It seems as though most of our recipes for Hatch chile week are just an update of other recipes we've made in the past, but that's ok, because the Hatch chiles definitely add their own unique flavors. Here's another Hatch-chile-for-breakfast recipe— Hatch chile pecan pancakes based off of these jalapeño pecan pancakes! Hatch chiles are the...

Dustin's been complaining that I've dropped the ball with cooking and baking lately. It's true. With our trip to Texas and my trip to Toronto and then being completely overwhelmed playing catch-up (and thus eating lots of take-out and Trader Joe's), I haven't really been in the kitchen for two weeks. But I made it up to him this weekend with...

I've mostly been on a waffle kick lately, so I think it's time that pancakes received some love and attention. Pumpkins have also been getting a lot of press around here, so I instead went with the other quintessential flavor of fall, apples. Lately, lazy weekend mornings have become our thing. After busy weeks, it's nice to sleep in until 9,...

Soon after we moved out here, I tried some candied ginger oatcakes for brunch at one of our favorite spots in Redmond. I never realized how much I like crystallized or candied ginger. I guess it shouldn't come as a surprise given my love for gingerbread. I bought a big bag of crystallized ginger last time we were at Penzey's. I used a good chunk...

While eating at Kerbey Lane during my visit to Texas, I ate some absolutely delicious lemon poppyseed pancakes (in addition to a lot of the famous Kerbey Queso). I love all of the different pancakes at Kerbey Lane and had a difficult time deciding which flavor to order. These ones were basically like lemon poppyseed muffins with the glaze and...

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...

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...

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...

I have to admit that towards the end of summer we got a little lazy going to the grocery every week. We took several weekend trips (Vancouver & Olympic National Park) and have been planning lots of nights (like weekly pub trivia) with our friends where we end up eating out. I don't plan too many of my lunches during the day. I usually end up...
