3 Delicious Wasa Cracker Breakfast Toasts

If I had to describe my eating habits in a nutshell, these toasts would be it. My approach is a lot less cooking and a lot more assembly, and as a result, I’m able to fill my diet with fresh, healthy ingredients, without spending tons of time and energy on it. Some might call it lazy; I call it efficient. […]

Arugula Breakfast Salad with Toasted Pistachio, Radish & Soft Eggs

Happy New Year! I’m currently viewing my mornings as a time to reboot from the indulgences of the holiday season. This recipe is one of my go-to’s when the days are busy but I’m craving a dose of clean sustenance. Yes, technically it’s a breakfast salad (which we always think is a good idea), but it’s really nothing more than […]

Pecan & Coconut Granola with Yogurt & Berries

Granola is one of my biggest weaknesses. I think it’s something about that sweet-salty-crunchy combo; if I know it’s in the pantry, resistance is futile. Since I’m not planning to ban granola from my life any time soon, I’ve been making lots of homemade versions that are way healthier than the processed sugar-laden ones you usually find at […]

Jammy Chia & Yogurt Parfaits (and the #31Mornings Prizes, Announced!)

With Christmas in the rearview mirror, we’ve officially reached that point in the season where I start feeling the itch for warmer temps and swimsuit weather. Luckily, Austin’s winters are so short that we really don’t have that long to wait (sorry, rest of the country), and as a result I usually start incorporating springtime flavors into my […]

Rosemary & Apple Zucchini Bread with Ginger

The only thing cozier than curling up with a slice of this bread and a warm cup of tea? Actually spending an autumn afternoon making it from scratch, grating fresh apples and zucchini into a big bowl with oats and golden raisins, then filling the kitchen with the scents of rosemary and cinnamon as it bakes. This […]

These 2 Breakfast Recipes Will Re-Invent Your Mornings

There are two types of breakfast eaters: creatures of habit who can eat the same thing day after day, and those who get bored with routine and like to mix things up in the morning. I’m admittedly in the first camp: I go through phases where I relish eating the exact same dish day in […]

Baked Eggs with Heirloom Tomatoes, Herbs & Feta

We can’t ignore the fact that summer is coming to an end, so I’m taking every opportunity to enjoy it before it’s gone. Cooking dinner while it’s still light out, eating meals outside, New Jersey tomatoes. I’m also stocking up – literally and figuratively – for the winter by eating those perfect summer tomatoes on anything and […]

Back-to-School Teacher Treats

Surely there must be some mistake. The calendar’s saying that it’s mid-August, but that would mean that summer’s coming to a close… and that couldn’t possibly be true, because it just started. Wait, didn’t it? Okay, maybe I’m in extreme denial (and yes, you have permission to join me in a few more moments of summertime bliss […]

How to Make an Israeli Breakfast

Confession: I’ve never understood sweets for breakfast. Pancakes? Donuts? Cinnamon rolls? How are those not considered desserts?! Now now, before you write me off, you have to understand that my judgy palette is nothing more than a product of my childhood. Raised in a culture that takes its breakfasts very seriously, I can’t help but feel a […]

One of the highlights is Shakshuka, a middle-eastern dish that’s made by poaching eggs in a flavorful tomato sauce. In today’s video, Chanel shows me how to […]

Not sure why it took me so long to hop on the overnight oats bandwagon, but now that I’ve discovered their brilliance, I’m fully hooked. For the uninitiated, making overnight oats requires little more than stirring together a few ingredients then letting them sit in the fridge overnight, and when you wake up in the morning, […]
