Breakfast/2 recipes

Granola is great for breakfast, packed with nutrition and very filling. Making your own is always better, lots of nuts, dried fruits and real maple syrup with some yogurt or milk give you all the energies you need to start a beautiful day.

Absolutely delicious! I love pumpkin but hate making pie crust, so this is a great alternative. Very easy, too. The maple syrup is a nice subtle flavor. The honey glazed walnuts are really a nice touch. Going to be using them in other things, too. I presented this two ways, one still in the ramekin, and one unmolded. Thanks for a great new addition to the fall dessert line-up.

Here is this New England yankee's version of a Southern classic. The cornmeal and panko crumb crust is what sets this recipe apart from others.

Our family loves banana muffins. I frequently make a batch of these for quick and easy grab n' go breakfasts during the week.

This is a great way to use up extra home made dressing. Cook pasta the day before. Then add your leftover dressing and marinate in the refrigerator overnight. The pasta will absorb all the goodness from the dressing and is perfect for a quick and easy lunch or supper.

I love this baked omelet, the mixture of asparagus and mushroom created the crunchy and meaty texture, Swiss cheese gave the cheesy taste. The best thing is that you can prepare everything the night before, then you can bake it the next morning when you get up. Before going to work, have this delicious and nutritious dish for breakfast to start a beautiful day, isn't that beautiful :)

Bitter winter greens made incredibly tasty. The collards are quickly braised to tame any bitterness then mixed with crispy prosciutto, garlic and cayenne pepper for a bit of kick and lemon for a bit of brightness. Healthy winter greens for a solid deep south down-home flair.

A quick and easy recipe to make your own granola bars, and they taste better and a lot healthier than store-bought ones. They can be breakfast or a quick snack whenever you feel hungry.

A rich and crusty bread that's easy to make with this tasty recipe that's stress-free.

This scrumptious appetizer is made with cornmeal, buttermilk and zucchini.

An easy leftover turkey breakfast strata. Make ahead the night before and just pop it in the oven in the morning.

This scrumptious chicken dish is made with safflower oil, plain yogurt and a pinch of cayenne pepper.

Good option for breakfast.

This is a simple and easy slaw, typical Asian style. Very healthy and savory.

Pad Thai Tip: For even more flavor, I'll often make a double batch of the pad Thai sauce. Then, as I'm stir-frying the noodles, I'll add more sauce until I'm happy with the taste (I also add extra fish sauce). Any leftover sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
