{Gluten Free} Churro Waffles with Chocolate, Strawberry & Caramel Dipping Sauces
For my 30th birthday two months ago, my mother-in-law gave me my first ever waffle iron. It’s a gorgeous black/chrome, double-decker machine that lets me make two belgium waffles at a time. Twice the deliciousness in half the time! I’m afraid she’s created a bit of a monster, because having this thing in our kitchen makes us want to…read more »
Blueberry Breakfast Cake with Lemon Yogurt Glaze
This was originally supposed to be a “Dan in the Kitchen” post, but the man in question decided he would rather watch me bake than actually do any baking himself. Still, he spent enough time hovering over my shoulder during the baking process – “supervising” and “quality checking”, he said – that it pretty much amounted to…read more »
Acai Bowls
When we were in the North Shore part of Oahu, we saw acai bowls being sold everywhere. It seemed like every beach we went to and every road we drove on had a food truck or three parked nearby advertising “fresh fruit” and “Acai Bowls”. (Also, shrimp – but that’s another recipe/post for another day.) And every single one of…read more »
Homemade Strawberry Jam
Hi guys! So uh…it’s been a long time since my last post, huh? A month and a half, to be precise. Sorry about that! At first I was planning to just take a break from posting for one weekend, but then things got really busy at work and I didn’t have any energy/desire to cook…read more »
Sunday Brunch: Eggs Benedict Burger
I don’t know about you guys, but the dilemma that I constantly face when we go out to brunch is whether I should order something breakfast-y or something lunch-y. Usually, the struggle involves deciding between some sort of eggs benedict (smoked salmon, crab, spinach, pork belly…mmmm) and whatever delicious-sounding burger is being featured that day. On the one…read more »
Sunday Brunch: Huevos Rancheros
Huevos Rancheros is one of those things that I see on the menu of just about every brunch place we go to, but never ever think to order because why on earth would I want salsa all up on my eggs? Hollandaise sauce, yes. Soy sauce, for sure (it’s an Asian thing). Ketchup and/or salsa, nope. Buuuuttttt,…read more »
Sunday Brunch: Tropical Orange Smoothies
Short post today, folks! It was too nice outside this weekend to be cooped up in my kitchen, so instead of getting fancy with brunch, I just threw together a quick smoothie with fresh mango, banana, carrot and the pineapple I had leftover from making lava flows last week. I’m calling it a Tropical Orange…read more »
Sunday Brunch: Lemon Blueberry Muffin Tops
I have a confession to make…we didn’t cook brunch this weekend. This post is a sham! Well, it’s technically not a sham in the sense that I did actually bake muffin tops this week…but it is a sham in the sense that I specifically made them on Friday night so that I could have a post…read more »
Sunday Brunch: Smoked Salmon, Goat Cheese & Scallion Scrambled Eggs On Toast
Happy Easter, everyone! What are you all doing today? In my family, we don’t really have any Easter traditions. When I was a kid, my parents would buy me stuffed bunnies every year and take me to local Easter egg hunts, but once I got older Easter stopped being a thing. I think that happens…read more »
