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...

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...

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...

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,...

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—...

Best way to use leftover corned beef from our Reuben sandwiches (beside more Reuben sandwiches for lunch)? Make an easy one skillet corned beef hash for brunch. Oh yeah, and top with an egg, sunny side up. It was super easy and super delicious, so we just thought we'd share!

Dustin and I have gotten hooked watching Worst Cooks in America from the Food Network on demand. We started watching it out of curiosity, but it has actually really grown on us. If you haven't seen the show, two celebrity chefs (in the third season the chefs are Anne Burrell and Dustin's favorite, Bobby Flay) have a team of home cooks who have...

With our omelette pan from the Marshalls, we really wanted to try out another omelette, this time with classic Mexican ingredients to remind us of Texas. We really miss our chorizo and egg breakfast tacos... We sautéed up a red onion and 1/4 lb of bulk chorizo sausage. Once the meat is browned, put the stove on low heat to keep it warm. We...

We found another great use for cheddar grits— as brunch topped with fried eggs. The runny yolk spreading over the cheese grits is pretty amazing and yet it is so simple. We'll definitely make this again another lazy morning. We served this alongside a mimosa with a splash of Grand Marnier. We had a fantastic and relaxing Saturday morning, not...
