Sending Henry to some cooking classes has yeilded quite a few fun things recently. I am going to have to ask Henry the details of this recipe as I can’t remember exactly how he made these but they were amazing! Henry made his own yeasted dough to which he added some orange zest. He made the filling with brown…

Rice Pudding with Maple Pecan Sauce
Let’s just keep the carbs coming! I am actually trying to eat less carbs but keep making more. This was sort of a necessity. We ordered amazing Indian food from Bhatti Grill here in Manhattan and ate at home instead of going out on my birthday. The food was great but as we packed up the leftovers into the refrigerator…
Henry’s Raspberry Poptart
Henry came across a package of puff pastry as he was gathering inspiration for the birthday cake he wanted to make me. After school yesterday he whipped this out of nowhere filling it with half a jar of some very high quality raspberry jam I just bought and used the entire package of high quality puff pastry I bought. …
Soft Boiled Eggs with Toast Soldiers
Our whole family (minus 1) loves these soft boiled eggs. My oldest daughter got the stomach flu on “Green Eggs and Ham Day” in Kindergarten and hasn’t eaten eggs since! So sad! I just got a new egg cooker which now makes 7 soft cooked eggs instead of four. So here is our first experience with the new appliance! Steaming…
Best Banana Bread Ever!
I am always searching for a great banana bread and I think this one was my best ever! I had so many ripe bananas today I had no choice. These bananas were begging to be made into bread and it was a good thing I listened! So good! This is how I made it: I lined my loaf pans with…
Best Buttermilk Pancake Recipe

This recipe turned out great! 1 cup flour 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda 2 Tbs sugar 1/2 tsp salt 1 egg 2 cups buttermilk 1 tsp vanilla I mix the dry ingredients…
Oatmeal…Variations on a theme!
In these pictures I used the Swiss Muesli cereal cooked in milk. I can eat almost any variation of oatmeal! The Muesli makes a rich oatmeal. Below are other ideas and variations. I don’t know if cooked Grape Nuts cereal belongs in this post but we love that, too! This is one of my favorite breakfasts! – creamy cinnamon spiced…
“Trial & Error” Sweet Potato Fries – for breakfast!
My son Henry got a deep fryer for Christmas and we had some sweet potatoes laying around so we broke it out and went for it! It was a snow day and my son had the day off from school. We hadn’t had breakfast so what the heck! Well, we finally got it right on the fifth try! We…
Scrambled Eggs, Shallots, Rosemary Ham and Spinach
This is a yummy low carb breakfast I love when I am not having my oatmeal with Noosa yoghurt or steamed milk. I love onions but I love shallots more! Shallots have such a great flavor and it shines through scrambled eggs so nicely. I also love the Trader Joes Rosemary Ham! It has such a great rosemary flavor…
Blueberry, Raspberry, Cinnamon, Brown Sugar Buttermilk Coffee Cake
Well, I think the title says it all! What’s not to love about all those things? I guess I could have added the word Butter! to the title. This turned out so good I couldn’t stop myself from eating too much of it! I was making buttermilk pancakes and once everyone left for work and school I had way too…
