This granola is a subtle celebration to fall. Served with yogurt or milk, it makes a great breakfast or snack. While it’s not overwhelmingly pumpkin flavored it has a warm spice that goes well with the colder weather. This is also the first granola recipe I’ve seen without coconut…anyone know why granola always has coconutRead more
This recipe caught my eye for many reasons. 1) zucchini bread is delicious 2) Smitten Kitchen recipes never lead me astray 3) sneaking veggies into breakfast is hard, but hiding them in sweet pancakes is brilliant 4) zucchini bread in pancake form?! These pancakes come out kind of thick, so I’d recommend spreading them aroundRead more
Stratas are savory bread puddings. They can be served for breakfast, lunch or dinner. They need good crusty bread that takes a good long soak. I made this for a retreat my dad went on, so I prepared it in stages which worked great. Two days before the retreat I sautéd the vegetables and preparedRead more
Alas my usual fruit, yogurt and granola breakfast has been replaced with a less seasonally dependent breakfast. This one’s a keeper. Using frozen berries you still get a good serving a fruit in your morning meal, old-fashioned oats provide good complex carbs, and milk provides good calcium and protein. It’s a perfect combo for aRead more
I’ve been making waffles about as long as I’ve been making pancakes. However waffles aren’t requested as frequently as pancakes. Maybe it’s because in my family we eat them hot off the griddle and you can fit a lot more pancakes on at one time than the limited 4 portions determined by a waffle-iron. DespiteRead more
Since we had some blackberries to use up, I tried this coffee cake. It’s a simple, rustic little cake. Not very impressive looking, but with the perfect balance of sweet, tart, crumble and cake. This makes a wonderful casual coffee cake. If you don’t have blackberries you can sub in whatever fruit you have onRead more
I’ve been intrigued by this dish for a while. Recently when I was in Boston I tried some and knew that it would be a dish Sister would love. So when she and Chris were visiting last week, it was the perfect chance to try it. We had Chris’s parents over for brunch and IRead more
My aunt and cousins have returned from Japan! To help their transition home I made a quiche. The girls really like quiche, so it’s a convenient anytime of day meal. Since this was for kids I kept the flavors pretty mild. Italian Squash Quiche Serves 6-8 1 pie crust (I like pillsbury) 1 large summerRead more
This is my grandma’s recipe. Mom used to make it when we were little, but I hated it. These days I’m making up for all the times I didn’t eat this granola as a child. Can’t get enough! So you might as well make a double recipe when you try it. I’ve made a fewRead more
We still have some blackberries from when we went berry picking a few weeks ago. In an attempt to find a way to cook with them, I stumbled across these muffins. I liked the sound of them because they’re full of healthy ingredients and aren’t full of sugar like a lot of muffins can be.Read more
