It’s only Wednesday but I’ve already got “weekend breakfast” on the brain. A “weekend breakfast” is the kind of breakfast that you indulge in on a day when you don’t care about calories (because we all know that calories don’t count on weekends). Maybe your Saturday morning will involve some fluffy pancakes, or a huge stack of waffles, or even some yummy apple pie (there’s no judging here). Last weekend I decided to combine two of my favorite breakfasts into one fantabulous meal. This meal is part egg in a bread/hole (depending on what you call it), part avocado toast, and …

Chocolate Chip Scones
What makes brunch so fabulous? Perhaps brunch is popular because it’s an event where it’s socially acceptable to drink champagne before noon. Maybe you love it because it’s a good way to have breakfast, lunch and dessert at the same meal. Think of brunch like a diner where you can order a turkey sandwich with fries while your husband has french toast. It also means you can have dessert more than once in just one day. I think that might be the best part. #sweetjunkie If you’re hosting a brunch (like for Easter this Sunday), then scones are a must have addition. Just …
Best… Crumb Cake… Ever
Here’s the third installment in my Best Ever series! What’s it all about? Click here to get the scoop. Today I’m sharing with you the, Best… Crumb Cake… Ever. If you like big crumbs then this is the crumb cake to end all crumb cakes. I’ve made roughly a bazillion (roughly 😉 ) crumb cakes and coffee cakes. Wait, can you really compare crumb cakes to coffee cakes? They are similar but definitely different. Which one is better? I’m getting side tracked. Let’s save that debate for another day. For the purposes of today’s post it doesn’t really matter because this crumb cake trumps …
Broccoli Quiche
Quiche is always a good idea for brunch. Am I right or am I right? For one of our hosting gigs last month, I wanted to make my crustless spinach quiche. I’ve been making that recipe for years and it’s always a winner. I thought I had spinach at home but I was wrong. (Ugh, must pay better attention when making the grocery list.) I didn’t want to spend 30 minutes in the car to make a grocery run (and I didn’t want to ask, I mean beg, my husband to go either) so I did some quick thinking. I …
Quinoa Granola
It’s back to the grind. Back to work. Back to eating healthier. Back to wishing that I was still on the couch sipping coffee. I suppose we have to get back to real life at some point so I might as well do it with a bang. By that mean I mean I’m trying something new. What’s that? Drum roll, please. This is the first time I’ve cooked with coconut oil! I have to admit that I was afraid to use coconut oil. I have no idea why. Maybe because it’s weird that it’s hard in the jar. It’s oil so …
