Jane Espenson, a TV writer I adore, was recently on twitter talking about how she’s never satisfied by the store bought cranberry muffins she gets at various coffee shops. I know what she means because I feel the exact same way. The muffins at those chain coffee shops are either too orangey or too sweet,… Continue reading Cranberry Apple Muffins

Strawberry Stuffed French Toast for Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day is this Sunday and if you’re like me you’re having a nice brunch with your family, mom included. My mother’s coming into town to help celebrate my son’s 2nd birthday which is the day before. I don’t remember the last time I spent Mother’s Day with my mom. Since she lives in northern… Continue reading Strawberry Stuffed French Toast for Mother’s Day
Bacon Mozzarella Scramble
A few weeks ago, I decided to go on a diet. Nothing too extreme, just trying to firm up some of my more flabby areas. As a new mom… okay, it’s not that new, actually my son is almost 2 years old; but it’s a good excuse. Anyway, as a mom it’s hard to get… Continue reading Bacon Mozzarella Scramble
Cap’n Crunch French Toast
My husband and I moved to the South Bay about 10 years ago. We moved here because we both wanted to get out of Los Angeles and we’d been coming down here quite a bit on the weekends. It’s a wonderful area, right on the beach. And even though you’re only 30 minutes south of… Continue reading Cap’n Crunch French Toast
Strawberry Balsamic Syrup
Thanks to Rachel over at La Fuji Mama, I’ve discovered that it’s pancake week. And tomorrow is officially Pancake Day. Evidently it’s a holiday celebrated the week before Lent. Since meat, fish, dairy products and eggs are forbidden during Lent, this is the last week you’re allowed to partake in cheese, milk and other dairy… Continue reading Strawberry Balsamic Syrup
Breakfast Potato Sausage Hash
Not sure if you remember, but a few months ago I attended a cooking class at The Depot in Torrance. Well, I had such a good time at that cooking class, I couldn’t wait to do another one. And since I absolutely love breakfast, I decided the next class I had to attend was the Breakfast in Bed class. … Continue reading Breakfast Potato Sausage Hash
Lemon Blueberry Pancakes
My in-laws were here this weekend. Since they made dinner for us on Saturday, I thought it would be nice if I made breakfast on Sunday. And since blueberry season is practically over, I thought some lemon blueberry pancakes would be a great way to get our blueberry fix in before the long winter months.… Continue reading Lemon Blueberry Pancakes
Dutch Baby for Father’s Day Brunch
I know that breakfast in bed and flowers are reserved for Mother’s Day, and barbecues and outdoor parties are reserved for Father’s Day, but why? Doesn’t a father who works hard all week and comes home in time for dinner and help put the kids (or in my case, baby) to bed deserve some pampering… Continue reading Dutch Baby for Father’s Day Brunch
Fried Matzoh
I know Passover has come and gone, but I still have leftover matzoh. It never fails, no matter how much I buy, whether it’s one box or six, I always have at least a few pieces of the unleavened bread left on the shelf. And while it does make an okay cracker, if the… Continue reading Fried Matzoh
