I love french toast. Every time I went on vacation as a kid, I would always order that for breakfast as long as it was on the menu. I have enjoyed french toast in many a state. Some of the best french toast I have had has not come while on vacation, but after a…
Breakfast
Red, White, & Blue Sweet Jam Rolls
Happy Independence Day! Today is all about the red, white, and blue. I wanted to have a nice food photo of something with those iconic colors that hopefully will make the rounds on Pinterest today (thanks for stopping by, Pinners!). I need a blue food. Of course blueberries came to mind. What could be more…
Alton Brown’s Parsnip Muffins Review
The struggle of many a parent. A kid who won’t eat her vegetables. I have a major battle with my 2-year old daughter who doesn’t want to eat any vegetables. We struggle to even get her to eat corn, which seems to be the kid’s vegetable of choice. We have to think of unique ways…
Giada’s Salami & Spinach Hash Review
Hash – the combination of potatoes along with any ingredient you find in your fridge, cooked to perfection in a frying pan (hopefully cast iron). I saw a recipe for a Salami, Bacon, and Spinach Hash on a recent episode of Giada at Home. My wife saw it and wanted to try it out for…
Giada’s Breakfast Popovers with Sausage Review
I was first introduced to the popover by Alton Brown. I liked that it was an easy way to get your dinner bread fix without having to roll out biscuit dough or wait for yeast to do it’s thing. Plenty of times I have filled them with things like butter, honey, and lemon curd. But…
Blueberry Spelt Pancakes with Peach Syrup
Using fruit that is in season that you buy either directly from the farm or pick yourself at a farm is one of my favorite things to do. Combine two different fruits in one recipe and now we are talking. I picked up some Red Haven peaches from the farmer’s market yesterday. Today I went…
Three Sisters Cocoa Snapz Cereal : Better than Cocoa Pebbles?
Even if you don’t want to admit it, we all have those childhood sweet cereals that we still love. We may not buy them all the time because we are too embarrassed but we would glad eat a bowl if we were offered. For some people Cocoa Pebbles may be one of those cereals. Fred…
Doodle’s Sugarbush Grade B Maple Syrup
When it comes to adding flavor to pancakes, french toast, and waffles, the only option in our house is the real deal, maple syrup. You won’t find any pancake syrup, full of refined sugars and high fructose corn syrup. If you spend your whole life drowning your breakfast in liquid that comes out of a…
Leftover Egg Nog French Toast
Your Christmas party is over and you find yourself with a fridge full of leftover egg nog that you could not possibly drink before it goes bad. A great way to use it is to make some french toast. French toast is all about leftovers. It was originally invented as a way to use leftover…
Alton Brown’s Sweet Crepes
It’s amazing how many different things you can do with flour when you combine it with some liquid, some eggs, and some dairy. One thing I had not done with this combination of ingredients yet is to make crepes. So as I do quite often I turned to Alton Brown. I followed his recipe for…
