My Thai brother-in-law made this omelet for us once and now it’s one of our favorite weekend breakfasts. Eaten with rice, it’s an easy breakfast for dinner too. You can use whatever veggies you have on hand, but we like tomatoes, scallions and cilantro. We eat it with Sriracha, a spicy Thai chili sauce that’s … Continue reading Thai Omelet for Breakfast (Or Dinner!)
One of the things I enjoy most about St. Patrick’s Day is the leftover corned beef. I posted my recipe for homemade (preservative-free) corned beef earlier this week and I was sure to make extra for a couple of my favorite corned-beef dishes: corned beef hash and Reuben sandwiches. I hope you enjoy them as … Continue reading Happy Corned Beef Day!

The tradition of pancake racing supposedly started when an English lady heard the church bells ringing on Shrove Tuesday while she was cooking pancakes.

I cooked up some … Continue reading Better (and healthier) than McDonalds Breakfast Biscuits

It’s from her Hollyhocks and Radishes … Continue reading Biscuits From My Childhood

The culprit: How could I be mad at something so cute? This year I decided I would … Continue reading Container gardening
Over the years I’ve made a lot of cinnamon rolls and I’ve tried out a lot of different recipes, but I’m still in pursuit of the perfect cinnamon roll. To me the perfect cinnamon roll is moist (but not undercooked), has a liberal amount of cinnamony filling, and just tastes good over all. If you’ve … Continue reading Saturday breakfast: homemade cinnamon rolls
Since tomorrow is a snowday – YAY!! – it’s a great day to make a nice breakfast. My sister gave me this french toast recipe and it’s very easy and delicious — especially with homemade blueberry syrup. Hopefully you have all of the ingredients at home because the grocery store is a zoo! Baked French … Continue reading Baked French Toast with Blueberry Syrup
