Eggnog Pancakes
We usually don't have any milk in the house given that we are both black coffee drinkers. The other thing we didn't have is any bread for toast or anything else for breakfast. I decided to use eggnog instead of milk. These Eggnog Pancakes are excellent, especially for Christmas morning.

Scrambled Eggs with Tomato & Cheese in the Microwave
My brother David called me and said he couldn't find his recipe for Scrambled Eggs with Tomato & Cheese in the Microwave. To be honest, I had never heard of it but, with one eyebrow raised, I managed to find the recipe he likes. It's from Martha Stewart. Who knew she would ever stoop to so low to use a microwave! Here is the beauty of this, you make it, cook it and eat it all in the same little bowl or cup. I think this would be a great way for all the frazzled parents to make breakfast for their kids in the morning before online school. I realize you might have to replace the tomatoes for some cooked bacon or sausage!

Freezer-Friendly Egg Cups
I've been making a lot of different things for the freezer. I cook all the time, but sometimes I just don't feel like it. These Freezer-Friendly Egg Cups are basically like the Sous-Vide eggs you get at Starbucks. This recipe is very versatile and can be made with many different ingredients. For instance, I used bacon and Gruyère cheese, but you could easily make this vegetarian by using chopped up cherry tomatoes, cheddar (or pepper jack) and fresh basil, etc. Look through you fridge and come up with your favorite combination. I made mine in the Instant Pot with a silicone mold, but I have also included the instructions for your oven. You just take them out of the freezer and microwave for 1½ minutes and voilà, you have breakfast!

Hash Browns with Quinoa and Chilis
I had breakfast in the Delta Sky Club on my way to New York and had this Hash Browns with Quinoa and Chilis. It was so good that I thought I would post the recipe. You could make it as crispy as you like. It's very healthy and delicious.

Homemade Breakfast Sausage
For some reason, I wanted to make my own sausage patties. These Homemade Breakfast Sausage are easy to make. I keep them in the freezer to use for my egg McMuffin breakfast sandwiches. I used fresh herbs because I have no dried. You could also make these using ground chicken or turkey.

Fried Egg on a Bed of Hash Browns with Lao Gan Ma Spicy Chili Crisp
Lao Gan Ma Spicy Chili Crisp is the new craze in condiments. ... It's one of China's, and possibly the world's, tastiest chili oils. Spicy Chili Crisp is the classic, full of crispy onions, chilies and Sichuan pepper bits. It's used mostly as a condiment or ingredient in Sichuan cold sauces. My husband came home last night after a 12 hour flight from NY to LA (long story!), so I made him this Fried Egg on a Bed of Hash Browns with Lao Gan Ma Spicy Chili Crisp for breakfast. I thought it might wake him up! It turns out it is really delicious and not too spicy.

Artichoke Spinach Quiche With Cheesy Hash Brown Crust
I was waiting for my husband and my mother who were flying in from New York and their plane was diverted and delayed for about 4 hours. So I made this Artichoke Spinach Quiche With Cheesy Hash Brown Crust for when they got here. It's a great because it can be made ahead. This is the 4th quiche I have used this hash brown crust recipe. I will come clean and tell you that I bought frozen shredded potatoes! I am way to lazy to shred my own. Also, this curst actually has cheese in it! So this makes it gluten-free. Anyway, I love this quiche which has Boursin (an herbed cheese) in the filling.

Steel Cut Oats with Almond Milk
Here are to ways to make Steel Cut Oats with Almond Milk. One way is in an Instant Pot and the other way on the stovetop. Oatmeal is a proven winner, both for its flavor and its health benefits, but the same old oatmeal every week gets boring. This version, made with steel cut (also known as pinhead) oats and almond milk is especially delicious.

Currant-Orange Irish Soda Bread
I know that it's a day after the fact, but I made this bread yesterday for lunch and it was so good that I had to post it. Our orange trees are bursting with blossoms in our backyard and the intense aroma lured my outside. I also happened to have leftover currants.
Ireland's famous freckled quick-bread is expected on St. Patrick's Day, but the currants and orange zest in this loaf make it wonderful for year around baking. Sliced soda bread makes fantastic toast -- give it a try!

Omelet Soufflé
