Easy Homemade Quiche

August 31, 2016October 11, 2016 breakfast, eggs, quiche, shortcrust

It was only when I really got serious about cooking that I fell in love with the egg. It's such a simple little thing, yet somehow the ultimate culinary workhorse and challenge. Eggs are delicious as an ingredient in their own right, but are also the primary foundational ingredients in... Read More

Summertime Smoothies

June 27, 2016September 25, 2016 breakfast, fruit, healthy, smoothie

In the summer, smoothies always sound like a good idea. Cold, fruity, what's not to love? But more often than not, when you buy a smoothie what you get is an overly sweet frozen drink that is closer to a fruit-flavored shake. Extra sugar, artificial sweeteners, artificial flavors, no thank... Read More

Homemade Bagels

January 24, 2016October 2, 2016 bagels, bread, breakfast

The first time I made bagels at home, I felt like a magician. I've always loved a good bagel, heck, I even enjoy the basic plastic wrapped bagels at the grocery store. But with all the boiling and shaping and baking involved, homemade bagels seemed like a lot of work... Read More

Perfect Holiday Breakfast – Craquelin

December 22, 2013September 1, 2016 baking, bread, breakfast, brioche, sweets

Until a few months ago, I had never heard of craquelin. Then I received a loaf through the Zingerman's Culinary Adventure Society food club and was hooked. I ate the craquelin greedily and was bound and determined to make my own. Craquelin is basically the Belgian play on brioche, adding... Read More

Let Them Eat Brioche!

October 22, 2013September 1, 2016 baking, bread, breakfast, brioche

Ah, brioche. The buttery, eggy gorgeousness that somehow marries bread and cake. When I started baking breads at home, I overlooked brioche, instead favoring peasant loaves and baguettes, with their crusty exterior and airy interior. But after sampling some lovely brioche recently, I was again hooked and craved making my... Read More

Huevos Rancheros For One

October 13, 2013September 1, 2016 breakfast, corn tortillas, eggs, Mexican

I have to admit - I have never eaten huevos rancheros before this morning. I'm actually a little nervous about this post because I can claim no expertise or experience with the dish other than seeing what other people make and eat. Nevertheless, this morning I woke up crazy hungry,... Read More

Breakfast Crepes – first time’s the charm

May 27, 2013September 1, 2016 breakfast, sweets

Whether from a street vendor or in a sit down restaurant, I really enjoy crepes. Until today, I had never made them. Last year, on a whim, I tried buying premade ones from the grocery store, wrapped in a plastic package like flour tortillas. Big mistake, they tasted like stale... Read More

Banana Bread – Happy Saturday Morning!

May 25, 2013September 1, 2016 baking, bread, breakfast, sweets

I woke up this morning and saw 4 sad, brown bananas on my counter top. I definitely wasn't going to eat them as is (I prefer almost green bananas if I'm eating them straight up) and I already had a stash of overripe bananas in my freezer for smoothie making,... Read More

There is something about a lazy Sunday morning, one where you lay in bed and just chill until getting up is as easy as pie. It's these lazy Sunday mornings that make me want to make a latte and bake. What am I baking this morning? Homemade blueberry scones. Truth... Read More

Sunday Morning Pancakes for Two

March 10, 2013September 1, 2016 blueberries, breakfast, pancakes

I grew up using pancake mix and for years never even contemplated making my own. Somehow I thought homemade pancakes would require too much thinking first thing in the morning. Boy was I wrong. And other than yeast pancakes (which require overnight resting and are a different animal altogether) these... Read More
