Apple Challah French Toast Bake

Even though we’re getting into the citrus season, apples are still ever-present and new varieties are showing up weekly. (One of my favorites, the Sundowner, just hit the market last week!) I love apples, especially the tart, crunchy kind. You know the kind I’m talking about, those that aren’t too sweet or soft. The ones… Continue reading Apple Challah French Toast Bake

Cherry Blueberry Coffee Cake

It’s stone fruit season! I absolutely love stone fruits. This season is far and away my favorite time of year. It starts with cherries in May, then continues with apricots, peaches and plums all the way through October. I can never get enough. I buy as many pounds as I can and then make a… Continue reading Cherry Blueberry Coffee Cake

Blueberry French Toast Casserole

Cinco de Mayo may be tomorrow, but there’s another holiday right around the corner: Mother’s Day! Yes, that very important holiday where we celebrate the women in our lives. The women who took care of us from birth through those awful teenage years and yes, even into adulthood. I mean, let’s be honest, don’t you… Continue reading Blueberry French Toast Casserole

Whenever I see baskets and baskets of fresh strawberries I know that spring is here and all those delicious stone fruits like cherries and peaches aren’t too far… Continue reading Orange Strawberry Muffins

Toad in the Hole

Easter and Passover are a little less than two weeks away and if you’re anything like me, you’re already figuring out your guest list and menu. While Passover’s almost always dinner, Easter can be brunch or dinner. It really depends on when you’re heading to services. Do you like to go early in the morning… Continue reading Toad in the Hole

Gluten-Free Eggs Benedict

This Sunday is Mother’s Day. But this year, Mother’s Day will be unlike any other any of us have ever experienced. See, in the past, we’ve  taken our moms to nice restaurants for beautiful brunches with mimosas. We’ve sent them to spas for relaxing massages. We’ve taken them to hotels for a wonderful weekend of… Continue reading Gluten-Free Eggs Benedict

Blood Orange Cranberry Muffins

Have you ever noticed how different months are different colors? October and November are brown and orange, December is red and green, and March is green. Well, February is no different. Red, pink and white are in every store window and school office from one end of the country to the other. Why is everything… Continue reading Blood Orange Cranberry Muffins

Blackberry Ricotta Dutch Baby

Whenever spring comes around, I always get excited because that means stones fruits are finally available. Stone fruits, or peaches, plums and cherries, are my all time favorite fruits. I can’t wait for them to show up in the supermarket and I’m crushed when they disappear in the fall. But stone fruits aren’t the only… Continue reading Blackberry Ricotta Dutch Baby

Egg & Sausage Casserole

Mother’s Day and breakfast… those two things go together like ham and eggs or brunch and mimosas. For as long as I’ve known this holiday, I’ve always known that breakfast (or brunch) was a part of it. It all started when I was a child and made my own mother breakfast in bed. And that… Continue reading Egg & Sausage Casserole
