Bright Rainbow Bell Pepper Brunch: Eggs Over Easy in Bell Pepper Slices, Topped with Fontina Cheese and Sprinkled with Black Pepper and Parsley, Drizzled with Hot Sauce, and Served with Seed Toast
Spring is (technically) here, but it doesn’t feel like it! Especially with another snow storm making its way through (we are NINE inches and counting so far here!). So, I decided I wanted something colorful to brighten the day and crafted this bell pepper brunch tray! It’s the perfect balance between sweet, spicy, and savory,…
Baked Irish Breakfast Oatmeal: Steel-Cut Oats, Whole Milk, Apple Sauce, Honeycrisp Apple Pieces, Honey, Cinnamon and Vanilla, With a Crisp Coconut Sugar and Granola Top
St. Patrick’s day is right around the corner! One of my favorite parts about celebrating any holiday is the food – especially ones with a unique cultural heritage. I am (supposedly) 1/4 Irish, so I figured now is a good time to learn more about and embrace my heritage. Additionally, I have a trip to…
Delicious and Filling Pizza Brunch Bagel: Onion Poppyseed Bagel, Topped with Pizza Sauce, Mozzarella, Pepperoni and a Sunnyside-Up Egg, Sprinkled with a Variety of Seasonings
What happens when you have a snow day, really want brunch and also a pizza? You make pizza brunch bagels! My first memories of pizza bagels were from my internship at Johns Hopkins Hospital back in the summer of 2013. A few of the people I worked with raved about the great pizza bagels made…
Blissful Breakfast Buddha Bowl: Kale, Edamame, Cherry Tomatoes, Butternut Squash Noodles, and Seed Toast with Scallion Cream Cheese
It has been a full (but great!) week, and I am so thrilled to have the chance to cook and create again this weekend! One of my favorite meals to “reset” is a Buddha Bowl. Buddha Bowls are SO satisfying, and you can basically use whatever vegetables, nuts, seeds, grains, fruits, proteins, etc. that you…
Savory Ham and Cheddar Puff Pastry Swirls: Buttery Puff Pastry, Stuffed with Honey Mustard, Slices of Honey Maple Ham, and a Mixture of Champagne and Stoudt Cheddar, Topped with a Homemade Sweet Spicy Spread
These pastries remind me of summer mornings at the beach. There is an adorable French pastry shop at Rehoboth Beach I always make a point of going to when I’m in the area, and they make these INCREDIBLE ham and cheese croissants. I haven’t mastered my croissant skills (yet), but I have found a way of making…
Dad’s Famous Pancakes (or, as he calls them, “Dadcakes”): Whole Wheat Pancake Mix, Stuffed with Fresh Blueberries, Pecan Pieces and Light Brown Sugar, Topped with Whipped Cream and Maple Syrup
My family has come a LONG way in our pancake game – for many years, we used the “shake” containers and just added water. In the past few years though, along with a change in eating habits and food preferences in general, we started experimenting. Especially my Dad. I rarely order pancakes out (I don’t…
Decadent Chocolate Strawberry Crepes: Thin Whole Wheat Cocoa Crepes, Stuffed with Chocolate Hazelnut Spread and Fresh Strawberries, Topped with Whipped Cream and Chocolate Drizzle
What’s more romantic than French cuisine on Valentine’s Day? Probably very few things. And these crepes are just the ticket. I always felt that crepes would be something I would “definitely have to order out” because they looked so complicated to make. But they are, in fact, entirely possible to make at home. And, actually,…
Savory Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict: Fresh Parsley, Black Pepper, Creamy Hollandaise Sauce, Poached Eggs, Thin Slices of Smoked Salmon, All on a Toasted Honey Whole Wheat English Muffin
Eggs benedict is my FAVORITE thing to order when I go out for brunch! It’s so good, and each restaurant does it a little differently. I love any eggs benedict with seafood incorporated into the recipe – my favorite EVER was at a small café in Nova Scotia that server lobster eggs benedict. It was…
Overnight Chocolate Cherry Muesli: Muesli Mix Soaked in Milk and Cocoa Powder, Topped with Black Cherries, Sweet Cherry Preserves, Dried Sour Cherries, Walnuts and Chocolate Chips
One week until VALENTINE’S DAY!!! Yes, I know, it’s a corny holiday. But it’s a great way to spread love to people you care about! And what better way to do that then surprising a significant other, partner, husband, wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, friend, family member (really whoever!) with a sweet breakfast treat! I was first introduced…
