Being the food people we are, the best part of Hanukkah is unequivocally the latkes. Obsessed and enamored with these Jewish hashbrowns, Erin and I were compelled to make our own delicious brunch meal (actually for dinner) starring latkes and corned beef (another Jewish staple). We have to tip our hats to Stopsky's Delicatessen on Mercer Island...

I am planning on eating as much gingerbread as humanly possible this December— for breakfast, lunch, and dessert. Dustin would probably kill me if I served him something gingerbread for dinner! I love the flavor of gingerbread in waffles and pancakes, and have very fond memories of some delicious gingerbread pancakes from Kerbey Lane in...

Thanksgiving morning started out on a sweet note with pumpkin French Toast casserole and a Texans victory (even if just by the skins of their teeth). What a nerve-wracking week to be a Texans fan! For the Texans first ever Thanksgiving day game (morning game for us West Coasters), we decided to prepare this French Toast dish the night before...

Usually, when I make pancakes at home, they end up too thin for my liking. Don't get me wrong, they are tasty. But they aren't like the thick and fluffy pancakes you get from the best brunch spots. That being said, I had buttermilk and some leftover pumpkin puree in the fridge with no planned uses, so I was bound and determined to make thick and...

While we have had success with no-yeast cinnamon rolls, I am now officially convinced they can never replace cinnamon rolls made with yeast-raised dough and lots of time and love. I made The Pioneer Woman's Famous Cinnamon Rolls with my mom around the holidays a few years ago and had since forgotten how delicious they were. The original recipe...

Dustin ended up working from home on his birthday since there isn't too much going on at work at the moment. That meant we got an entire day together to hang out together and celebrate! We started out the lazy morning with mini cake batter donuts. I added food coloring to the glaze to make them more festive— green was Dustin's color of choice....

Last year around this time, we went apple picking as a family (Bonnie included). We had a great time, but the only thing that was missing from our trip was the experience of eating donuts alongside freshly pressed apple cider, something Dustin remembered very vividly from his trips as a kid. We haven't managed to find time to go apple picking...

At first it was a little weird, but now we really enjoy football and brunch on Sunday mornings. With the Texans as the national game of the week on Sunday morning, we finally got a chance to make our own football brunch— so much better than the bar food we usually eat. This seemed like the perfect morning to make creme brûlée french toast...

Perfect for a lazy brunch, and the possibilities are endless. Basically just take your favorite savory breakfast items and dump them on a baked pizza crust. We baked a pizza crust with a little bit of olive oil and a sprinkling of cheese, then once it came out of the oven, we topped the crust with cooked chorizo, chopped potato wedges,...

Brunch is without a doubt one of my favorite parts of the weekend. I'm all about a big leisurely meal that basically allows you to eat breakfast food for lunch and drink orange juice spiked with a bit of champagne. We don't actually go out for brunch on the weekends that often, but rather we try to make it at home. These Mexican eggs benedict...
