Don't let the name scare you off. Eggs in Purgatory is pure goodness. It is an Italian recipe called Uova in Purgatorio, and it seems to refer to the spicy, red tomato sauce as the purgatory for the eggs. Call it whatever you want, but it's delicious, and it reminds me of many slightly spicy,...
Breakfast
Spinach, Bacon, and Swiss Breakfast Bake
Spinach, Bacon, and Swiss Gruyere take day-old bread and elevate it to the savory breakfast casserole that your morning needs. It also makes a fantastic breakfast-for-dinner option. Every year around the holidays I always go through my recipes and plan out as many "overnight" breakfast recipes as possible, particularly for Christmas morning. This year as...
Mixed Berry Crumb Cake
Let's talk about berries... It may be winter here right now, but that doesn't mean that berries aren't on the menu. Frozen berries works great in this recipe, so you can enjoy moist, berry-studded coffee cake year-round. I prefer a combination of tart Michigan cherries, blueberries, and raspberries, but you can use as many or...
Pumpkin Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls
These super soft cinnamon rolls combine the slightly tangy flavor one expects from sourdough with the comforting blend of pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg to create an epic cinnamon roll worthy of Christmas morning, or any day. Add a little bit of commercial yeast... If you've baked a lot of sourdough, you probably don't very often...
Fruit Pie French Toast Bake
This recipe was originally going to be specifically an Apple Pie French Toast Bake, but I've now made it so many times with all different fruits and loved each one that it seemed like being too specific to apples didn't encourage the creativity that this recipe thrives on. The basis is a very straightforward French...
Sweet Potato Pancakes
Greetings, friends. Today's recipe for Sweet Potato Pancakes is one that adds a little extra comfort to the breakfast menu rotation. I like to use roasted sweet potatoes (great use for leftovers!), but canned sweet potatoes are perfectly fine too! If you're feeling particularly indulgent, top with some whipped cream and toasted pecans. I absolutely...

Sour Cream Banana Bread
Hi friends, Happy Holidays! You may be wondering why I'm sharing a banana bread recipe in the days leading up to Christmas instead of gingerbread or something more iconic for the season. Well, because I feel like we all need to give ourselves a little reminder that simple is good. I have been planning a...
A Study In Sourdough: Part 4- Sourdough English Muffins
Making these Sourdough English Muffins is my favorite way to use my Sourdough Starter in these hot summer months. No oven required! I would love to say I always have a stash of them on hand, but quite frankly, I can’t keep them around more than an hour or so before my family gobbles them...
Breakfast Fried Rice
Cooking breakfast is a huge part of my everyday life these days. Because I’m home with my girls every day, I find it can be really easy to run out of creative breakfast ideas and then we fall into the somewhat boring routine of blueberry pancakes, oatmeal, eggs, cereal, repeat. Generally, breakfast foods can have...
