I love cooking homestyle breakfasts before work. This one was an intense amount of work with explosive flavor and all it required was 30 minutes. This breakfast quesadilla consists of a few delicious ingredients: Homemade hash browns Thick-cut applewood smoked bacon Sunny-side up eggs Green chile tortillas Tomatillo salsa Monterrey...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Surprisingly, one of the things we miss most about Texas is breakfast tacos. Amazingly enough, nobody seems to serve them out here. Apparently they are a Texas phenomenon. These breakfast tacos definitely aren't the kind you'd get late night at Taco C or Dustin's personal favorite place, Taco Palenque—no chorizo and egg or bean and cheese here....

As the final hatch chile recipe (until we decide to bust out the frozen ones later on this winter), we made these incredible hatch chile croque monsieurs from Foodie Bride. I really like how this blog did a whole series of recipes using hatch chiles. I also like that this blog is based out of Houston and the fact that they are fellow Texan fans....

Kolaches were not something that I ate all that often when I was back in Texas, but once you are away from something and can't get it, you suddenly realize just how much you miss (and want to devour) it. For anybody that isn't aware of the beauty of the kolache, they are Czech pastries that are super popular all across Texas' bakeries made from...
