuff them with. First up, some leftover taco meat from the previous night and Fiesta blend cheese, pepperoni and mozzarella cheese and lastly some strawberries and cream cheese. For the taco stuffed I added the taco meat and cheese in the middle and then set out some salsa and sour cream to top them with. Learning curve lesson 1- make sure your ingredients are all room temp before you start, they will bake much quicker....

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. Super simple. Beat up some eggs with salt and pepper. Add in some shredded cheddar and a slice of bacon cut into 1/4" pieces (I used kitchen shears). Bake them for about 9 minutes in sprayed mini donut pans. They baked up light and fluffy. The bacon stayed crisp and there's just the perfect amount of cheese. I split them up into portions in zip top bags and that way we can just grab a bag and warm them up. My husband laughed when I told him 3 is the serving size. I'll definitely be doubling the recipe next time!
