Breakfast

Is there a more quintessential breakfast that corned beef hash and eggs?  I don’t think so. Whenever I go out for breakfast, if I see corned beef hash on the menu, I always order it.&nbs…

Are you familiar with hatch chilies?  I learned about them last year at my HEINEN’s grocery store. Heinen’s is an old fashion grocery store.  They opened a few outlets in the Chicago area…

I have really wanted to try making gluten free pancakes.  So the inspiration for these Gluten Free Pumpkin Pancakes was my daughter being in for a visit.  One of her best friends was comi…

I make frittatas all the time.  I just love the consistency you get with the eggs whene made this way.  It is also such a great way to take advantage of the vegetables you have in your ve…

Before I explain my Egg Muffin creation consider that eggs might be the most VERSATILE ingredient of them all.  We use them and eat them at every meal.  There are so many different ways t…

How does one take advantage of leftovers of a CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE dinner for a Sunday lunch/brunch.  A natural is to make an egg dish. But not the traditional corned beef ha…

What is your favorite way to prepare your eggs?  I think mine would have to be a frittata.  I really like how baking the eggs in the oven creates a lightness to the eggs.  So you ask…

I have written about my wife’s love of scones and my pursuit to create the perfect scone for her.  I am getting closer but I am not there yet.  These Blueberry Yogurt Scones were a totall…

I have written about this before. My quest for the perfect scone is all about my wife. My wife loves scones and I have not matched her favorite scone - yet. She loves the scone from The Great Harve...

Every once in a while, I try to use an ingredient that I have never used before.  Do you ever try new ingredients?  Rhubarb is an ingredient that you do not see often.  It looks a lo...

As my last posts have highlighted, this Spinach Feta Frittata was made quite a while back.  To be exact, I made this recipe on Mother's Day.  So as I write this post, it was almost a mont...

I don’t know about you but we love breakfast for dinner. Do you? We will actually eat breakfast any time of the day. You also know I love Mexican food. So put breakfast and Mexican food together and you have a winner – a Mexican Frittata. Mexican Frittata I think the word frittata is used too...

This Egg Bread Boat is totally a fun idea, and this is totally, my daughter’s idea – 100%. She found this recipe and was waiting for the opportunity for us to try and make it. I have to say, and she needs to give me a shout out on this recipe, that I saved it big time. She hollowed out the...

So it is totally clear, and unmistakable, this idea for a breakfast pizza is 100% my daughter’s idea. The execution is also almost all my daughter I think but I can’t quite remember. I know she made the dough. She is amazing isn’t she? And a good pizza is all about the dough. We used a...

Tis the season for pumpkin. So why not try to make a pumpkin scone? The biggest tip I can share about making these scones is that the pumpkin puree adds significantly to the moistness of the wet ingredients used in these pumpkin scones. Said differently, the pumpkin puree makes these pumpkin...

This recipe is my daughters favorite recipe and it is so good and so good for you. Ok; not exactly. But it is so good. It is a whole lot of cinnamon and sugar. I decided that I would up the recipe for the cinnamon glazed muffins by adding maple syrup. I put the syrup on the bottom of...

Tuesdays Tip – Trying to perfect my wife’s favorite recipe. The scones are in the oven now and I am so nervous. Obviously this post is completed after my nervous moment. The quick download is that I nailed it. These are the best Cinnamon & Butterscotch Chip Scones to date. The make...

Is there a better meal than breakfast to use leftovers? I don’t think so. What is your favorite meal to raid the fridge and pull together a potluck recipe? We love breakfast in our family. But who is ever up early enough as a family to eat breakfast together? Certainly not my family...

I was asked to bake a coffee cake for Father’s Day. I was a guest but that does not stop me from cooking especially when asked. So before I get into the recipe, I wondered what the origin of Father’s Day is. What I found was the following: “Father’s Day was founded in Spokane...

I made this recipe for Strawberry & Cream Scones quite a while ago for my wife. My wife loves scones. I am trying to recreate the texture of the scones she loves from the Great Harvest Bread Company. She likes her scones crumbly. I have to keep practicing to get it right. I make...

Omelets are a sore subject for me. My youngest son, who I have identified as my toughest critic, tells me (nicely) that mom still makes a better omelet than me. Now, I know you are thinking, boy am I competitive. That’s not it. It is a signal that I have to raise my game. I have heard...

In my continued exploration for new Passover recipes, I found these quinoa muffins with zucchini and mushrooms. This recipe is also gluten-free so it could and should be made year round. The recipe suggested that these were breakfast muffins. I served them as appetizers and then have eaten...
