Weekends are too short. I had such a great time with my parents yesterday learning about wine and eating pasta. I miss them already . Before my mom and dad said farewell, they took me out for a romantic brunch. I like to think that if I had a Valentine, this would be the prefect [...]
‘Tis the season to…VISIT THE FINGER LAKES! I literally ate food and drank wine all day long. A few months ago I was fortunate enough to win a pair of tickets to the Cayuga Wine Trail’s Holiday Shopping Spree (Thank you again to Finger Lakes Tourism–especially Sarah who helped find my lost ticket ), and [...]
It has been a day of relaxing and food. Some people put their Christmas trees up the day after Thanksgiving, I dream of meals and treats for the next holiday. After looking up a bizillion cookie recipes and entertaining menus, I took Otto the Red Coated Dog-Deer for a walk.Actually, he took me for a [...]
I had to incorporate the baguette I bought yesterday into my breakfast this morning. I contemplated poached eggs. I love when the creamy yolks soften the tough bread. Perfect for dipping. Because I tend prefer sweet to savory most mornings, I decided on pumpkin custard French toast.Baked Pumpkin Custard French Toast with Maple Syrup, Greek [...]
I love bonfires. Tonight ended fireside with family.There was a mish mash of food along the way.I slept in today and had a late morning breakfast. I scrummaged the kitchen and wound up with bowl of Greek yogurt, almond butter, strawberry jelly, banana and cinnamon.Followed by an extra foamy daddy special cappuccino.Where there are cappuccinos, [...]
HAPPY 4th of July! I’m SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad that I came home! I had the BEST sleep last night in my air-conditioned room. I even slept in for once in my life. Sunday+Home= Dad’s Breakfast Kitchen. On the menu: 3 egg white omelet with goat cheese, spinach, mushrooms and tomatoes topped of with more goat cheese, [...]
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY TO THE WORLD’S GREATEST DAD!! My dad is my idol. He is a man that wears many hats: extraordinary father, caring son, devoted husband, loyal friend, trustworthy co-worker, biking/running partner, Seinfeld fanatic, breakfast guru, Kabinett Member and Middle Ages Founder (the last two have to do with wine/beer…he will appreciate the reference!). [...]
It’s Sunday again, which meant one thing: Dad’s Breakfast Kitchen was open for business! Behold: Dad’s Legendary Strawberry Belgian Waffles. Sunday is always such a peaceful day in our home. Growing up, we would always go to church as a family and come home for a special meal thoughtfully prepared by my dad. He always [...]
Happy Easter! Sunday mornings almost always mean “omelets and cappuccino a la dad”. He has been the Sunday Morning Breakfast Chef for as long as I can remember and always makes something special and delicious. One year he got a Belgian waffle iron, and I remember our Sunday Special was waffles with strawberries and whipped [...]
I woke up this morning with absolutely NO appetite; very strange for me. I’m never starving when I wake up but almost always want a big bowl of oatmeal or granola to start my day. Today, the very thought of oatmeal, or anything sweet for that matter made me cringe. I had a slight headache [...]
