Cereal Breakfast Shake
The kid and I have a new favorite breakfast shake. The first time I made this for him, he wasn’t really sure what to think. “Cereal in a milkshake is just weird, mom“, he whimpered as he sat there with a concerned look on his face, clenching his beloved Kellogg’s smacks box. In all honesty, he’s a great sport and always willing to try my somewhat strange dinner concoctions or…
Breakfast Pasta Bake
For years I’ve searched for that one breakfast pasta casserole—strange as it may sound to the Dutchies—recipe my grandmother always use to make. It wasn’t in the recipes I found after my mom died. When I described the dish to a friend of mine: the flavor, texture and feel to it, she handed me an old recipe belonging to her mother that she thought might to be the one. Or…
Eggs, Bacon & Toast Cups
Spur of the moment posting so had to shoot this really quick. It shows. I must have jumped a foot high when I found these brilliant breakfast egg, bacon & toast cups on the Martha Stewart site. Had to do a little tweaking because the original recipe just didn’t out work for me. Plus, I added some cheese because, well, just because… This one’s going on our Christmas breakfast table….
Cherry Tomato & Olive Clafoutis
A classic Clafoutis is a rustic French dessert made with cherries, but guess what; there’s no rule that says you can’t turn it into something savory as well. I’ll often turn sweet recipes into savory ones because I just have a meat tooth instead of a sweet tooth. Think of this recipe as a sort of Quiche without the pastry base. What we’re talking about here is a creamy batter,…
Kefta Mkaouara
The moment I bought my tagine I knew this traditional Moroccan dish would be the very first meal I’d cook in it. Kefta Mkaouara is a simple, no-nonsense spicy meatball tagine that is to die for. You’re talking wonderfully seasoned meatballs that are slowly simmered in a sauce made from onion, garlic, tomatoes, spices and (in my case) ras el hanout and harissa. These ingredients combined create a deep, rich…
Savory & Spicy Cornbread
I know cornbread is a very traditional type of food, and some of you will curl into fetal position and suck your thumb at the very thought of cornbread that is not sweet, smooth and unruffled. Better run and hide. Don’t say I didn’t warn you! You see, I’ve added sweet onion. I’ve added spicy jalapeño. I’ve added bacon. And last but definitely not least, I’ve added cheddar. It’s hearty….
