This week it was my turn to pick something for my family, and I chose a New York Breakfast. Like the recipe author, I grew up in New York (I may have mentioned that a bazillion times on this blog already), and thus I grew up eating lots of bagels with cream cheese and various… Continue reading A NY Style Breakfast

A Take on Morning Cookies
Jennifer chose this week’s recipe. To me, a recipe that calls for eating a cookie for breakfast is worth trying. In essence, they are cookie muffins crossed with healthy cookies. They are soft and cakey cookies made from whole wheat pastry flour, rolled oats, bran cereal, canola oil, pureed carrot baby food, sugar, and a… Continue reading A Take on Morning Cookies
Vegetable & Cheese Strata Recipe
As soon as the recipe was picked, I made it a few weeks ago. It was amazing. Veggies and cheese piled on top of a crusty baguette soaked in eggs overnight. My husband and I cut this recipe down to serve two, and it was just right. I followed the recipe fairly closely, except for… Continue reading Vegetable & Cheese Strata Recipe
A New Staple Dish
I’m done with you, Cream of Wheat. Beautiful Farina Boy with hair I want to wrestle; I am leaving you for another. Get out of my life, creepy Quaker Oat Guy. Steel-cut oats are my favorite now. Simply put, steel-cut oats are the top-notch, first-class, blue-chip boss of the crop. I have been reading a… Continue reading A New Staple Dish
New York Style Lox & Bagels
I may have mentioned once or twice (or maybe ten million times) that I grew up in New York. So my childhood was filled with pizza, bagels with lox and cream cheese, Sunday night Chinese take out, and diners. Many a weekend breakfast was spent with my family at various Long Island diners. (If you… Continue reading New York Style Lox & Bagels
Oven Baked Potato Hash Brown Cake Recipe
There is not much to say about them except that they are excellent, and surprisingly not that unhealthy. I have made these a couple times now and they are always satisfyingly savory and crispy. I use a mandolin to thinly slice the onions and I use the grater plate from my food processor to grate… Continue reading Oven Baked Potato Hash Brown Cake Recipe
How to Make a Proper Danish
I am by no means an expert on laminated dough. I have failed previously in feeble attempts to make puff pastry and croissants. Sometimes to the extent that I deserved to be beaten repeatedly with soap bound in a bath towel. The reason I say this is because every joe-blow showoff with a food blog… Continue reading How to Make a Proper Danish
Lemon Blueberry Souffle Pancakes
Normally, weekend breakfasts in our house are lox bagels or eggs, and I do try to keep it on the healthy side. It is rare that we eat pancakes, or French toast, or bacon. So when we do decide to eat some pancakes, we always make luxurious pancakes from scratch. My current favorite pancake recipe… Continue reading Lemon Blueberry Souffle Pancakes
Peach French Toast
It is a great healthy breakfast that I like to make on the weekends. There is no way it could ever take the place of some buttery crispy pan fried French toast, but it is definitely tasty and still hits the spot for a sweet and satisfying breakfast. Baked Peach French ToastYields: 2 hearty servings… Continue reading Peach French Toast
