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…

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 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…

(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…
