We are back in Madison after enjoying a great time on Minnesota’s North Shore. We hiked, we relaxed and we ate! This is one of the recipes that has become a “tradition” whenever we are up there. While I am not usually a fan of sweet breakfasts, I […]
I am happy to say that we are again visiting one of our favorite places: Lake Superior’s North Shore in Minnesota. Aside from the majestic views of the lake and the great hiking along the Superior Hiking Trail, we have enjoyed getting to know and taste some of […]
I love potatoes! I may have said that before but I will say that again. And though I am usually not a fan of eating breakfast, the weekends are usually an exception. This recipe combines two flavors I love: papas and chorizo (potatoes and chorizo). And if you […]
Cazuela de Huevos means “egg casserole” in Spanish. But this casserole is much more than just eggs. It has many of the flavors I love, which is why I noticed it in one of my favorite cookbooks, 1,000 Mexican Recipes by Marge Poore. On the weekend, we enjoy […]
This is an easy breakfast or brunch recipe that you can put in the oven while you take care of everything else. It is even easier if you have leftover rice. Make sure your eggs are at room temperature or your casserole will take longer to bake. We […]
For breakfast this morning, we had fluffy scrambled eggs with a slightly tart but sweet tomatillo sauce. Alongside, we had some refried black beans sprinkled with Manchego cheese and some fresh pineapple, papaya and banana tossed with lime juice. All of this while overlooking the bay. I thought […]
We recently had some bananas that were getting nicely sweet and ripe and needed to be used in some way. Usually, I make banana bread and that is what I did again. But this time, I used a recipe from Marge Poore’s 1,000 Mexican Recipes cookbook. I noticed […]
This breakfast is so good you could serve it on your honeymoon or an anniversary. Just think breakfast in bed. And though the name of this dish includes the word “divorced,” it is a delicious marriage of the flavors of a Mexican breakfast! OK, enough with the marriage […]
This is almost a marriage of scrambled eggs and pico de gallo. If that sounds like a good match to you, give it a try! We usually have a breakfast with Mexican flavors on the weekend: some eggs, some beans, tortillas and OJ and/or coffee. And the flavors […]
If you want a hearty breakfast, this is it! No need for a “second breakfast.” This was a morning meal we would enjoy whenever we would visit my mom’s aunts and uncles at their ranchos (farms) in Baja California, Mexico. Northern Mexicans love their beef! Sometimes, my parents […]
Though I have heard it said many times, “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day,” I usually don’t have it. I rarely feel hungry in the morning, so why eat? And when I do, I try to keep it simple. But for some reason, weekends are […]
Cold weather calls for something sweet with a little bit of heat. And these biscotti answer. I love the combination of the tart and sweet cherries with the rich chocolate and spicy Ancho chile. You can eat them alone, but they taste great with a fresh cup of […]
I thought I invented these! As a kid, I would put some leftover beans on bread with cheese and salsa when I wanted a quick snack. I didn’t know they already had a name: Molletes. This is the more traditional version, which is usually served for breakfast. You […]
Growing up in southern California, we had fruit trees in our garden and around the neighborhood. Lemons, oranges, pomegranates, and even apricots. As a kid, I loved the fresh oranges, lemons, and pomegranates. The apricots, not so much. But now they are probably my favorite fruit. And dried […]
A long time ago, when I was a kid, I loved cereal. Especially Kellogg’s Corn Flakes with a ton of sugar and milk. Now, not so much. But I do love grains for breakfast. And Rick Bayless provides a great recipe. I’ve only modified it a bit. No […]
