Breakfast bon voyage from Ann Arbor
Friends in Ann Arbor sent us on our final leg of the journey with a bon voyage Mediterranean breakfast. Healthy, fresh, and full of flavor. Laced with love from a Lebanese kitchen, their morning meals provided a kick-start to each new day. When departure day from Michigan arrived, we prepared to complete our journey with […]
Raisin reason
Need a reason to stock up on raisins? Try this variation on raisin & bran muffins. My 9-year-old neighbor prepared this batch with minimal assistance. The thick and creamy batter produces a generous result. Raisins in the muffins 1 box (15 oz.) bran or raisin bran cereal ½ cup raisins ½ cup […]
Cranberry sauce smoothies
Reach into the refrigerator and recycle your leftover cranberry sauce with a festive take on smoothies. Blend this: two bananas 8 ounces yogurt 1 cup ice two tablespoons leftover cranberry sauce (We prepared the sauce two days ago with water, fresh cranberries, grated orange peel, and sugar.) Yield: Four small smoothies.

We’re topping our Wasa with butter, cheese and cucumbers in The […]
Love on the griddle
If we prepared French Toast often, this breakfast fest wouldn’t be a treat. From whole wheat bread to real maple syrup, help the kids in the kitchen put a heart-healthy spin on French Toast. If you’re due for some authentic French romance, visit The French Fork for a lesson on making and enjoying crepes.
Griddle Time
What’s up with the griddle? If the secret to a happy marriage is a waffle maker, then part of the fun in learning to cook with the kids is griddle time. If you’re stashing one in your cabinet, or storing your griddle in the garage with the camping gear, dust it off and add butter. With our large slab of iron in action this week, […]
Breakfast at . . .

With seven eggs, 1/2 cup fresh spinach, 1/4 cup shredded cheddar and 1/2 cup diced sirloin (seasoned and grilled the night before), we […]
