Breakfast

I love sleep.  So after sleeping in until 10:00 and 10:30 respectively over the weekend, let’s just say the only thing that made me get out of bed at a decent hour was that I wanted to make a breakfast calzone for breakfast. I had leftover pizza dough from a while back – I almost like the dough better the longer it sits in the fridge. ...

I think these are my new favorite pancakes.  They are light, fluffy, slightly sweet, crunchy.  Thanks Jenn for the idea of these!  And if I ever find myself in Seattle – we are definitely getting together! 😀 I kinda just made these up with what I had on hand.  I had buttermilk, so I decided to make banana, granola buttermilk pancakes.  Each pancake is 3...

Let’s get to the fun stuff right away – to see who won my 550,000 pageview giveaway from Friday. 😀  And the winner is . . .

Hi guys!  Well, with storms the last couple days, I have been off the computer – we need to unplug it when the weather gets bad, just in case.  I am finally logging on this morning with bright blue skies and warm weather – love it! One of my bosses eats granola just about every day.  We have a busy work week coming up, so...

Thanks for all your well wishes to Joe’s big news!  He really appreciates it, and so do I. 😀  I went into my WI today with positive thoughts like I normally do, and was actually thinking I’d lost another 1.5 this week.  I actually “feel” smaller if that makes any sense.  So I was a tiny bit bummed with the scale today: But I have...

It seems to never fail that after a weekend of crappy weather, the first day of the work week is actually nice.  Although it was on the cool side, I’ll take sunshine over warmer temperatures any day of the week. Over the weekend I made the easiest pancakes.  I tweaked a recipe, so as I was making it I wasn’t sure of the points.  The...

Where the hell are my manners?!  Thank you for all your sweet comments on my new hair cut – so far I’ve been able to style it – so instead of taking 2 minutes to get ready for work, I am now up to a whole five minutes, including make-up. 😀 There is a reason I don’t bake very often.  Simply put, I am not...

I was reading Nicole’s blog the other day and she made a potato crusted quiche.  What?!  You know I am the queen of crustless quiche.  Without a crust I can add more cheese. 😀  Her question of the day was what is your favorite quiche.  Hands down mine is spinach and goat cheese.  The biggest problem with ordering quiche in a restaurant?  The damn onions!...

Thanks for all your well wishes for Hannah’s birthday yesterday!  Since she had school all day yesterday, we decided to go out for sushi on Sunday night.  Here she is ready to go: Although Hannah and I don’t do raw sushi – we like the pot stickers, aged dashi tofu, tempura shrimp and veggies – you know, all the healthy stuff – ha! Tony wasn’t...

I love making frittatas because its almost a “what do I have in the fridge” sort of dish to put together.  I love red potatoes, simply because you don’t have to peel them.  Several recipes that I saw called for putting raw potatoes in the frittata – but I wasn’t sure they would be cooked all the way through – there is nothing worse then...
