I never thought of myself as a breakfast person. Yes I’ve heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and shouldn’t be overlooked but I never gave much thought to it. Dinner leftovers for a morning meal? Sounds perfect. Granola bar? That’s fine too. Well my outlook has changed. Now that I [...]

It’s always hard to go back to work after a long weekend, made even harder when you take an extra day off and turn it into a 4 day weekend. And even harder when you’ve been having this for breakfast for the last few days and now need to downgrade back to plain old hard [...]

I’m not a big breakfast or brunch person (well except for my love of bacon of course – but I think that’s perfectly appropriate to munch on all day). Generally I have no problems eating leftover pizza, beef stew, puff pastry tarts etc , but if I am going to make myself a real breakfast [...]

February’s daring bakers challenge was to make quick bread (called that because it doesn’t require any kneading or rising time). Having never made beer bread before I went with that recipe. To tell the truth I don’t really eat bread. Not because I don’t like it per say, but because there’s a limited amount of [...]

Another great daring bakers challenge. I had never made croissants from scratch before but had always wanted to learn! With 57 steps, the recipe can be a tad intimidating but with the tons of pictures provided it wasn’t too hard to follow. It does take a while though from start to finish. I started on [...]

When I go grocery shopping I always buy zucchini. And then I frequently forgot about it, it ends up hidden somewhere at the bottom of the fridge – and it goes bad. Such a shame but it really does happen all the time – (don’t even get me started on how often I buy a [...]

I made this omelet for breakfast while I was home for my mom’s birthday. Everyone loved it so much that I made it the next day for breakfast as well.  I thought it was great too but chose only to have 1 bite  (opting for shrimp and mayo for breakfast instead – don’t scrunch your [...]

I haven’t posted any breakfast recipes yet so here comes the first. I don’t really believe in breakfast foods.  In my world it is perfectly normal to heat up dinner leftovers for breakfast. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with eating meat lasagna at 8:00 am (I know some people would beg to differ). Although I don’t [...]
