These challah french toast waffles are amazing! I love waffles, and I love french toast. So I knew combining them would clearly satisfy two cravings in one. Flavorful, moist, and it’s literally french toast but with pockets! Pockets for butter, syrup, and loads of fruit. A breakfast/brunch dish with pockets for butter is my love…

Brown Butter Cinnamon Rolls
I’ve gotta just let you know now, there’s an obscene amount of butter going on here. These brown butter cinnamon rolls are not for the faint of heart. I came up with this recipe in hopes you’d make it part of a special event. Don’t eat these every day. Christmas brunch would be fabulous. Birthday’s,…
Pumpkin Ricotta Buttermilk Pancakes
If you’re looking for something to do with that last tiny bit of pumpkin in your fridge, make these pumpkin ricotta buttermilk pancakes. They’re spiced to perfection, and believe it or not, the ricotta really lightens up the texture. I didn’t want these to be heavy and dense, so that little bit of ricotta plus…
Buttermilk Fried Chicken with Thyme Cheddar Waffles
Buttermilk fried chicken is one of those things people always want to know how to make. I get it, it’s seemingly so simple, but it’s also just as easy to screw up. There are several factors that need to be on point in order for your buttermilk fried chicken to be stellar. First, oil temperature….
Creamy Garlic and Tomato Shrimp and Fontina Grits
Not too many people breathing free oxygen dislike shrimp and grits. If there’s anyone out there who doesn’t love this southern classic (for reasons other than allergies, and even then, I’m still skeptical), I want nothing to do with them. Shrimp and grits just go so well together. I’m not a fan of bland grits,…
Shakshuka – Eggs in Purgatory
Shakshuka is seriously one of the best culinary creations ever. Some call it “Eggs in Purgatory“, you can call it whatever you want — as long as you make it, and eat it, and hug yourself afterwards. What is Shakshuka (or Shakshouka)? It’s essentially eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce. Sounds simple enough, right? It’s…
Garlicky Shrimp Scampi over Creamy Parmesan Grits
I honestly have no words for how insanely good this is. I just need you to stop whatever it is you’re doing and make this right away. It. Is. AMAZING! Fully adaptable, easily doubled, just damn good. The way that garlicky white wine butter sauce soaks into the grits, oh girl..please come get your life!…
Latte Glazed Mocha-Almond Cinnamon Rolls
Good morning. If you’ve tried ANY of the cinnamon roll recipes posted here, then you already know these are about to be insane as well. These satisfy all of my cravings — buttery, doughy, cinnamon’y, chocolatey, nutty, espresso’y, glaze’y…mmmmm. The one thing you should know about these in particular is that conceptually, they may sound a little…
Buttery “Buttermilk” Pancakes | A Kitchen Hack
This is a quick recipe that you should keep on hand for those days you want buttery, buttermilk pancakes — but don’t have real buttermilk. Oh noes!! Don’t worry, adding a little acid to whole milk will pretty much give you the same result. I love my pancakes all kinds of ways, fluffy diner-style, griddle-style…
Leek, Sausage & Chanterelle Puff Pastry Frittatas
I really like cute food. I eat with my eyes first, so if it’s cute, I’ll provide it with a barrage of awww’s while devouring it. This is one of those recipes you could totally make your own — that’s the whole idea, right? Due to the fact it’s been a deliciously fatty holiday (as it should be), I had some frozen puff pastry leftover and decided to throw some delicious eggy goodness in there and bake it pretty. If you don’t like mushrooms, you’re a weirdo — kidding! You can totally leave them out. You could swap out the expensive chanterelle’s for a more affordable button, shiitake, or portobello variety. You could use bacon instead of sausage, ANY kind of cheese you want — the possibilities are endless.
