easy breakfast recipe: kolaches

This recipe I'm sharing today is far from fancy and probably the most basic of them all but I love it.  It's so easy that you could probably figure it out by just me showing you a picture of the finished product but I'm still going to explain, lucky you! ;)  

These are semi-homemade sausage & cheese kolaches.  Yummy, easy & only four ingredients... yes, please!

[what you need]

-2 cans of biscuits (I use original, I don't think the flaky or layered type would work)

-1 package of mini sausages

-grated cheese

-jalapenos (this brand is my favorite because they are crunchy and have the perfect amount of heat)

**I made ten kolaches and lots of pigs in the blanket**

I have found that it's easiest to set all of your ingredients out before building the kolaches.

Lay a biscuit out on a plate and press it flat while spreading it out a bit.  Two sausages per biscuit is what I did but you can customize to your liking.

Next, add jalapeños & cheese.

When you close the kolache, be sure to pinch the top very well where it comes together so that when they bake it doesn't come apart.  I feel like I do this very well but I always have at least one that opens up.

I always bake these slower than the biscuit wrapper says.  Usually at 300/315 degrees until golden brown.  I always cut into one to make sure the center is cooked through.

That's it!  So easy and these are always a crowd pleaser.  

If you make this recipe & post it to instagram feel free to tag me so I can see it!  I hope you've had a wonderful Wednesday & thanks for reading.

Review: Nuby Bath Toy

Norah hated baths as an infant and has really never been a fan of them until very recently.  It was like one day she told herself "bath time is so much fun" because for the past month or so she asks to take a bath and gets so excited when the time comes!  Adding new toys every once in a while has been fun for her and for us to watch her explore and learn.  Some of her favorite bath toys are foam toys or letters that stick to the wall and any kind of cup that she can fill up and pour water out of.  We recently added the Nuby Octopus Floating Bath toy and it has definitely been added to her list of favorites.

[what it does]

floats in the water

includes three colorful rings to place onto the arms

for the older ones the rings can be tossed on to the arms for a fun game

helps develop hand-eye coordination

BPA Free

Norah loves to count the Octopus' arms & enjoys finding and placing the rings onto the arms.

look of determination vs. look of success! 

[where to buy]

Amazon, Walmart or Bed Bath & Beyond
