breakfast
zucchini bread and/or muffins
This is kind of an unofficial veggie patch update: WE HAVE A MILLION ZUCCHINIS AND MORE COMING BY THE MINUTE. I’m not freaking out or anything. I mean, you all warned me that zucchini is prolific, so I was kind of prepared. And the freezer can probably hold a lot of zucchini bread, right? And…

It’s rainy here. As in: I can’t remember what the sun looks like. Day after day of rain, and day after day of rain in the forecast. I’m getting kind of cranky, and I’m not sure where to direct this anger, so I’ve decided to whine about it. I’m wondering just how the heck my…
Read Morechocolate chip pancakes
Happy long weekend! I’ve made some plans for you. I think you might want to eat these. And I’m thinking you might wanna make ’em tomorrow morning. Because they’re good. Real good. I made these for 2.0 last weekend. As mentioned before, he’s really into chocolate chips (read: he keeps pillaging my baking cupboard). I…
Read Moreorange yogurt pancakes
Pancakes. Let’s just think about pancakes for a moment. Are you thinking? Warm. Covered in syrup. A socially acceptable bedroom food. Three for three, baby. Breakfast is, in my opinion, the most super awesome meal of the day. Often, I test new recipes out on 2.0 on Friday mornings. He’s sleepy after a long week on…
Read Morechocolate chip muffins
On Friday morning I awoke to a bed filled with cats and 2.0. As I lay trapped between my furry friends, I thought of coffee and muffins. I wondered if I would be able to free myself without waking 2.0 in order to pillage the kitchen. I wondered if I would be able to free…

Is this breakfast? Because I can’t seem to stop telling you about it. It’s like the… fourth post in a row. I promise the next post will not be breakfast related. It’s just that with another storm headed to these here parts, I thought my Maritime friends might want something tasty and warm coming out…

Yesterday was a snow day at work. But it was my day off, so it was a total rip off. So now I’m sitting here thinking about breakfast. How are the two connected? They aren’t. I guess I’m on a breakfast kick. It could be worse. I could be into cocaine. I could live on…

I have a lovely student named Elsa. She could easily fit in here at our house. Neat and tidy, highly organized, and really into cooking and crafting. She’s the kind of kid who likes all of that old-fashioned-is-cool-again stuff. When she and her mother, Christy, are around me at work, my day is always less yucky.…
Read Moreemily’s ridiculously simple banana bread
For some reason, 2.0 and I have been talking a lot about banana bread recently. It’s not the kind of thing that we have conversed about much in the past, but I haven’t been able to get it out of my head. So, after allowing some bananas to get nice and ripe on the counter, and after banging…
Read Moreto die for blueberry muffins
Things are finally settling down here at the Cat Farm, so to mark the occasion, I made blueberry muffins for breakfast. I threw some huge organic blueberries into our grocery cart last night, thinking we could have them with yogurt and bran buds (make fibre your friend), but woke craving something warm from the oven.…
