I don’t always eat muffins for breakfast, but when I do I enjoy them homemade, moist, and delicious. It’s an added bonus if I make a seasonal recipe, like these maple pumpkin muffins that are getting me in the mood for Thanksgiving later this week. I don’t think I have to tell you that pumpkin …
One of my favorite breakfast dishes features some of my favorite flavors. Tomato! Garlic! Paprika! Shakshuka is a dish common in Israel, other parts of the Middle East, and increasingly trendy brunch restaurants, but it’s surprisingly very easy to make right at home. And I highly recommend it, given the medley of delicious flavors and …
You know what sounds great for this weekend? Sleeping in and making banana pancakes…kind of like that Jack Johnson song. And now it’s stuck in my head. But in all seriousness, these immensely fluffy pancakes are a great idea for a lazy weekend morning. The mashed bananas give them some extra substance while real buttermilk …
Oatmeal is one of my favorite weekday breakfast meals, because it’s quick and easy but also tastes delicious. It’s an especially cozy meal in the fall and winter, so I’m getting really gung ho about making oatmeal again. I also love that you can dress it up however you want, whether you want something sweeter, …
This dish is like a hybrid between a quiche and a frittata, starring one of my favorite summer veggies: zucchini. Think of it as more like a soufflé, actually. The eggs make it nice and fluffy while the addition of flour and baking powder allows the bake to rise and take on a tender crust. …
When I look at the forecast in the morning and it’s shaping up to be another hot day with temperatures reaching well into the nineties, the only thing I want to put in my body is something cold. Make it fruity and filling, and you’re looking at a grade A breakfast. And there’s nothing like …
SHOTS, SHOTS, SHOTS, SHOTS, SHOTS, SHOTS, EVERYBODY! Okay, not those kinds of shots… Sometimes you want a smoothie but you’re in a hurry and just don’t have time to drink a full one. And I highly do NOT recommend chugging a smoothie, ‘cause brain freeze. Ouch. Or you’re not really that hungry and just want …
Sweets for breakfast can be fun, but for me there’s nothing better than a nice savory breakfast. Add some veggies to it, and you have a healthy, hearty meal that will make you feel good the rest of the day. This broccoli frittata is just the ticket for a wholesome breakfast, and adding a kick …
I love trying new fun, yet easy breakfast recipes. These delicious grits are inspired by one of my favorite Mexican dishes, elote, also known as Mexican street corn. Traditional elote is grilled corn on the cob that is then coated with a white crema, chili powder, lime juice, and cotija cheese. It is so delicious, …
One of the most quintessential French meals is the quiche. A custardy egg filling is baked in a buttery pie crust along with a variety of different fillings such as veggies, cheese, meats, and herbs. Just for fun, I made these mini quiches, which is pretty much the same process as a regular size quiche, …
