Having houseguests is the perfect reason to cook a fancy breakfast. My sister and her boyfriend recently came to visit and this Bacon Mozzarella Benedict was inspired by my sister’s boyfriend’s love of poached eggs and his obsession with bacon. I added a mozzarella sauce because I am a firm believer that cheese makes everything […]

Build Your Own Avocado Toast Bar
Yes, you read that correctly. On Saturday I hosted Blogging & Brunching and I created a build your own avocado toast bar for my guests. It was a big hit, and it was really easy to pull together.

I asked people over instagram what they call this dish and was fascinated by everyone’s answers. Answers included: eggs in a basket, toad in a whole, and birds in a basket. What do you call it? […]

I used this recipe, which calls for ingredients that frequent bakers will have in their pantry. I have made pancakes with vanilla cake mix in […]
Jalapeño, Avocado, and Goat Cheese Omelet
