Savory Parmesan French Toast
by BnB Finder May 14th, 2013 | Best B&B Bites, Recipes
Yes, French toast is wonderful as a sweet breakfast dish -- but it doesn't have to be sweet, and for that matter, it doesn't have to be just for breakfast. Today's recipe adds parmesan cheese, garlic and pepper flavors to the classic bread and eggs, then tops the toast with green salad and poached eggs. This dish would make a great supper. It comes to us from the Maine Stay Inn & Cottages in Kennebunkport, where you can stay in a historic 1860 house (or retreat to a private cottage), explore the town, and of course enjoy
Soda Bread, Baking Soda & Baking Powder
by Elizabeth Skipper March 13th, 2013 | Techniques, Tools, and Tips
With St. Patty's Day coming up, along with corned beef, potatoes, and cabbage, lots of Irish soda bread is going to find its way onto our tables. It's one of the easiest quick breads to make, as well as one of the quickest to go stale, so I'm amused when I see "fresh" soda bread for sale in stores already. How fresh is it going to be in a week? What is put in it to make it last a week or more? Real soda bread has a shelf life of about a day. Make your own, and avoid
Apple Cheddar Muffins

Snowed inside for about 24 hours during the blizzard, we enjoyed a homemade breakfast of sweet and savory breads. Last week I shared the recipe for Cinnamon Marbled Quick Bread. This week I have the recipe for the Apple Cheddar Muffins.
This recipe was a creation of what was on hand. I hadn't bought specific baking items, as I hadn't been certain we'd have power once the storm arrived. So, after a little bit of investigating in the pantry and refrigerator, I decided that the combination of sweet apple and sharp cheddar cheese would make a muffin that would

Cinnamon Marbled Quick Bread

As I mentioned last Monday, we were delivered two feet of snow that weekend, courtesy of the blizzard. Pre-storm I had made sure that we had plenty of food options that didn't require cooking. However, we were fortunate and never lost power during the storm. So, with a snowy, windy Saturday morning on my hands, what was there to do besides bake?
We had three teens at our house, one of whom is an almost 17 year old boy with an enormous appetite. To try and please all palates and quench hunger, I decided to make a few different

Christmas Breakfast
by TT December 10th, 2012 | Breakfast Dishes, Recipes
On Christmas morning, breakfast often becomes a distant thought. The kids are immersed in opening and enjoying new presents. Parents are busy watching, photographing, and videotaping the morning's events. Of course, gift wraps and gifts can appease the appetite for only so long. Then it becomes time to find some real sustenance. However, who wants to undertake the process of cooking a big breakfast when this is the perfect morning to enjoy?
