    Nothing To Cook For Breakfast? Make Breakfast Anyway

    Waking up on the weekend, one doesn’t want to get dressed. One wants to throw on a pair of shorts, veg out on the couch, listen to music and possibly read the newspaper. One–and I’m pretty much talking about myself here–definitely doesn’t want to go to the grocery store to buy breakfast ingredients. So what…

  • Eggs Adam Roberts in Homemade Corn Tortillas

    Eggs Adam Roberts in Homemade Corn Tortillas

    Here’s a mashup of two posts that I’m mighty proud of: my signature legacy breakfast dish that’s sweeping the nation, Eggs Adam Roberts, and my post about how easy it is to make corn tortillas at home. Combine these two things and you have a breakfast that’s off the charts delicious. If you keep your…

  • Reasons To Make Granola This Weekend

    Reasons To Make Granola This Weekend

    Wow, it’s Friday and boy did this week really fly by. Did you get through it ok? That’s interesting. Hey so you know what you should make this weekend? Granola! Have you ever made granola? You haven’t? My word. This is my favorite go-to granola recipe (it comes from the BAKED Cookbook) and many people…

    Last week I tried an experiment in Liveblogging that didn’t really work. I was really just fooling around, having some fun with my phone, but I can see why seeing pictures of bread arriving at a lunch table isn’t the most exciting thing in the world. Today, though, I bring you a different take on…

  • Scrambled Eggs with Gruyère, Fried Pita with Olive Tapenade & Tomato Salad

    Scrambled Eggs with Gruyère, Fried Pita with Olive Tapenade & Tomato Salad

    The three elements that made this breakfast come together the way that it did were leftover pita (from the night I made chicken and hummus), leftover olive tapenade (from the night I made 4-hour lamb; the recipe’s in that post), and leftover Gruyere (from that cauliflower gratin). The breakthrough moment was when I decided to…

  • Breakfast For Company at a Moment’s Notice

    Breakfast For Company at a Moment’s Notice

    We had plans to eat Sunday brunch with Rebecca Lando of Working Class Foodies last week only we were a bit under-the-weather (um, hungover). Instead of canceling, I had an idea: what if I just invite Rebecca over at 11:45? This was at 10:30. So I had an hour and fifteen minutes to cook up…

  • Chicken Fat Potatoes, Fried Eggs and Tomato Olive Salsa

    Chicken Fat Potatoes, Fried Eggs and Tomato Olive Salsa

    Use what you got. That’s my best advice for cooking on weekend mornings. Make sure, on Friday, you’ve got eggs and coffee and some milk. After that, start your Saturday by raiding your fridge and putting together a breakfast that makes sense using as many disparate things that you can. Anyway, that’s my goal when…

  • Marion Cunningham’s Raw Apple Muffins

    Marion Cunningham’s Raw Apple Muffins

    Three recipes, that’s where I draw the line when it comes to sharing recipes from a cookbook. Anything beyond that, and I’m no longer advertising a book that you should buy and I’m just poaching recipes for my own gain. So it’s with great sadness that I post my third and final recipe from Marion…

  • Eggs Adam Roberts Redux

    Eggs Adam Roberts Redux

    It’s almost the weekend and it’s time I got something off my chest. The Eggs Adam Roberts I’ve been linking to and talking up all these years as my main recipe legacy isn’t the Eggs Adam Roberts that I make for myself and Craig every weekend. That old Eggs Adam Roberts was a product of…

  • Marion Cunningham’s Last Word in Nutmeg Muffins

    Marion Cunningham’s Last Word in Nutmeg Muffins

    If one day I go on trial for food crimes, I think I’m getting 20 years added to my sentence for the following: during my 3 months on New York’s Upper East Side, I never once–not ONCE–visited the famous Kitchen Arts and Letters, one of the city’s (and the country’s) greatest cookbook stores. I still…
