Very Versatile Brekkie Blend
"Fast, easy and works with whatever you've got on hand in your kitchen. I've just started you off with my own pantry staples. This is a perfect pair for my apple/nut-butter toast as I scramble to get out the door in the morning! Try and use the pure vanilla extract, not the imitation, because it really enhances the flavor."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Hi! My name is Katie and I live in Minnesota - just a bit southeast of the Minneapolis. I am employed at a great company called BI, working on loyalty marketing programs. I've loved to cook/bake for as long as I can remember. I grew up helping Mom dump ingredients while she was baking and was the official 'stirrer' until I was old enough to cook.
Cooking/baking is the ultimate stress reliever for me. I love to cook for others and am discovering how much fun entertaining is:)! Besides my FT job, I have a small business creating websites. Other interests of mine are inline skating (annual marathon in Sept.), long distance running (love 1/2 marathons), watching Friends DVDs, traveling, and reading.
I find myself searching the Zaar daily for recipes and new ideas and I'm always excited to rate some of my faves!! I am working on posting more of my own, but determining my measurements is proving rather tricky.
