Colorful recipes with seasonal food
I love cheesecake. Love it. So why not put it in the middle of muffins? Elevate your regular muffins to a work of art by making them cheesecake stuffed muffins. I made raspberry but you could definitely do pretty much any flavor. It makes them a little more moist and interesting. Can a muffin be…
I don’t know why I have never thought to attempt a savory french toast until now. I know “regular” French toast is delicious and doesn’t really need any improving BUT making it savory is just brilliant. This version is a popular Indian toast that I discovered while searching Pinterest for some ideas. Sue and I…
We decided to call these hearty brunch bowls but they work equally as well for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Potatoes, bacon, and eggs are pretty much the trifecta of deliciousness. The Little Potato Company ran a recipe contest where they were looking for 30 minute meals using their little potatoes. I entered this recipe (didn’t…
If you’ve been following a keto eating plan for any length of time you have most likely heard of chaffles. The magic 2 ingredient dish that can sub for bread, waffles, tacos, pizza base, and the list goes on. Of course, there are a million variations of a chaffle but I prefer the simple, 2…
I’ve been wanting to make okonomiyaki for a long time. I saw it on Pinterest ages ago and thought it looked amazingly delicious. Okonomiyaki is a Japanese savory cabbage pancake (okonomi – meaning “how you like” or “what you like”, and yaki – meaning “cooked”) and there are as many recipes for it as there…
Waffles are one of the best breakfasts EVER. I’m going to risk the backlash and say, perhaps even better than pancakes. All those little pockets that hold extra syrup (and peanut butter) make them irresistible. The only thing about them is they can be kind of a pain in the butt to make for breakfast….

I have been trying to come up with an amazing giant cinnamon roll recipe for a long time. Somehow they always just did not meet my expectations. They were missing that certainsomething that made them special. Well… I have good news. Great news, actually. I have discovered the best tasting humongous cinnamon rolls ever. In…

Saskatoon season around Lillooet is always highly anticipated. Saskatoons grow wild around the area and are always a welcome addition to baking. The berries are similar to blueberries but are smaller, have more teeny seeds, and have a different flavor (maybe sweeter? It’s hard to describe!). If you don’t have access to saskatoons you could…
Canada Day is just around the corner and I was wondering what I could whip up to celebrate this year. I’ve been playing with bread recipes a lot lately so new I wanted to start there. I made a list of foods and flavors that we consider “typically Canadian” and maple was at the top….
I bought rings to make English muffins about 5 years ago. They have been sitting in my closet in my bucket-o-kitchen-things since then. I was doing a bit of a clean out when I found them again. I decided I had better finally give them a try. The recipe that came with the rings was…
I’ve been feeling adventurous lately and have been going outside my comfort zone with baking. I have never made croissants before because of how time consuming the process is and because of how important it is to get the technique right. Who wants to spend two days making something only to have it not turn…
I recently started a new job where I no longer work from home but have to go into an office every day when I’m not traveling. Unfortunately, the office is too small to have a great cafeteria so I’ve had to figure out how to bring breakfast and lunch to work for pretty much the…
Last month for Easter my church decided to throw its first Pancake Breakfast! I’ve always had a secret desire to be a line cook and man a griddle, churning out pancake after pancake. I guess I wanted to see if I could handle the pressure, a la MasterChef or Top Chef. Well let’s just say…
Happy Cinco de Mayo! Confession: I don’t really know anything about Cinco de Mayo except that it’s the day after Star Wars Day and is Mexican in origin. But that’s enough for me to know that I can post about chilaquiles, the best thing I ate in Mexico. I didn’t really expect the breakfast buffet…
I’ve been traveling for work a lot recently, and while I definitely can’t complain about being able to expense all my meals, sometimes I just want something simple. Comforting. That I made myself. This morning I woke up and had a craving for dan bing, a Taiwanese breakfast dish that’s basically a thin crepe with…
