Breakfast for Dinner

Chocolate Chip Snickerdoodle Pancake Mix

Chocolate Chip Snickerdoodle Pancake Mix -- A Pinch of Joy Gift in a Jar

Chocolate Chip Snickerdoodle Pancakes -- a welcome gift and a delicious breakfast.  Or a great brinner -- you know, breakfast for dinner.  Light and fluffy pancakes with just the right amount of chocolate and a hint of spice to life them from the ordinary.  So good!! To make a Gift in a Jar, use a wide mouth pint jar.  Cut the bottom from a disposable cup to make a funnel, if you don't have one.  (See this post Potato Soup - Gift in a Jar  for how to make the funnel and other tips in making a gift in a jar. ) Add the ingredients in the order given, tamping them down as you go.  The recipe as given will make 12 pancakes.  If you'd like to make a larger batch of mix, use a wide mouth quart jar (shown above) and just double the amount of each ingredient.  You will be able to make 24 ...

Stuffed Sausage Biscuits and Gravy

1Stuffed Sausage Biscuits and Gravy -- A Pinch of Joy

Each time, we would head for a different eating place for breakfast. One of those places had Stuffed Sausage Biscuits and Gravy on the menu. Sooo good that I had to duplicate the recipe at home.   I wouldn’t do this for every morning breakfast (because that's every person fending for themselves around here!), but for a special day or for guests,  it’s great. Also works for a “breakfast for dinner” meal. I used Pillsbury Grands Biscuits, but any large biscuit would work well. Flatten with your hands or use a rolling pin – both work. Add the meat, fold and seal the stuffed biscuit by pinching the edges tightly together so no ... [Read More]

Cottage Pancakes

Cottage Pancake A Pinch of Joy

‘Wow, this is good’  is the universal verdict when Cottage Pancakes are served.  They are full of protein and other goodness  and are a low carbers dream!   Delicious and healthy equals win-win!   The main ingredients are a little “out of the carton”  (heh, heh!)  without being weird or tasting strange.  They taste just like you expect pancakes to taste.  Only better.  On this recipe I measure the flour when I first start, add the salt and baking powder to the half cup full of flour and set aside until needed.  That way I don’t need to stop and measure but can just keep the mixture light and moving toward the skillet.  I use regular cottage cheese – small curd, large curd doesn’t matter.  Smooth it by pulsing it in the food processor or blender until the lumps are gone.  I also -- and ...
