Repeating Recipes: Old Fashioned Doughnuts

My mom's Grandma Frances used to make these all of the time. She used to bake and cook a lot in general. When it came time to find some recipes I knew what I had to do–get a chair and reach for the highest kitchen shelf where mom keeps the box of old recipes (pretty convenient, visiting the family for the holidays).

Repeating Recipe: Cucumber Spread on a Salt Bagel

This recipe for Cucumber Spread is actually from my mom (who was also the inspiration for Lindsay's recipe). Traditionally it's a dip for chips but I'm counting it as a breakfast food because it is sooooo doooope on a salt bagel. You just don't know.

It's simple, it's delicious and it's a family favorite! It's also healthy because it has TWO vegetables in it! Right?

Repeating Recipes : Norwegian Blueberry Breakfast Crepes

After a long drive on December 23rd, Chris and I finally arrived at his mom's house in Stoughton, Wisconsin. A grueling seven hours after we set off from Minneapolis, we unfolded ourselves from the car, stretched, grabbed our bags, dogs and presents, and wobbled up the stairs to a room filled with the Chris's ever-growing family. There were babies, siblings, pets, and great food there to greet us.

Myra, Chris's mom is wonderful, caring and very into her Norwegian heritage. Her home is decorated with a beautiful collection of Norwegian art, including a wall of intricate Rosemaling paintings.
When I thought if what kind of food to pick for my very first repeating recipe, I skipped some of the first things that come to mind, and went to something a little fun, and a little sweet.

Norwegian Blueberry Breakfast Crepes
I have limited cooking experience with Crepes, but I am a master of eating them. I love crepes of all kinds: sweet AND savory. I figured I'd choose something easy, yet beautiful to share with you! I could eat these by the truckload.

I found this delightful recipe on Food.com, contributed by a person self-named 'Dreamer in Ontario'. It's easy to use, and delicious!

This sure beats a recipe for Norwegian Lefse, doesn't it!

Daily Pattern: Balanced Breakfast

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. I don't always have it, which may correlate with my fondness for it; a day where you can afford the time to sit down and eat something hot in the morning is a good day.
