Hi there, so here's the thing, all I have for you today is pancakes. No random tales, no obscure reference, no ridiculous observation, just pancakes. I've been on a bit of a hiatus recently if you haven't noticed, and there's been some soul feeding going on: I've been at BlogHer '11, and was inspired by so many incredible women, and stories and sessions, I have a stack of collected business cards and new blogs to visit, and whole bag of swag to find uses [or recipients] for; I've been … [Read more...]
Banana Bread French Toast
Yep, this is the second French Toast post in as many months. But the first one was savory, so it had to be balanced out, right? I may have a problem. On a list of problems to have, I'm ok with this one. The colour issues on this photo, not so ok with them - harsh light aside, can anyone tell me how to shoot berries and not have them black?? Anyway, imagine them a lovely dark purple. I have to admit that this has been sitting in a folder for a while in anticipation of sharing Banana Bread … [Read more...]
Best Wholewheat Bread
So somewhere in the middle of my veggie kick I finally gave into temptation and found some time to bake this bread…and then I almost passed out. This stuff smells so good. The first time I made it I really just wanted fresh bread for dinner. We were out of our usual [organic, no chemicals, no soy, sourdough] loaf which is nice but still just grocery story sandwich bread, I was a bit over wraps and we're trying to avoid loose rolls from the supermarket. Not to mention that once you're … [Read more...]
Heart Egg Toast and Garlic Mushrooms
aka Birthday-Love Brunch. Saturday was RJ's birthday and to celebrate we went to 2 parties for other people's birthday's...upside to that one, saw most of our friends and didn't have to plan a thing - nice one! That said we also went out to dinner on Friday evening ourselves [finished off with an incredible Sticky Banana Pudding with Coconut Ice Cream - there was a sparkler in it, didn't get a pic as we could not wait to dig in, maybe next time, will probably tell them again it is his … [Read more...]
French Toast-ed Grilled Cheese
It's French Toast on the outside and Grilled Cheese on the inside, kind of like the old Wheel of Fortune before and after puzzles...but even better, instead of some random living room suite, the prize is tasty and delicious, and not covered in brown corduroy. The trick to good Grilled Cheese, and French Toast for that matter, is heat control. Even if [especially if?] it is 2am and you are just getting home and desperate for savoury gooey-ness. You just cannot rush even browning and … [Read more...]
Classic Pumpkin Soup
We stayed local for brunch last weekend instead of heading over the bridge like usual. Wandering around our neighbourhood in an attempt to try out a new place, we could only find one that was still serving a breakfast menu after 12pm - our semi-regular one of course...oh well, at least we attempted variation! The rest of them - how dare they all not embrace brunch?! We split Corn Fritters with Smoked Trout and Poached Eggs, and a bowl of Pumpkin Soup - perfect. Interestingly, nearly … [Read more...]
