Prosciutto, Egg and Fontina Breakfast Pizza

May 18, 2014

If you’re the type of person who enjoys breakfast for dinner, let me recommend this breakfast pizza. It has all the fixings of a hearty morning meal – ham, eggs and cheese – atop a thick pillowy “crust” that’s more akin to soft white bread than chewy pizza dough.

Citrus Chia Waffles with Honeyed Oranges

May 17, 2014

While I enjoy travelling, there’s nothing like the feel of coming home – to Rookie, my husband and, of course, a kitchen.

Raspberry Coconut Cookie Granola

May 9, 2014

It’s been exactly five days since I made my last batch of cookie granola. I can’t stop making – and eating – this sweet, crunchy treat. I suppose there are far worse addictions – drugs, smoking, shopping. So, in the grand scheme of things, my cranola habit is pretty innocuous….

Golden Cornmeal Waffles

May 8, 2014

When cornbread and waffles collide, you get one of my favorite weekend breakfast treats: cornmeal waffles. Similar to crispy buttermilk waffles, they can go sweet or savory, depending how you dress them and hold up well to a number of toppings – powdered sugar, maple syrup, fruit, even fried chicken….
