Don't count yourself out yet, they will make a fantastic appetizer too.

  • Sweet and Savoury Fully Loaded Breakfast Sandwich

    Everybody loves a hearty breakfast sandwich, amiright? I’m talking the fill-you-up-all-morning kind! This Sweet and Savoury Fully Loaded Breakfast Sandwich is exactly that and will hit the spot, trust me. After putting this surprisingly delicious combo together, I wasn’t sure it would be a hit, but it’s a total win. It all came together one day at the lake. That’s what we northwesterners call the cabin or cottage. My parents have a place just a short boat ride from town, and are the epitome of great hosts. There’s always an open invitation for friends and family to join them any weekend. This…
