For Easter brunch we got up Sunday morning and made a delicious savory french toast. Erin's always been a big biscuits and gravy fan, so we made a chicken sausage and maple sage gravy (a la Skillet) to top some griddled brioche bread from Macrina— the perfect blend of sweet and savory flavors. To make the gravy, we made a roux by melting...

I don't think I can ever eat French Toast made with regular bread again. Or banana bread not drizzled in warm maple syrup. Basically take your favorite banana bread, or whichever kind of banana bread you happen to have lying around the house (cookie butter banana bread, I'm looking at you) if you are like me and never bake the exact same...

In between all of Erin's traveling, she managed to share her graces with me for a mere twelve hours between flights. She'd had a series of annoying and frustrating travels, so I wanted to give her one comfort of home. Since she got in real late, and was leaving before lunch, that meant I was cooking breakfast! Knowing Erin's love for sweets,...

For a couple that loves eggs as much as we do, it's hard to see how we haven't stumbled upon a frittata up to this point. Well we haven't, and that was a mistake. We finally took the plunge into making this wonderful egg dish! The first time we had Greek omelets was at Hobbit Cafe back in Houston. You might recognize that name because I think...

Our first Valentine's Day as a married couple will be spent apart, as I will be leaving for New York at 7 AM on Thursday (fingers crossed NYC will have recovered from the blizzard and there aren't any more storms on the way), so we celebrated Valentine's Day a little early with red velvet pancakes and cream cheese glaze for brunch over the...

We already had the buttermilk from the Chopped Stetson Salad dressing and a large box of pecans sent to us from Texas (thanks Uncle Kevin), so we decided to continue with our restaurant recreations from our trip to Arizona by cooking up some jalapeño pancakes for brunch this weekend. It was such an interesting flavor combination that we would...

I stumbled upon a recipe for waffles using champagne in the batter around New Year's Eve as a way to use up leftover champagne from an evening of celebration. We weren't planning on eating breakfast on New Year's Day, as we didn't plan on getting up until afternoon, and even then we didn't plan on cooking. I decided maybe this would be a fun...

Dustin and I have very different opinions on sweet potatoes. I love the sweet starch, and consuming something orange makes me feel a little bit better about myself and my vegetable eating habits. For Dustin, I know that sweet potatoes are just a sad excuse imitating a regular potato. The other night while on a cold evening walk, we had a lengthy...

Erin typically does the cooking, but every once in awhile, I force her to let me cook. Usually, that means me grilling up a steak. However, I convinced her to give up her culinary duties one morning and let me griddle up some pancakes. I was really feeling chocolate pancakes, and I wanted to throw a seasonal twist into it, so chocolate...

While I didn't make myself a cake for my birthday, I did make a special breakfast combining two of my absolutely favorite desserts inspired by Cake Spy and a recipe in my Cookie Dough Lover's Cookbook— chocolate chip cookie dough stuffed cinnamon rolls! I really wanted to make cinnamon rolls from scratch like I did for the pumpkin pie rolls...
