Shrove Tuesday. Fat Tuesday. Mardi Gras (literally “Fat Tuesday” in French). Pancake Day. No matter what your background is, today offers a fun excuse to have pancakes for dinner (something that was always one of my favorites when I was a kid). To celebrate, I made my buttermilk pancakes more festive with a chunky blackberry maple syrup.
I made green eggs and ham again to celebrate Dr. Seuss’ birthday which is tomorrow {March 2}. This time I used spinach juice instead of green food coloring to make the green eggs. The natural dye of the spinach turned the eggs a beautiful green and you won’t even taste the spinach.
These almond-filled ebleskiver are best described as bite-sized, melt-in-your-mouth bear claws, little puffs of almond that are perfect for breakfast, dessert, and any time in between.
I typically make an assortment of flavors when I make ebleskiver but these Nutella-filled pancakes are so yummy that they deserve their own post. They are also a delicious way to celebrate World Nutella Day.
Ebleskiver are similar to the American version of pancakes except that they seem to be lighter and fluffier due to the egg whites being beaten into stiff peaks. I like to make an assortment of flavors when I make ebleskiver, leaving some plain and filling the others with a variety of ingredients.
This fuss-free french toast is perfect for busy mornings or breakfast parties because you simply put the ingredients in a pan and broil the french toast in the oven.
Happy Valentine’s Day! For a quick, fiber-filled Valentine’s Day breakfast I made bran muffin hearts with my Mini Heart Baking Pan. If you don’t have heart pans you can bake part of the muffin batter in a 9×13 pan and cut out hearts with a cookie cutter.
These red and white muffins are perfect for Valentine’s Day and a great alternative to all of the chocolate and ultra-sweet treats for which Valentine’s Day is known.
This gooey cinnamon pull-apart bread is like a whole pan of the insides of cinnamon rolls. It’s yummy, easy and sure to be a favorite of kids and adults alike.
This bread has a sweet, light eggnog flavor that works for breakfast or dessert. You can serve it plain or ice it with buttercream frosting.
