Blueberries are one of my favorite fruits. I love their flavor, I love their color. In fact, look at the beautiful color of the filling for these buns… The filling was so pretty and so tasty, that my husband and I devoured all the extra filling immediately. He spread it on rice cakes, I ate…

Peach Jam
Peaches, peaches, peaches! I can’t help myself, if I pass a peach stand, I stop and buy some. It feels like they are around for so short a period, I have to indulge while they are here. But sometimes, I buy too much. I had 8 peaches that were threatening to over-ripen. So, I searched…
Kubana – Yemenite Pull-Apart Sabbath Bread
This was another new one for me; I had never made a steamed bread before. And, although it was not pretty, it was incredibly tasty. Along with the overnight steamed bread, I made some huevos haminados (Sephardic slow-roasted eggs). They are the silver packets you see in the bread. The egg whites turn a beautiful…
Eggs and Lox on Challah
What can you do with leftover Challah when you are not in the mood for french toast? How can you eat lox if you don’t have any cream cheese? Never fear, I have the solution. A Challah, egg and lox open-faced sandwich! You’ll be tempted to pick it up and bite it, but it is really…
Date-Banana Smoothie
My husband says bananas are the perfect food, but I say the same thing about medjool dates. So, for the ‘perfect’ breakfast smoothie, why not combine the two? Add in some almond milk and vanilla and it is a yummy and healthy way to start the day! This recipe is for one, it is easily multiplied…
Pan con Tomate (Toast with Tomato)
Another of my favorite foods from our trip to Barcelona was Pan con Tomate – sourdough bread or a baguette toasted, rubbed with garlic then spread with grated tomato. So simple, yet so delicious. And a great use for an heirloom tomato from my garden. I had made a simple, delicious sourdough bread the day…
Zucchini Bread Waffles
“These are the best waffles ever!!” – was my 7 year old’s reaction after his first bite. And that was after complaining that he did not want waffles for breakfast today. I have been busy making zucchini breads – our one “must have” each summer. Slowly filling the freezer with them. I usually also make zucchini bread…
Multigrain Waffles
We are vacationing on the Outer Banks this week. I am looking forward to getting some local peaches and nuts, and probably some wine as well. But while we are gone, I leave you with a breakfast I made before we left – perhaps my favorite waffles yet. Multigrain Waffles from Food Network Kitchens 1…
Baked Strawberry Pecan Oatmeal
The strawberries are finally ripening in my garden AND I am beating the bunnies and birds to them (for the most part). They are new plants this year, so my harvest is slow and steady, not the rush of berries I have had with more mature plants. So I am supplementing with berries from local…
Caramelized Onion Tart
What’s there not to like about caramelized onions? And really, what’s not to like about baking them into a tart, especially with Farmer Kim’s fresh eggs? We had larger pieces of tart for dinner last night and I had a small piece for breakfast this morning. It was a savory, tasty treat for both meals. My…
