Hot breakfast cereal may sound like the healthy and responsible choice in the morning, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be equally delicious! It’s all about the add-ins (obviously) and in the fall & winter months, the options are really endless. I love my oatmeal, oat bran, etc. with tons of warm spices and something special like pumpkin […]
Making granola is my favorite weekend activity. Besides being delicious (and a million times better when it’s homemade), having fresh granola baking in the oven makes the house smell completely mouthwatering. Plus, you feel so productive filling a few jars full of homemade cereal for the coming weeks. All I do is vary the ingredients depending on […]
As warming and comforting as sweet breakfasts can be, I often crave something really crisp in the morning. You may think salad for breakfast sounds crazy, but I promise it’s the most nurturing thing to start off your day. Especially if you’ve maybe had one too many glasses of wine the night before – this […]
I love a warm, spiced muffin as soon as the temperatures begin to drop. I know most jump for pumpkin bread and the like, but I love the simple flavors of maple, molasses and lots of Autumn spices. These muffins are perfect for breakfast, as a mid-day snack and they’re even great for dessert (maybe add […]
It’s finally Apple season, meaning the weather is cooler and indian summers have passed. Fall is officially here with all the flavors that follow. I’m craving the most warming and comforting flavors like apple crisp and nutmeg with pretty much anything. This apple cake is pretty perfect any type of day, but it is especially […]
I’ve officially been bitten by the salted caramel bug. Salted caramel ice cream, salted caramel sauce (to drizzle over ice cream, of course), salted caramel brownies… there’s something about the toasty buttery flavor of caramel that’s just made for a sprinkle of sea salt, and I’ve recently caught myself fantasizing about how to add more of […]
I absolutely love eggs for breakfast, if it isn’t already apparent. I can go for a homemade fritatta or eggs on toast any day of the week. Another favorite, baked eggs, is one I don’t eat often enough. Besides being delicious, it’s the perfect no-stress breakfast dish for a homemade brunch. Serve them in your […]
Even though summer’s almost over, I’m still having a complete love affair with its produce. I know our tendencies are all for heirlooms all the time, but the second I saw these plump green tomatoes, I knew there was an avocado toast in my future. It may not be battered, but these “fried” green tomatoes will […]
If you’re a regular reader, you may have caught on to the fact that Camille loves salads — she eats one for lunch most days of the work week, and is usually really, really excited about them. Typically, I’d make fun of her disproportionate salad enthusiasm, but to be totally honest, I’m the same way with my […]
I truly love a savory breakfast — it’s no secret that I always love an avocado toast (like this one!), and I’ve been wanting to share my favorite “breakfast salad” recipe on here for a while. But the produce lately has been so gorgeous, I thought I’d set aside my avocado toast for something a little more […]
The build-your-own bagel bar at our bachelorette brunch from this morning was such a major hit, I wondered why I hadn’t done this setup at countless gatherings before. It couldn’t have been simpler to put together, required zero cooking time (a major plus when the weather’s as hot as it is in Austin right now), […]
Oatmeal is usually a quick weekday breakfast option, but it can be a lot more than that. To do it right, opt for steel cut oats and a simple and luxe fruit compote. It’s Summer and that means the the produce is crazily bountiful right now. So, get creative with the compote and try it […]
I recently realized how much I absolutely love frittatas. Not the tasteless and chewy ones from your average brunch buffet…I’m talking the homemade kind. Anytime I’m entertaining for breakfast, the frittata is my go to. It’s similar to the age-old “everything but the kitchen sink” soup or salad. The possibilities here are endless and best when […]
I grew up in Southern California which means Mexican food is as prominent in my house as chicken and rice. Almost any meal deserves red pepper flakes or hot sauce, and breakfast is no exception. Breakfast tacos and burritos were a huge part of my family’s breakfast menu. It also happens to be a seriously […]
This breakfast is somewhere between a healthy morning meal and a delicious indulgence. It’s the perfect warm weather brunch idea, individually baked for your guests. Breakfast crisps are perfectly sweet without giving you the sugar hangover of most pastries. It’s best served with strong coffee and a dollop of whipped creme if you’re feeling fancy. […]
With Camille in St. Tropez this week (so jealous), today’s installment of Tuesday Tastings has been guest-contributed by Gabriela Iancu, who cooks up meals and musings for her blog, What Liberty Ate. Take it away, Gabriela… *** I started drinking coffee about five years ago when I had my first professional job and had to […]
The simplest breakfasts are often the most delicious. Much like the beloved avocado toast, it doesn’t take a lot of ingredients to form an addiction. My boyfriend made this delicious combination for me on a whim, and since then, I can’t get enough. It’s the perfect flavor for a light, early Summer breakfast. Ingredients: 2 large […]
I know most people spend their mornings rushed with a quick pastry and coffee-to-go. As much as that seems easy and convenient, gluten-free pastries are not widely available everywhere…so I am usually stuck making my own. Luckily, these homemade muffins are incredibly addicting. They will keep you full longer than the average muffin (thanks to […]
When a tall, willowy beauty tells you she’ll spill the secret behind her svelte bod, high energy levels, and glowing skin, well, you get ready to take notes. Then, when she tells you that it all started when she began drinking coffee made with grass-fed butter, you stop and say… Huh?! (at least if you’re me.) That’s what […]
One of my favorite go-to snacks is granola, and these almond cranberry granola bites hit just the right spot! The mix of a little bit of sweet with the salt, nutty almond flavor—it’s just perfection. And they’re healthy, of course! This recipe is quick to throw together and makes a large batch…but be warned, they […]
