I have discovered out that my zucchini cakes make a great cook-ahead item for breakfast. I’m having some food allergies and other health issues, so wheat is off the menu for the time being. That means I needed an alternative to toast or biscuits to sop up my eggs yolks. The zucchini cakes are perfect, […]

Mini Quiche
I have never been a big quiche fan, but I needed something I could make ahead and heat up in the mornings for a quick and easy breakfast. I do not put cheese in these when I cook them, but I put shredded cheddar in the bowl with my quiche when I eat it. I […]
Bacon, Eggs, and Strawberries Tonight
I did not have the time or, more importantly, the inspiration to really cook tonight (yes, even I sometimes feel uninspired about food).

I usually serve these in one of two ways – as veggie burgers with hummus and sprouts or with fried eggs and topped with maple syrup. […]
Chocolate Covered Brie and Strawberries
This is my current favorite dessert. It’s more substantial than most desert foods, and very easy to make (much easier than baking a cake!) it makes a nice breakfast or appetizer. I use frozen strawberries because they are quick and easy and I know they will be ripe and flavorful. I DO NOT use the […]
