This is good for a late breakfast on Saturday, when you don't have to run out the door in a hurry like you would a weekday--when you've got plenty of time to cook breakfast at home and enjoy it. When I think of Spring, I think of crisp greens with morning bacon--particularly cabbage. There must be onion. And, of course--peppers. Have either apple or pear for … [Read more...]
Bacon-Cheese Spaghetti Squash
I didn't exactly know what to name this. The bacon and the cheese make this "pop" with taste, so I suppose I will refer to it as Bacon-Cheese Spaghetti Squash. This can be for breakfast or for a regular meal with nothing served alongside it. Soak the seeds for a few minutes in warm water if you want to roast them for the meal or just have them for a snack. I … [Read more...]
Lemon-Mint Pancakes
These Lemon-Mint Pancakes are mild--not too much lemon or mint that would overpower the enjoyment of a good fluffy pancake buttered and drizzled with syrup. They're my children's favorite (and mine). It's dessert. Measure 3 cups bread flour, 1 heaping tablespoon baking powder, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/3 cup sugar. Whisk to combine. Then whisk, very well, 5 … [Read more...]

Asparagus Egg Bake
Asparagus Egg Bake, exclusively Skirt in the Kitchen I want the sun to come in, don't you? It already feels like it's been a long winter. According to the groundhog and his shadow, we've still got far to go of seasonal harsh winds, days of drizzling ice, and winter's cold breath. I've eaten enough pickled hot peppers to combat a sore throat and a stuffy nose. You? … [Read more...]
Daylily Egg Ramen Noodle and Arugula
exclusively Skirt in the Kitchen This is bright and sunny, absolutely stunning for a breakfast or brunch on a spring morning. Just pick organic blooms, and know which flowers are edible. The Daylilies have a bit of a scallion-radish taste. It could be a wild mild onion flavor. I love these! It's sunshine and yolk, pretty on a plate. It was after a light rain when I … [Read more...]
Dandelion Egg Breakfast with Dandelion Root Coffee
Dandelion Egg Breakfast with Dandelion Root Coffee, exclusively Skirt in the Kitchen I am happy to say that the dandelion, the entire plant including its root, is actually an herb. The Leaf Lady puts it more in perspective and writes about the nutritional value, even on how to make Dandelion Root Coffee. I don't let any kind of chemical spray in my yard, not even in my … [Read more...]
Fourteen-Egg Yolk Plate Omelet
Fourteen-Egg Yolk Plate Omelet, exclusively Skirt in the Kitchen This is meant to curl your toes. Not really. Never mind. It's simple food but with a lot of eggs; yolks, that is. Save the egg whites for something else you can throw them in for a meal, whatever you have a mind to do. Only having yolks for this dish, this plate for one, is held together firmly but … [Read more...]
Wasabi-Zucchini Chocolate Chip Breakfast Muffins
Wasabi-Zucchini Chocolate Chip Breakfast Muffins, exclusively Skirt in the Kitchen I want full color, even in my baked goods, because Spring is springing forth and it has put me in the mood. The dark green peeling left on the zucchini for when it's grated to peek through the muffin cake, the vibrant Easter-green on the wasabi peas-- then finely ground into somewhat … [Read more...]
