I find Paleo/Whole30 breakfasts to be the hardest of the day because I’m so used to eating cereal with a big cup of tea in the morning. It’s so easy to have and requires no effort or planning. So now that I’ve started my Whole30 month, I find myself having to plan my food more […]
Breakfast & Brunch
Lemon Ricotta Pancakes
I had some leftover ricotta after making a number of recipes this week, so I decided to use it to make these amazing lemon ricotta pancakes. They are zesty from the lemon and fluffy from the ricotta and the combination of the two make one amazing breakfast. I like to eat them with fresh fruit, […]
Baked Brie
I wasn’t a fan of Brie on it’s own until I learned you can bake it in pastry. Once I tried it, it quickly became one of my favorite party appetizers. It’s beyond easy to make and it brings that wow factor to any party. It’s a beautiful package of creaminess sweetened by the nicest […]
Belgian Waffles
Belgian Waffles are similar to classic waffles, but they are thicker with deeper indentations. They tend be crusty on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside. These have an extra tablespoon of sugar in them too which makes them almost perfect to eat without any toppings. Almost. Belgian waffles are also the perfect […]
Eggs in Purgatory
Some people say the ‘purgatory’ refers to the red hot sauce and others say it’s because of the spicy red pepper. Either way, this dish is dynamite. I somehow made eggs taste like pasta in this homemade sauce and it was absolutely divine. Use a good crusty bread to soak up the sauce – you […]
Baked Challah French Toast
Much like my traditional challah french toast recipe, this recipe has a similar ending even though the process is different. You can add any fruit or nut to this recipe and it freezes great!
Mini Egg Frittatas
When I had Amelia, I realized quickly that one-handed foods are a must for any new mom. I really struggled with getting healthy foods in because I wasn’t able to sit down for a proper meal. So, my cousin, Carolyn, made these egg muffins for me and I’ve been making them ever since (even though […]
My Favorite Fluffy Pancakes
Sunday mornings are for pancakes in our house. We love cooking together in our pj’s and starting the day in a lazy kind of way. These pancakes only take 5-minutes to prep and another 5 minutes to cook (as long as your pan is preheated!). And while we normally eat them on the weekends, Amelia […]
Classic Challah French Toast
My all-time favorite breakfast is challah french toast. My mom made it for me as a kid and I can’t eat it any other way! The egginess of the challah bread coupled with the soaking of the bread in the egg mixture (rather than just dunking it) is what makes it extra decadent. I know […]
Homemade Granola
I love making granola! I make it every week and my family gobbles it up. We put it on yogurt, on ice cream or eat it right out of the container. You can customize it in so many ways too! Here’s how:
