Pina Colada Rolls

Pina Colada Rolls
I love cinnamon rolls like no other, but sometime on a summer morning, rich cream cheese icing and warm cinnamon don't hit the spot. Traditional cinnamon rolls are more suited for a crisp fall morning; however pina colada rolls are the perfect summertime equivalent! We used the same dough as the no-yeast cinnamon rolls because, hey, who wants...

As promised— more uses for leftover bechamel suace! Aren't we resourceful?! Now may I present to you, the beautiful croque madame! The croque monsieur will forever remind us of our trip to Paris where we got these delicious grilled ham and gruyere sandwiches covered with bechamel sauce from a little corner shop and devoured them in front of...

No-Yeast Cinnamon Rolls

No-Yeast Cinnamon Rolls
I've made yeasted cinnamon rolls once before (the famous Pioneer Woman's version), long before we started recording our food adventures on the web. I definitely plan to make them again because they were so darn tasty, reminiscent of Cinnabon but covered in a maple glaze. But sometimes what I really want is cinnamon rolls made fresh in the...

Green Chile + Cheddar Biscuits and Chorizo Gravy

Green Chile + Cheddar Biscuits and Chorizo Gravy
I love the idea of taking plain ol' Southern biscuits and gravy and giving them a twist. A Mexican twist! While browsing a brunch menu online, I stumbled upon green chile and cheddar biscuits served with chorizo gravy, and I was salivating. Much to my happiness, when I Googled this meal, an easy recipe popped up. I quite love taking restaurant...

Home Cured Gravlax

Home Cured Gravlax
Lox "made" at home is something Dustin and I probably never in a million years would have imagined we would eat, but in the same vein, we never thought we would make homemade bagels either. Now we must attempt to combine the two, and make fresh cream cheese... We started out with a beautiful filet of fresh Copper River salmon after we stocked...

Baklava French Toast

Baklava French Toast
Baklava is the perfect ending to a Greek dinner, and it's one of those things that I think I might leave to expert Greek pastry chefs. But putting those flavors into a breakfast dish is something I'd be more than willing to try. Once I saw this recipe for Baklava French Toast, I could not get this recipe out of my head. I absolutely had to...

Avocado Egg Boats

Avocado Egg Boats
Apparently these avocado egg boats were all the rage on Pinterest recently according to my different food blogs, but I'm not sure where the original idea came from. It's really a very simple idea. All you do is heat the oven to 375°, cut an avocado in half, remove the pit and then use it as a ramekin to bake an egg for about 15 minutes. We...

I don't know how I've never thought of this before— combining the amazingingness of cheesy enchiladas with breakfast favorites like chorizo and eggs, and you have one heck of a brunch. These are like baked breakfast tacos, and they are brilliant. They are as simple as cooking up your favorite breakfast foods, wrapping them in flour tortillas,...

Fried Matzo: Two Ways

Fried Matzo: Two Ways
Passover is long gone, but we still had matzo (matzah?) leftover, which I know for Dustin means just one thing— fried matzo or matzo brei as I've been seeing it called on the Internet. Matzo soaked in water or milk, then cooked in the frying pan with eggs is a great base for some delicious breakfasts— both sweet and savory. We made both kinds—...

Well maybe it means more than just that, but there will be lots of cake at today's festivities :) Given the copious amounts of cake consumption that will be occurring and as a way to celebrate what a special day it is, today seemed like a good time to discuss the cake batter...
