We have discovered a new favorite – sweet cornbread with coconut. Bolo de Fubá, a traditional Brazilian cornmeal cake known for its moist texture and subtly sweet flavor, was the inspiration for this dish. I served it alongside a black bean stew and it offered a sweet balance to the savory and slightly spicy stew….
How does coconut pancakes topped with Bananas Foster and whipped cream sound for dinner? It sounds pretty decadent, doesn’t it? I thought so, too. While searching the internet for a new pancake recipe, I ran across this one for Homemade Coconut Pancakes from The Spruce Eats. I adjusted the recipe a bit based on our…
I fell in love with Birchermüesli in 2012 when I visited Germany for the first time. That was a few years before the overnight oats trend really took off in the USA. I was there for a conference and my husband, being the beer fanatic that he is, couldn’t pass up the opportunity to tag…
My family loves breakfast! On the weekends, I tend to cook a big farm breakfast. In the summer, however, I don’t want to eat that much food, let alone stand in front of a hot stove cooking it. This breakfast frittata is a perfect compromise and uses up leftovers from the week. I make…
I love this article and video about puffed eggs from Colonial Williamsburg’s historic food blog. I’ve eaten eggs many ways for many meals, but I haven’t seen eggs made this way before! Eggs weren’t just for breakfast in the 18th century. In fact, they were often a side dish to a meal, and not just…

Every year at Christmas time, I try to give something homemade to my “mirror”, Steph. Steph and I exchange yummy goodies all year long, so it’s becoming a tad difficult to find new treats. This year, however, I decided to make granola from scratch. I’ve never made it, but this recipe is definitely going on the annual treat…
Christmas morning is a madhouse … it certainly was when I was a kid and it still is now that I have a kid … and dogs! The last thing a mom wants to deal with is breakfast. Okay, at least this mom. Try this easy Christmas tree made from cinnamon rolls to make the…
White chocolate macadamia nut cookies are one of my favorite. I decided to try my hand at making pancakes that mimic the sweet nuttiness of the cookie. They were so good topped with strawberries, hazelnut spread and more white chocolate … almost like eating dessert for breakfast! Okay, it WAS like eating dessert for…
In honor of my Scotch-Irish roots … and, of course, St. Patrick’s Day, I popped out of bed this morning and made oatmeal scones for breakfast. Okay, I didn’t exactly pop out of anywhere. It was more like a slow drag. I’m not a morning person! I am, however, an oat person … love them…
Biscuits and gravy was a staple breakfast item when I was growing up. It’s food that sticks with you during long work days. My daddy loved these, my grandpa loved these! I remember my mom and my grandma getting up early in the morning on the weekends to pull together breakfast of big fluffy…
