In the town where I grew up, there was a cute little corner cafe on the town’s busiest street. Every time I went there for breakfast, I ordered a scone. They were my favorite–more dense than a muffin but still light in texture and just a touch sweet. Based on my love for that cafe’s… Continue reading Glazed maple-pecan oatmeal scones

I wait all year for fall to come so that my husband will make these amazingly fluffy pumpkin pancakes with maple cream cheese glaze and toasted pecans. Every single thing that I love about the season can be summed up in one delicious bite of these breakfast showstoppers. Since my birthday happens to fall during… Continue reading FLUFFY PUMPKIN PANCAKES WITH MAPLE CREAM CHEESE GLAZE

One of my favorite things about Saturday mornings is the fact that my husband is the weekend breakfast specialist around here. He has two specialties in the kitchen, actually: breakfast and beverages (both of which come to play on the weekends, come to think of it). He’s most famous for two things: margaritas and these… Continue reading Whole grain yeasted waffles

I don’t know about you, but on the rare occasions that we go out to breakfast, I’m all about ordering something savory.  Don’t get me wrong; I love pancakes, french toast and waffles every bit as much as the next girl.  But those things are so easy to make at home.  If I’m going to… Continue reading Asparagus scramble with bacon & goat cheese

The Wolfgang Puck Express restaurant in Downtown Disney was a family favorite since the very first time we visited Walt Disney World.  We’ve enjoyed several lunch and dinner meals there, but never made it up early enough to try breakfast.  Until our most recent family trip, that is.  Back in March, we stopped by WPE… Continue reading breakfast pizza :: wolfgang puck express copycat

We have a tradition of sorts, around these parts.  That is: come weekend mornings, we ditch our boring weekday breakfast routine of oatmeal or yogurt and indulge in something far more caloric.  And tasty, too.  This morning, we woke to found that someone had finished off the milk with chocolate chip cookies last night, so… Continue reading Egg Nests
