Breakfast Pizza

My latest favorite weekend breakfast is a breakfast pizza. I was a bit skeptical at first, you know, eggs on a pizza, that's got to be strange, right? Not so, it is actually quite nice. Also it's very quick to make, especially if you have the pizza dough already made. I've been making my own pizza dough now for about a couple years and I've never looked back since. It's easy to make and a pizza dough will a ...

Strawberry and Kiwi Parfait with Cornflakes

Well, considering how bad I've been with my last dessert, Sex in a Pan, I thought I'd give you guys a healthy recipe. I was very naughty with the last dessert. But now you will thank me, for sharing something healthy with you. :) I don't know if you've ever had Greek Yogurt, but I am in love with it. It is so thick, and so full of flavor, it almost tastes like sour cream, that's how thick it is. I just love ...

Mushroom and Sausage Frittata

Here's a nice and easy frittata that you can pretty much make any day of the week. I have to say I love frittata, and I think they especially great for a brunch on the weekend. Frittatas are also versatile, you can pretty much put whatever you have in the fridge in them, so this particular one I made with mushrooms, sausage and mozzarella cheese. It was very tasty and scrumptious. Turn the oven on to broil. ...

Bread Pudding with Raisin Bread

A few days ago I made this wonderful raisin egg bread and that recipe made 2 huge loaves. It was a lot of bread, so I thought that it would make a perfect bread for bread pudding. I was right, it was phenomenal. Bread pudding is not something I grew up with, in fact I never heard of it until a few years ago when I saw it made by Emeril once on the food network channel and thought it looked interesting. At f ...

Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

I have to say I am impressed with the weather here, it's been just gorgeous the past few days and the next few days are going to be just as great. I don't want to jinx it, so I won't say much more about that. Having said that, it does tend to look a bit like fall outside, at least here in Calgary, the leaves are falling, the days are shorter and the nights longer. When I come home from work I think I have a ...

Pear and Chocolate Chip Muffins

I think summer is officially over here in Calgary. It feels like fall, leaves are falling, chilly air and as the weather is changing and getting cooler, people are starting to get sick. That's the story at my work, and I happened to catch whatever is going around. But anyway, on to happier things. I mentioned that we went to the farmer's market last week and I bought a few beautiful pears, because I hadn't ...

French Toast

This doesn't happen very often, but some days I actually wake up before my alarm goes off. Today was one of those days. I woke up 45 minutes earlier. What to do with all this extra time? You make French toast. That's right. I still had some challah bread that I made over the weekend so I knew this would be a great bread for this. I don't normally make French toast, usually if I go out for breakfast I would ...

My husband bought these currants and when I saw them in the fridge I thought they were just adorable, they look like little jewels to me. So I thought to myself I have to bake or do something with them, they are too cute.

Creamy-Parmesan Baked Eggs

I wish I'd have lots of pictures to show you for this beautiful breakfast meal, but I don't! The reason is, it was so simple to make, there was not much worth in capturing with pictures. Creamy-Parmesan Baked Eggs, I wish I could take credit for this simple breakfast dish, but I can't.
