Shakshuka

A couple weeks ago, I hosted a ladies breakfast at my house. Several of the ladies can’t eat gluten, several can’t eat dairy. . . which left me considering my options for breakfast. If a breakfast isn’t cheesy, it’s bready, am I right? Then I remembered that Deb, from Smitten Kitchen (once more saving the [...]

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

Get ready for the zucchini recipes. My garden is in fully swing producing them so I’ll be cooking a lot of them! First up, zucchini bread.

Spinach and Cheese Strata

I love breakfasts that you can prepare the night before and just pop in the oven. So little effort for such a great payout. This was another Deb classic (I mean, seriously, why do you even read my blog since I only seem to post recipes from Smitten Kitchen) and it lived up to the [...]
