Crepes are a great way to bring a new twist to the average idea of a sandwich. Crepes can be made or store-bought and their light airy texture makes a perfect shelter for sweet and savory fillings like chicken and sauteed veggies or nutella and strawberries. A quick inexpensive meal that will impress the socks […]
Foodwhirl fave Mădălina of Duhlicious has these gorgeous red velvet crêpes. Just … uh… wow! I could see these as a super romantic dessert for someone extra special…. or a decadent breakfast! Mădălina says: I rolled my eyes at the red velvet cake trend, but now I can’t get enough. I’ll make any excuse to […]
This dish is refreshing and delightful. A fresh sweet bite of summer with the flavors of lemon and a hint of my secret ingredient- balsamic vinegar! Easy to do and can be made of ahead of time and assembled when need be. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, teas or dessert. From the original site: I can’t […]
This is the best egg I have EVER eaten! I made it for breakfast one day, and couldn’t stand it and made it for lunch the next day. From the original site: It doesn’t matter what meal you eat this for, it will make you completely happy! There is nothing –I repeat, NOTHING! — better […]
This recipe reconstructed how I think about baking. I am a “bake from scratch” gal but I am going to make a few changes now. This delicious cookie is made from store-bought puff pastry. Five minutes to prepare…. Ten minutes to bake… Presto, you have an attractive and delicious cookie. The success of using puff […]
My family always say no when it comes to Oatmeal until I discovered this recipe.

Special Instructions: Preparation Time: 10 minutes, Cooking Time : 20 minutes, Serves: 4 Ingredients: Oats- 150 […]
This is an easy recipe to make – you can even get the kids involved! I like it because it makes a sweet treat that isn’t too rich. You can also easily customize the cupcakes by adding different flavors of jelly for different tastes. It’s versatile, inexpensive and delicious! Quoting the original site: Then, using […]
A couple of months ago I went to Whole Foods in search of a little taste of home – there are some things I just downright miss about Texas. When I found out there was a Whole Foods nearby, I could almost smell the cowboy boots and dead grassy hills of Texas – I was […]

Our spotlight today shines on Steph of Steph Chows… She made these delectable looking Raspberry Peach Whole Grain Muffins on the fly, with no recipe… Bravo! They do look yummy AND healthy. But in case YOU need a recipe, you can get hers: Farm Fresh Muffins Thanks for sharing this with us, Steph!
My awesomely cool friend Rachel pointed out these on her Facebook, and I had to link them here. We’ve featured Tres Leches Cake here before (yay, Niki!) but I know some of you won’t go bake a cake. But everyone makes pancakes, right? They aren’t scary. So check out these Tres Leches Pancakes from Giver’s […]
With the summer so hot, when I recently planned my son’s birthday party, I decided to do it as early in the day as possible to beat the heat a bit. And since we were inviting both kids and adults, we needed ‘real food’ for everyone to munch on. A brunch was a relatively easy […]
Frittatas make a great light dinner, or a easy to serve brunch dish– If you’ve never made one, they are easier to get right than an omelet, and have a very pretty presentation! Here’s a tasty looking one from My Kitchen Addiction (previously featured in our Quiche Roundup)… I have to admit that I am […]
When I saw this I said ‘mmmmm bacon…’ and was inspired. No, I haven’t made it yet, but it is SO on the list! (It would have been great for Bacon Week, right?) So check out this yummy offering from The Runaway Spoon! Breakfast for Dinner. Who doesn’t love the thought? I particularly like a […]
Jim’s a guy just trying to make cool pancakes for his daughter… well, he’s succeeding! I stumbled across this site the other day, and not only does he have some very interesting pancake ideas, but he also has how to videos on making some of them. Very cool. Here are a couple of the more […]
The Monte Cristo is a legendary artery-clogging treat: it’s a breaded and deep-fried ham sandwich served with a side of raspberry jam and sprinkled with powdered sugar. Sounds amazing, but it’s not something I want to serve to my toddlers. Enter the waffle iron: I can make the sandwich fun and kid-friendly by making it […]
Every month, Ready Set Craft! and Mega-Crafty do 2 new recipes, one for muffins, and one for cupcakes–they call it Cup-kins! The theme this month is strawberries, and don’t these strawberry lemonade cupcakes look delish? These cupcakes leave me longing for summertime (yup, the weather is still not quite summery here in Michigan!) and a […]
French toast is one of my favorite weekend breakfasts. It’s quite easy to make, requires few ingredients, and is infinitely customizable. Following is a basic technique for making your french toast, which is quite good with just some maple syrup or powdered sugar. But once you have the basics down, you can start making it […]
The Taste Traveller is a consistently yummy blog that I like to peruse, and here’s a recent post that caught my attention… Chocolate chip espresso muffins, with a nice caffeine kick! I should call these Caffeine Kick Chocolate Chip Espresso Muffins. I don’t know about you, but I often need a little extra kick in […]
Milk Toast was something my mom always made for me on weekends. Similar to a Fondue or Welsh Rarebit, Milk Toast is a cheese sauce served over stale toasted (or just toasted) bread. Unlike Fondue or Rarebit, which are a bit more “gourmet”, Milk Toast is a simple combination of Sliced American Cheese, Milk and […]
Sometimes when flipping through food blogs, I run across an idea that makes me say “huh, I never thought to try that!”. That was my thought when seeing this post at reader Leslie’s blog, the Sunday Chef! English Muffins! We’ve done Challah Bread, Soda Bread, Cornbread (twice), and Whole Wheat Bread… So I figured English […]
Here are a few ideas! Mini Veggie Quiches at Christina EATS Quiche Lorraine Scones at Good Life Eats Pear and Camembert Quiche at The Creative Pot Ham, Asparagus, and Gruyère Quiche at My Kitchen Addiction Or this one, a Rosti Quiche… I love the idea of using potatoes… “Rosti” Quiche! When my kids were little, […]
Every time I check out Waffleizer (the blog dedicated to answering the question of Will It Waffle?) I giggle a little bit. And that’s a good thing in this world of so many oh so serious food blogs. Go check it out. I couldn’t decide what to feature today, so I’m breaking my unwritten rule […]
This would be a great dish for Easter Brunch! Hi everybody! We’re Chica and Jo and we’re here to tell you that we love garlic. I mean we REALLY love garlic. You have to love it to even consider something called Garlic Pie, right? Yes, garlic is a great accompaniment to many meals, but sometimes […]
I rarely seem to make the same recipe twice. Boredom mostly. But with corned beef, comes cabbage. And with corned beef & cabbage comes Irish soda bread. This recipe is not the true Irish soda bread I remember from my youth. There is no buttermilk or seeds in this recipe, and it is definitely more […]
