{photo diary} the making of granola
I took A LOT of pictures for my “{edible gifts} breakfast in a basket” post. Overkill. That said, I want to share the play-by-play of the granola making…. – Christina
{edible gifts} breakfast in a basket
I like to “theme” my edible gift presentation. “Lunch in Paris”…”Cooking 101″… “Cookie Carnival”… This year {and last} is breakfast in a basket…or more appropriately “breakfast in a reusable shopping bag”. If I’m not shipping the gift, I try to always give my gifts in a stylish non-logo-ed reusable shopping bags. I can usually grab…
MY Favorite Breakfast: {Apple} Cinnamon Oatmeal
This is my favorite breakfast, and it is cooking on the stove in our home just about every morning in the Fall. It fills the entire house with warm, Fall-inspired smells–who doesn’t love that? It’s Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal, and I’m not talking that instant Quaker, dehydrated apple stuff. REAL food. Here’s how to bring this…
Apple Pancakes…Bittman’s Way
I have the recipe for Mark Bittman’s Light and Fluffy Pancakes from his How to Cook Everything cookbook memorized because I have been making them for many many years.

PB and J Oatmeal
Oatmeal is a go to breakfast in my house, as in everyday my children eat oatmeal. I have made it so many different ways, cinnamon and brown sugar with carmalized apples, mashed up banana and maple syrup, fresh berries, frozen berries (mashed). You name I have probably tried it. So in wanting to try something different…

{Chard} Two Ways
Got swiss chard in our share. Do I know what to do with it? Nope. I have no idea what these creations will taste like. I wanted to post the pics and the culinary ideas before tonight’s monthly meeting. 1) Chard leaves in frittata. I took Leslie’s chard idea of a tofu Quiche and I…
Chinese Cabbage: Korean Pancakes
I made this recipe many, many times before and they are a big hit with Miles. I haven’t made them with cabbage, but are perfect for it. And honestly, the recipe calls for cabbage, I’ve just always ignored it. I have many korean pancake recipes (we have a few korean cookbooks) but I really like…
