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

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

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.

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.

We’ve taken them to hotels for a wonderful weekend of… Continue reading Gluten-Free Eggs Benedict

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

Raspberry Rhubarb Muffins

If there are two fruits I look forward to all year it’s rhubarb and raspberries. While it’s true that you can get raspberries year-round, they’re at their freshest during the summer months. That’s when they’re sweetest and perfect for fruit salads, bars or cakes. The timing is perfect because it’s also when rhubarb is in… Continue reading Raspberry Rhubarb Muffins

Bunny Tail Scones

When I think of Easter I think of jelly beans, dying Easter eggs, and lots and lots of chocolate. All these things are what the kids look forward to over the Easter weekend. But while they’re thinking about where they’re going to find their next plastic egg, I’m thinking about what to serve for either… Continue reading Bunny Tail Scones
