These tasty treats hail from Portugal. I used to eat them at Portuguese bakeries in Toronto when I lived in little Portugal. Now living elsewhere, I miss them and must have them. So we must make them! I referenced a recipe from Leite’s Culinaria. She has a very helpful video! I am using her work…

Pão de Queijo
Greetings from Brasil! I arrived in February and will be spending the next year in Lavras, Minas Gerais teaching English at Universidade Federal de Lavras, and doing research on food security! Importantly, I’m researching food! And guess what, we’ve got some tasty treats from this wonderfully warm country. This pão de queijo is a naturally gluten-free…
Bacon, Brie, and Basil Breakfast Galette
Every time I come home for a trip, my mom loves it when I make my galette recipe. It’s dynamic, makes great desserts, appetizers, and here, breakfasts, and you can throw in whatever you like! This time, we just had too much fun with alliteration and decided to use bacon, brie, and basil. It was…

Salvadorian Breakfast Cakes

Savory French Toast Sandwich with Bacon, Sauteed Onions, and Arugula

Coconut Tres Leches Waffles
Who doesn’t love coconut? I made some tres leches cupcakes for my darling friend Anna the other day and had left over tres leches sauce. They came out pretty wonderfully: I decided it would be best to use the leftovers for waffles the next morning. So I did. Hope you enjoy!
Naan and Sundried Tomato Egg Breakfast
I made this as kind of an egg casserole that you can make the night before, stick in the fridge and heat up in the morning. It was a hit this morning so I decided to share! For the egg caserole, you’ll need: 6 eggs 1/2 an onion, minced 3 T tomato paste 5 sundried…
Green Eggs and Ham
Everyone loves Dr. Seuss. Everyone loves green eggs and ham. If you’ve tried them at least. This recipe necessitates pesto. That’s how my eggs are green. It’s a fun surprise for kids, and a good laugh for anyone else. Finally, its delicious. I made this recipe like a breakfast sandwich, but you can make just…
Guinness St. Pat’s Pancakes
We had some leftover Guinness from making Guinness Brownies last night, so I decided it’d be fun to throw in my pancake batter!
