Cheddar Cheese Buttermilk Scones
For the longest time, I did not know the difference between a scone and biscuit. I basically operated under the assumption that “scone” was merely a fancy British term for what we Americans know as biscuits. Finally, I decided to

Buttermilk Pancakes
What better way to start a morning than with pancakes? When they are fresh out of the pan and drizzled with maple syrup, it is like giving your belly and soul a warm hug. Now, who can say no to

Scrambled Egg Breakfast Tacos
I am a big fan of breakfast. It is, after all, the most important meal of the day. I know many of us are busiest in the morning with work, school, and kids, that breakfast is often overlooked. Just because

Hot Cereal aka Farina
With the winter months coming, a nice bowl of hot cereal is a great morning meal to have. I love farina because it is a nice alternative to oatmeal. It has a smoother texture than cooked oats and just seems

Waffles
In my opinion, homemade waffles fall into the category of Ultimate-in-Lazy-Leisure-Breakfasting. It is right up there with other breakfast delights such as French toast, Eggs Benedict, and the Frittata. Sure, most people reserve the laborious task of waffle-making for the

Maple-Glazed Bacon with Thyme

Ok. So this isn’t an actual recipe. There is nothing wrong with taking something ready-made and jazzing it up. Just a little bit of assemblage and a touch of visual interest increases the overall appetizing quotient of an otherwise standard
