Fried Chicken and Waffles

March 8, 2015

We heart brunch. Our favorite kind of brunch is when we make it in our own kitchen. This morning, we made a delicious plate of fried chicken and waffles using just a few ingredients. Super simple and a great way to step up your DIY brunch game.…

Mexican Breakfast Muffin

February 2, 2015

Good morning! After coming home from the gym the other morning, Fatima and I wanted something to eat that would not kill the workout we just came back from, and something other than oatmeal or a veggie-fruit shake. We sifted through our site and landed on our Egg Stuffed Avocado and our Hummus and Guacamole Toast. So we tried to combine the two and came up with this Mexican Breakfast…

French Toast Crunch

July 11, 2014

Crunch, crunch at brunch, brunch. Have you heard of “Crunchy French Toast”? We didn’t until Fatima’s sister came back from upstate NY raving about our sister-in-law’s yummy french toast spread. She said she “dipped french toast in cereal before putting it on the griddle.” Enter our French Toast Crunch… I love french toast. Especially when it’s made with some stale Texas toast. French toast or known as “pain perdu” (French…

Pumpkin Bread

September 23, 2013

What’s fall without pumpkin bread? Seriously – if you don’t like pumpkin, sorry, but what is wrong with you? If you’re not from New England, and you don’t like pumpkin, then you get a free pass. I could literally eat pumpkin bread every day of the year, but I somehow hold off until the fall. When I was in college, I looked forward from that finals week care package, filled…

Mother’s Day

May 16, 2013

Today’s Throw back Thursday highlights the delicious breakfast Fatima and I made for my mom for Mother’s Day. All she wanted to do for her day was to 1.) have a great breakfast 2.) go for a bike ride and 3.) spend the afternoon at one of our town’s vineyards. Who better to make your breakfast than Fatima and me? The day before – grocery shopping. My mom had only…

Oatmeal and Flaxseed Buttermilk Pancakes

April 17, 2013

Chocolate chips are optional. When you want to feel like you’ve eaten a healthy breakfast without having to taste carrots, spinach, oatmeal, flaxseed, whey protein powder…etc…just make some delicious pancakes. What’s great about oatmeal (in pretty much anything) is that it gets all mushy when blended well into the dishes you prepare – especially batter. Flaxseed, yes you can see it, but you can’t taste it. So why add oatmeal…

Omelette Cupcakes

March 28, 2013

Cupcake fever has set in. While making some yummy boozy cupcakes last week, we got to experimenting with other foods. Saw an idea on Pinterest I thought I would try out. I’m naming these “Omelette Cupcakes” because they are whipped eggs in a cupcake pan. THE PERFECT side to serve with brunch, baby shower, or any brunch-themed gathering. Very easy to make, these omelete cupcakes take about 30 minutes to…

Old Fashioned Chocolate Glazed Donuts

March 27, 2013

Chocoholic? Yes. Any chance to make something chocolatey and I’m the first one in line. The chocolate donuts were so good! We were going for the chocolate glazed donuts you get from the Dunkin Donuts – the kind that melt in your mouth. I believe we nailed it. This past fall, we made some yummy pumpkin donuts. We sort of cut through that recipe and opted in for cake mix –…

Old Fashioned Red Velvet Donuts

March 26, 2013

Red Velvet? Donuts? Um, yum! These were absolutely delicious. The kind of donut you wait for at brunch after going to church in the morning. Ugghghg…I wish we made more… This past fall, we made some yummy pumpkin donuts. We sort of cut through that recipe and opted in for cake mix instead – it made it so much easier. Experimenting with cake mix is always fun. It’s easy and…

Old Fashioned Glaze for Donuts

March 25, 2013

We went nuts for donuts this past weekend. We baked up a storm of red velvet and chocolate donuts. Some were left plain, but the others were dipped into glaze. I don’t really know what came over us, but we were really excited to make these. Bake? Yes, these donuts were baked not fried. Last time we baked up some delicious donuts was last fall when we made pumpkin donuts.…

Perfect Baked Potato

March 15, 2013

Who doesn’t love a good baked potato? I made this last week when I was on my cleanse. A god send. Lightly salted, buttered, and fluffy – what more could you ask for? Rubbing butter and salting the potato is key. The skin will be crunchy, and will be a nice contrast to the fluffy inside. Ingredients: Russet or Idaho potato Some butter or olive oil Salt Directions: Preheat your…

Cleanse Day 7: Rice

March 10, 2013

Cleanse Day 7: Today your food intake will consist of brown rice, fruit juices and all the vegetables you care to consume. Oh my! Today is the last day of the cleanse, woof! Rice, fruit juices, and veggies all day. I’m ok with rice, I could eat that and be satisfied all day. But after Fatima said I would be “backed up” if I ate only rice, I thought I…

Cleanse Day 6: Beef and Veggies

March 9, 2013

Cleanse Day 6: Beef and vegetables. Today you may eat an unlimited amount of beef and vegetables. Eat to your hearts content. Hunger ensues. I was so hungry this morning. I had the last piece of steak for breakfast with a side of sugar snap peas (the last of them). I officially ran out of veggies so I wasn’t able to pack a lunch. I thought I would leave my…
