{Indian Breakfast} Aloo Paratha
My son went to Dehli for a week last summer and ever since he came back he has been making aloo paratha for breakfast. A stuffed flatbread, it can be made with any kind of filling you want, but spiced mashed potatoes are both delicious and traditional. I would claim that we make…
{gluten free recipe} Perfect Summer Biscuits
I love biscuits. Love ‘em. In the middle of winter, I whip up a batch and serve them with a hearty meal. Then summer arrives and fruit shows up at the market. And then? Well, I almost run into the kitchen to bake a pan of biscuits. Today let’s talk about how to make easy,…
{Kitchen Therapy} Mental Consolidation & Quinoa Waffles
I have written a lot about breakfast on this blog. I’ve realized recently that making breakfast is meaningful to me. I like eating breakfast foods, but I now recognize that, more importantly, the process of cooking breakfast improves my mental health. When I feel scattered and disorganized, making breakfast helps me to consolidate and settle…

{my breakfast obsession} David Eyre’s Pancake
Drama and simplicity: two words that most aptly describe this fun-filled pancake. I started research for this blogpost with the idea of expanding on my previous experiments with popovers. I continue to find popovers easy and delicious, but wanted to learn to make something even easier to make, bigger and easier to clean up after….
{Mexican Cooking} molletes
This post could have also easily been titled: {keeping it all down} Weird things nauseous pregnant people eat, but I thought I’d keep this recipe true to its roots in my repertoire of nostalgic dishes from my time living in Mexico in 2003. But yes, in case you were wondering, I am expecting our third…
{recipe} Popovers: my latest breakfast obsession
Popovers are my latest food obsession. Since having a baby a couple months ago, we’ve had guests staying with us periodically. Despite being preoccupied with the baby, I love to cook and have been relieved to have something special for our visitors that doesn’t require excessive amounts of my time. I have wonderful memories of…
{Enjoying} Swiss Chard: Quiche
I love quiches. They are my go-to dish and since I am a total cheater and use store-bought pie crusts, they are really easy to make. It doesn’t matter what kind of veggies you have on hand, you can somehow turn them into a quiche filling. Although now that I think about it, carrots might…
