When I was a kid, I always thought egg rolls were breakfast food. It wasn’t until I actually tried an egg roll that the light bulb went on, and I realized they were not, in face “breakfast food”. However…. if pizza can be breakfast, why not egg rolls? I recently entered in the…

vanilla chia pudding
Who remembers ChiaPets? Terra cotta animals that you soak, spread chia seeds on, and they “sprout hair”making a small green topiary for you to enjoy on your windowsill. Who knew they were good for you? Well, they are. And, this creamy breakfast “pudding” is just the treat you need for Monday. Mondays are…
rustic Italian breakfast tart
I’m baaaaa-ck! I seemed to have taken a bit of of a hiatus around here lately, but- I’m baaaaa-ck, and with some delicious new recipes and stories to share. Let’s start with breakfast. This Rustic Italian Breakfast Tart, for instance. So; I’m not sure if it’s just me, but it seems like the…
coconut sweet bread with lime glaze #summerdessertweek
“This post and recipe was created for #SummerDessertWeek! I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies but as always opinions are 100% mine.” I love coconut. If you don’t- you can omit it from this recipe, and you have a basic sweet breakfast bread. Coconut is one of those…
cherry-almond biscotti and other hard things in life
Spell check does not like the word biscotti. It underlines it for me, in its bright red zig zag pattern, mocking my confidence in cookies. Like the mother in law that still remembers the times you did not hold to her standards, spell check is there: saying “that is wrong”. Well, spellcheck, it’s…
breakfast stir fry
Breakfast stir fry, breakfast noodles (n)~ A savory concoction of bacon, spinach and a golden egg to keep you full, happy and nice all day… or at least past 10. Days when you eat a decent breakfast are worth an extra dish in the sink. Because, you never know when you might…
Swiss, caramelized onion, ham and leek quiche
I’m continuing the French theme this week with this rich, creamy and savory quiche. It’s funny how many people I know that claim they don’t like quiche…. then they love it. For example: Me (to my 8 year old): “Let’s make a quiche to go along with our French studies” My 8 year…
school buns or school bread
To kick off our official first day of “school”, (yes, I waited until after Labor day) I made something special. School Buns. (Or School Bread) According to Wikipedia: Skolebolle (English: School Bun) is the Norwegian name for a type of sweet roll that consists of regular dough of yeast, custard and icing…
perfection takes time- rum raisin cinnamon rolls
sponsored post* There are some things that you can’t rush. The best things come with time; for instance: maturity, wisdom and patience, fine wine, diamonds and your grandmother’s spicy tomato sauce that simmers all day, or bread that has been kneaded by hand and risen and baked in a low oven, permeating the…
Egg, cheese and kale breakfast sandwich
My new favorite sandwich… For breakfast at least. Rich eggs, creamy cheese and hearty kale. Because when you add something green to your mornings, it makes the day go better. And, when you’re not ravenous at 10am, it’s a bonus. These are my go-to breakfast when I know I have a busy day…
small batch strawberry vanilla preserves
I love making preserves. I love the way may pantry looks lined with glass jars filled with colorful fruits and tasty sauces, I love that I don’t have brand name labels staring me in the face, and I love the simplistic beauty in a jar of jam. Unfortunately, sometimes preserves, jams, and jellies…
baked sour cream doughnuts
There are times I get cravings for moist, cake like doughnuts smothered in a slightly crisp glaze, there are other times I get cravings for grilled cheese made with (gasp!) white bread and lots of salted butter in the pan, with creamy American cheese oozing at every bite. Junk food at it’s…
busy day breakfast
I have a lot of names for this-Cuban breakfast casserole, baked toast and eggs, cheesy egg toasts… but, busy day breakfast works for now. It’s catchy, don’t ya think? Me too. I have a recipe that’s called “lazy mom lasagna” but, I don’t know any “mom” that’s lazy. To have the title of …
Peaches n cream breakfast cake
Hello folks. I know, I know- I have been gone a few days. Sometimes, you just need a visit to LaLa land. I made this breakfast cake for my in-laws. See, I had these peaches and I am still on the cream cheese kick and this is what became of that: Yum. See…
idaho sunrise-a breakfast
This is simplicity at it’s best. A leftover baked potato. Eggs, cheese, and bacon. cut the top off a potato and scoop out a bit of the inside. Add salt and pepper and a spot of butter. crack an egg into each potato and bake at 350 for 20min. Top with bacon, cheese,…
