Breakfast Bagel Sandwich with Eggs and Bacon

February 2, 2010 by Ellen · 1 Comment 

I bought some plain old cheap bagels at the grocery store the other day, along with some whipped cream cheese.  At some point I cooked up some bacon for something and had a few slices left over in the frig, which led directly to the most delicious fast breakfast I’ve had in a while. The [...]

Homemade Cinnamon Rolls

December 24, 2009 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

These are a long standing tradition in our house for Christmas morning and other special days.  The joy is that you can make large batch and freeze half for some other special day. This makes a generous 12 rolls. I usually cut the size down a bit and get more. This is one of the [...]

Summer Mornings: Starting with a Yogurt Lassi

July 18, 2009 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

I’ve stopped drinking coffee for a bit. It’s too hot and it was bothering my stomach. But I still want something to sip in the morning before I sit down for breakfast. On cooler mornings a cup of tea does the trick, but lately it’s been too hot to want anything warm to drink.  I’ve [...]

Hi, I’m Allison, Ellen’s youngest daughter. Tonight, my sister was out, so I decided to make dinner for my mom. It was my first time cooking a meal on my own, and mom enjoyed it so much that she told me I had to blog it. I decided that my meal was going to be [...]

Prosciutto Breakfast Bagel

February 23, 2009 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

When I was looking through the Scarpetta cookbook, I spotted Marino’s Breakfast Bagel Sandwich and noted it mentally. Then when I went shopping the prosciutto just about jumped into my shopping basket. NOT cheap cooking. But very delicious. I bought some onion bagels, prosciutto, and Swiss cheese. Split the bagels in half and toasted one [...]

Baked Apple Pancake

This is good for a fairly quick but yet special breakfast. It served 3 of us about perfectly. You spend a few minutes getting everything ready, then pop it in the oven for 20 minutes. 6 Tbs butter 2 large apples, peeled, cored, and sliced 3 Tbs lemon juice 5 Tbs powdered sugar 1/4 tsp [...]

Breakfast Smoothies: Perfect Recipe for Losing Weight and Eating Great

September 6, 2008 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

I’ve been cooking from The Perfect Recipe for Losing Weight and Eating Great and have several great new additions to my repertoire. I picked this book up on the basis of a recommendation from one of the blog readers and want to say “Thanks!” It’s as fantastic as her other books. The recipes are delicious, [...]

Crustless Quiche

August 22, 2008 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

Another hit from The Perfect Recipe for Losing Weight and Eating Great, a crustless quiche with chicken apple sausage and apples and sage. I cheated a bit and used all whole eggs rather than half eggs and half egg whites. Mainly because I’m just in it for the good food and not the weight loss! [...]

Buttermilk Pancakes

March 30, 2008 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

I will use the powdered buttermilk when I haven’t planned ahead and it works fine…but it’s not as good as real buttermilk. I bought some real buttermilk last week and hadn’t gotten around to using it in anything. This morning, freshly returned from a nice Spring break at Disneyland, I decided buttermilk pancakes were in [...]

Bread Pudding

February 4, 2008 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

This would be best with slightly stale substantial bread I think, but it came out great with some not stale whole grain white bread too. If you like rice pudding, you’ll probably like this. It’s the same basic custard cooked with bread instead of rice. Some folks remove the crusts on the bread for stuff [...]
