I shared a recipe for quiche lorraine here a few years ago, and thought it was time to share my classic quiche recipe with you as well. It's much more customizable (technically you could customize quiche lorraine too, but then it wouldn't be quiche lorraine!), and it makes the perfect addition to your brunch menu or weekly meal prep.

What's your go-to weekend breakfast? While my easy French toast recipe is a family favorite, we've been whipping up these chocolate chip pancakes as of late. Thick, fluffy, and sweet, they are ideal for days when you want something a bit more indulgent than classic buttermilk pancakes but aren't quite ready for full-on chocolate pancakes!

15+ Banana Recipes to Make With Your Overripe Bananas https://sugarspunrun.com/banana-recipes/ https://sugarspunrun.com/banana-recipes/#comments Mon, 16 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000 https://sugarspunrun.com/?p=85282 Bananas gone brown? Put them to good use in one of my many banana recipes! We're going beyond the usual bread today with everything from banana cookies to banana cinnamon rolls.


Collage of banana recipes including banana pancakes, banana cinnamon rolls, banana pudding, banana bread, and banana cupcakes.

My family has a knack for being very inconsistent with their banana consumption. Some weeks, the bananas disappear the day I buy them, while others sit on the counter til they are nearly unrecognizable. This predicament has led me to develop quite a few banana recipes. Most are perfect for scenario #2 above (the brown, overripe variety), but I do have a few for ripe, yellow bananas too!
