Merry Christmas Eve! My mom always hosted Christmas Frühstück (Breakfast) for our family. I have kept up the tradition, adding & refining our menu, each year. A staple is & always will be her GERMAN PANCAKES. They are really like a crepe ~ very thin & light. I served these crepes w/plum compote, cherries & syrup. Fruit & jam are also lovely additions. You can find the plum compote recipe here: Gingerbread Pancakes with Ginger Plum Compote. Enjoy!
These pancakes are a perfect holiday treat! Stack ‘em high with marshmallow whipped cream & plenty of cacao nibs between each layer. The bananas & cacao nibs make thsee cakes taste just like you are sitting around a camp fire, except you are in the comfort of your cozy kitchen. Decadent & delicious.
Good Morning!!! Breakfast today is porridge made with Bob’s Red Mill steel cut oats prepared with vanilla almond milk. I topped it with the Ginger Plum Compote I made the other day, extra sliced plums, banana, golden raisins, a sprinkle of cinnamon, a heaping spoonful of almond butter & a generous drizzle of Tree Hive Maple Syrup + Honey. Just what I needed to get ready for yoga, this morning!
When you buy a giant tub of spinach at Costco…you make lots of spinach foods! YOU will be sooooo happy if you make this savory toast! The jammy 7-minute eggs on top of perfectly cooked spinach & mushrooms is total bliss. The sourdough was just the right choice for this yummy toast & the sprinkle of EB seasoning & some red pepper flakes sealed the deal!
The Sugar Plum Fairy is in the house! Pancakes in the House! At least that’s what I was thinking of when I made this gingerbread concoction, this morning! You will L O V E these pancakes topped with warm Ginger Plum Compote! Created this recipe all by lonesome!
My mom’s waffle maker has been calling my name ever since I got back from our trip to NYC. It’s a vintage Sunbeam that has to be at least 70 years old. It makes the best waffles! So, I made these CHOCOLATE WAFFLES WITH BALSAMIC CHERRY COMPOTE, this morning. Wow. Wow. Wow. I finished them with a dollop of vanilla yogurt, cacao nibs & a dusting of powdered sugar. Got my inspiration from Olive & Mango and it was well worth the effort. Made a few changes to the recipe to make it a little less complicated for me. (Took me 45 minutes, start to finish) You need to make these ASAP ~ this combo is beyond scrumptious.
I’m just not ready for Christmas! I still want to smell pumpkin spice & enjoy my fall decor! I love this time of year so much that one year I lost my mind and made over 100 chenille pumpkins! Anyway, I digress. I made these gorgeous pancakes for breakfast & the fam loved ‘em! AND, I’m really proud, ‘cause I created this recipe all by my lonesome! This stack of hot pumpkin yumminess was, according to my daughter, was “just right.” The drizzle of Tree Hive Maple+Honey didn’t hurt, either. A perfect Thanksgiving week treat!
