One of the best reasons I can think of for walking the Camino is to eat Spanish tapas, which are widely available along the route. And I think the Spanish tortilla and Padron peppers are probably my favorite of all the tapas. Spanish tortilla is a dish of eggs and potatoes that have been fried …
Since we have moved back to Arkansas, we don’t seem to have as much time for breakfast. The boys are running off to school during the week and to activities on the weekends. There is just so much happening! But Taido still tries to fix a fun breakfast on Sunday mornings while he is home …
Asparagus Potato Ricotta Pie I am such a sucker for the one dish meal that a quiche or pie can be. Also I love anything, and I mean anything, that involves pie crust or pastry dough of any kind. So this asparagus potato ricotta pie called my name as soon as I saw it in …
I mentioned a while back how much we are loving Jamie Oliver’s cookbooks since we moved to the UK. Save with Jamie is my current obsession, as we are eating mostly vegetarian these days and are always trying to save money on groceries. This is really a breakfast meal, but we have been serving it …
Fall is in the air and I am loving all things pumpkin! I have an affinity for pumpkin recipes that call for an entire can of pumpkin. They appeal to my practical side. I don’t love to save a part of a can of pumpkin puree for some undetermined use, one that usually requires that …
I made this quiche for an event this month and we all loved it. I had several requests for the recipe so I thought I would quickly share it! Mushroom Asparagus Quiche Ingredients: 1 prepared pie crust 1 half to 1 pound fresh asparagus, cut into half inch pieces (depending on how much asparagus …
We LOVE fruit smoothies at our house. I’ve been making them since before I even had a blender. I would use my food processor to make what sometimes tasted like fruit sorbets for an after pool snack. In the winter months, we eat a lot of oatmeal in the morning, but in the summertime, I …
I love breakfast foods. When the kids were out of school on Monday, we ate breakfast food all day long. I have made several frittatas lately and this one evolved from Ina Garten’s Potato Basil Frittata, which is an old standby of mine. I love the potatos on the bottom, but I omitted the ricotta …
In the past few weeks my precious grandmother has moved in with my mom and my aunt in Nashville. She’s going to split time between here and Tennessee because if there’s one thing my grandmother does not mind, it is a change of scenery now and then. In fact, her eyes light up when someone …
Granola We make two kinds of granola at our house. The first one is a recipe I have used since my early married days in Chicago and the second one is a more recent discovery. Both are delicious and make great gifts in mason jars for your friends who needs an easy breakfast! I also …
Oven Baked Three Grain Oatmeal This is my new favorite (and easy) hot cereal: Three Grain Oatmeal. I’ve added it to my breakfast arsenal, especially for when guests are in town. You put it all in a casserole dish (or in my case, a cast iron skillet) the night before and set your oven timer …
Taido is the star breakfast cook at our house, and his breakfast crepes are the favorite for sure! His waffles and pancakes make weekly appearances on our table, but the crepes on an occasional Saturday morning are a special treat. Incidentally, my favorite breakfast growing up was crepes. My mom made them on Saturday mornings …
