Banana Pancakes with Dried Tart Cherries

By Eliot, on March 1st, 2014%

Lately, there have been no smoothies, no home-cooked dinners…it’s been pretty busy (and food-boring) around here.

Luckily, we didn’t have any weekend activities until 1:30 and 6:00 on Saturday.

Great. I could at least get a hearty, home-cooked breakfast on the table. (And yes, dear readers, I even slept in until 8:00.)

“Waffled” Breakfast Club Sandwich

By Eliot, on January 26th, 2014%

I came of age in the 80s. I wore leg warmers, neon colors, Flashdance-influenced sweatshirts, and designer jeans. My hair has been pink, asymmetric, and teased up high (just not all at once). I have been a punk, a prep, and a rocker.

Circa 1985. Such babies.

I feel old.

During the winter brrr, what’s better for breakfast than a little citrus flavor?

I found the original recipe in Joy of Cooking after finding some near dead and departed lemons on the cabinet last summer. This recipe was delicious and made super thick, delicious pancakes. I wanted to tweak the recipe a bit and use . . . → Read More: Lemon Pancakes with Dark Sweet Cherries

Breakfast Bread Pudding

By Eliot, on December 22nd, 2013%

I love me some bread pudding, yet I never make it. You can be assured that if it is on the menu when we dine out, I will order it. Chocolate bread pudding, pumpkin bread pudding, traditional Southern bread pudding with whiskey sauce. It matters not.

Bread Machine Raisin Bread

By Eliot, on December 21st, 2013%

There was a time when the adults in the family still gave and received purchased gifts. This was before we decided we had too much STUFF and as gifts began to collect dust or take up storage and attic spaces. The presents typically were a bit pricey and extravagant as well and you can see . . . → Read More: Bread Machine Raisin Bread

Whole Wheat Pumpkin Muffins (and a weird squash)

By Eliot, on October 8th, 2013%

Have you ever been over to M.J.’s Kitchen? If not, you must stumbled over there as soon as you are able.

Last January, M.J. posted about an unusual squash with an unusual name: Cushaw Pumpkin. These things do not look like pumpkins at all. Besides the weird name, they were pretty weird looking. She spoke . . . → Read More: Whole Wheat Pumpkin Muffins (and a weird squash)
