Yet another French toast recipe; this is rich, and delicious. What can I say? I absolutely love a family or friends get together at Brunch! This is very rich, so one”sandwich” can be cut diagonally for each person. However, a hearty appetite will appreciate the full square. I hope you enjoy!
1 cup, firmly packed, […]

A truly great Sunday morning or weeknight meal. Have some good, thick toast, obviously the bacon, or perhaps heat up Banquet brand sausage, or Jimmy Dean sausage - improvise and eat up! My mother likes fried bologna - whatever you like. This recipe is very forgiving and very versatile. Throw in the leftovers in your […]

**Updated Recipe for Mother’s Day**
Just the name makes my mouth water. You can partially assemble this the night before; either way, it should have at least a 4-hour refrigeration. And, feel free to substitute fresh pears or plums for the apples.
1 loaf French Bread, cut into thin slices
3 eggs
3 cups milk or half-n-half
2 tsp. pure […]

What? Yup, these are a ricotta cheese based waffle and are they delicious! We sometimes have them for dinners as a nice change so I usually have to double the recipe.

I’ve never been much of a pancake eater but I realized it’s because those “instant” mixes just don’t measure up to a homemade version. This recipe is very easy, these are staple ingredients you probably have in your cupboards and taste so much better than a box or easy pour carton. See *Notes at the […]

Great on any morning, especially any holiday. This makes a good-sized casserole, so halve it if needed. Your guests may possibly stay longer after tasting.

1 lb. mushrooms, sliced
1 large onion, diced
1/2 green pepper, diced
2 Tbsp. butter
12 slices white or egg-type bread
1/2 lb. pre-cooked deli type ham - diced
1 lb. bacon

Not just a retro thing. Best eaten the same day it’s made.

4 slices bacon, cooked & crumbled
3 extra large eggs
1 cup half-n-half
1/2 grated Pecorino Romano cheese
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
Fresh black pepper
Pinch of nutmeg

Pre-bake the pie shell at 350 degrees, take out of oven, then turn up […]

Good old American French Toast. This makes about 8 pieces of toast. Enjoy it with your choice of toppings - we use warmed maple syrup - or we eat it plain. Goes great with hot coffee.

4 extra large eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 Tbsp. sugar
8 pieces good sturdy white bread, or egg-type […]

Who says they’re only for breakfast? Use ‘em instead of baked or mashed, your family will be thrilled. The trick is to parboil the potatoes first, then they pan-fry so much better.

About 6 med-sized potatoes, peeled & cut into slices or chunks
1/2 a green pepper, chopped
4 Tbsp. olive oil
1 small onion, peeled & diced
2 cloves […]
