For my birthday weekend at the cabin, we cooked up all sorts of delicious meals from my new Gordon Ramsay's Home Cooking cookbook. We very much enjoyed this breakfast on a crisp, rainy, Fall birthday morning. If you want to save some time in the morning, you could par-boil your potatoes the night before and...

Frittata with Potato and Prosciutto
One frittata, two frittata. For our second frittata this week, and the final recipe from my Cookbook of the Week: Everyday Italian by Giada De Laurentiis, we enjoyed this Frittata with Potato and Prosciutto as a quick and easy breakfast-for-dinner. Between this frittata and the one we enjoyed last weekend, Frittata with Asparagus, Tomato, and...
Frittata with Asparagus, Tomato, and Fontina Cheese
We enjoyed this frittata for brunch after the boys went out salmon fishing this morning. They caught a huge one, so I think it's salmon for dinner for us tonight. This recipe comes together rather quickly, and I think it would be really delicious as a breakfast-for-dinner option as well. Frittata Asparagus, Tomato, and Fontina...
Quiche aux Champignons (Mushroom Quiche)
There's nothing like a Saturday morning brunch during a holiday weekend in northern Michigan. We very much enjoyed this quiche before a long day spent exploring little antique shops and walking around downtown Ludington this afternoon. The original recipe did not call for bacon, but we liked the added bit of saltiness that it brought...
Fresh Fruit Scones
I have tried more scone recipes than I can remember. This recipe for Fresh Fruit Scones is by far my favorite. These scones are crisp on the outside and light and fluffy in the middle. Very unlike the blueberry scone I ordered at a cafe this morning--only to be disgusted by the impostor that somehow finds...
Vanilla Blueberry Waffles
As I've mentioned before, I am not a fan of typical breakfast food. I don't like eggs, syrup, or pancakes. I like my breakfast dishes to be savory, or could-pass-as-a-dessert sweet. I like fruit in just about everything. These waffles are perfect for me. Packed full of juicy blueberry goodness, and not made from a...

Bacon and Corn Breakfast Hash
This week we are trying out some new breakfast recipes, and I love that this dish includes corn. I am not a pancake and eggs type of breakfast eater, so something a little more savory is perfect for me. This meal was so delicious and easy, and will definitely be returning to our breakfast (or...
Amazing Overnight Waffles
These worked out great on a Saturday morning at the cabin. Most of the prep was done the night before, and breakfast was ready in no time, which makes for a happy husband. He needs a full belly before he goes out fishing, and I love waffles not only for their taste, but because I...
