‘Tis the season for eggnog and decadent breakfast! These Eggnog Pancakes with Cinnamon Syrup are the perfect Christmas Day treat to devour after opening presents beneath the tree.
In my hometown of Memphis, an eggnog-esque drink called Boiled Custard is sold during the holiday season. A quick Google search reveals it’s a Southern drink, though I’ve never seen it in any of the other places I’ve lived. (And I’ve lived all over the South.) [Read more…]
Everything’s better in Paris.
At least, that’s what they say. While I cannot personally attest to this global attitude (yet!), I have to admit that the French just know how to do things right. Croissants, cheese, wine, escargot (surprisingly delicious!), and chocolate.
Good grief. I’ll never buy powdered hot cocoa again after trying this Peppermint French Hot Chocolate. If this is any indication of how much better things taste in France, I’m booking a ticket ASAP. [Read more…]
Have you ever heard of a clafoutis? I hadn’t until I stumbled upon one on Pinterest randomly one day. I thought it was just a cake, until I saw what the inside looked like.
I was intrigued.
A clafoutis is what you’d get if a pancake and a custard had a baby.
A delicious, fruit-packed, eggy baby, dusted with powdered sugar and (ideally) topped with sweet whipped cream.
Traditionally, the French clafoutis is made with cherries, but I switched it up and used the fruit I had in my fridge to bring you this Blueberry Pear Clafoutis. [Read more…]
Marcella Rose here. Now if you are like me, you’re constantly trying to save money and what a better way to save than to use those leftovers! It’s always a shame to throw away perfectly good food, am I right? Now I don’t just like to warm up a leftover, though I have been known to do so, but where is the imagination in that?! What I love is taking a leftover and making something extraordinary with it; something that makes the family run to the table.
So today I want to share with you an easy and quick recipe that will use your leftover white rice in a flash and with some panache! I mean we all order take out and it seems that with every dish comes the ubiquitous box of white rice. You may eat a scoop, but I have never once used up all the rice. Sometimes I make a rice pudding (I will share that recipe with you next time!) but most times I make fried rice.
What I love about fried rice is that your can serve it for every meal! If I serve it in the morning I like to baste an egg and place it on top; the gooey, runny yolk makes for a great sauce on the rice and really puts it over the top for the first meal of the day. Serve this at a brunch and your guests will be stunned and love every bit of it.
