French toast & thick maple bacon.

Thursday, November 17th, 2011

Ina Garten is a lovely woman. She has to be one of my favorite celebrity chefs from the Food Network. Her show Barefoot Contessa is super awesome. I love the way she prepares a full meal and a dessert in every episode. Everything seems simple and I get so inspired with each show that I end up at the store grabbing the ingredients or cooking what she cooked right then if I’m lucky. I’d have to say that everything I’ve made of hers has been wonderfully delicious and with that I’m a huge fan.

This French toast came out amazing. I left the bread in the egg mixture a bit too long but all was good and tasty in the end. J loved it and Z, well I don’t know what’s wrong with that kid sometimes.

A very fine morning.

Sunday, October 2nd, 2011

We have glass blocks in our bedroom walls and throughout the day we get some nice rainbows that beam across the room. This morning they were strong as J was stirring in bed.

J pulled out the pics we took in a photo booth at the wedding last night. Z was enjoying the sight of her parents enjoying themselves out for the night.

I wanted to make ebleskivers but J requested waffles. I haven’t busted out the waffle iron in ages so I agreed it was a great idea. Whipped up some homemade waffle batter from scratch and we were eating in no time.

Little Z got the first plate and was multitasking during breakfast. The whole house smelled so good with waffle wafting through the air. Don’t worry, it wasn’t long before we all joined her at the table for a very fine morning.

No crust quiche.

Sunday, February 20th, 2011

I love basic recipes/formulas that have a million possibilities and this no crust quiche is one of them. The no crust part makes it a low calorie yet high protein breakfast (whole pie: 830 cal. 55 g. protein). Since there are three of us I divided it into six portions so we could have it again for breakfast tomorrow. Cutting it into sixths, each serving is almost 10 whopping grams protein and only about 140 calories. Come on man, that’s just awesome! J and Z both loved how these turned out, J actually said it was cooked perfectly. We easily could have eaten the whole thing, and still would have been under 300 calories with 20 grams of protein each, sorry but I love doing the math on this one because it always comes out a win.
