I wasn’t one that always liked oatmeal. To be honest I really hated the stuff! So what changed my mind? I think it was the fact that I could change up the flavoring, like in these Bacon Maple Oatmeal Cups, and bake it for an on-the-go breakfast that turned me into an oatmeal lovin’ fool. And the fact that it’s such a healthy way to start the day is a big plus! [Read more…]
Hello again! It’s Susannah from Feast + West, and I’m back with a simple breakfast recipe that’s both gluten-free and delicious. Yes, it’s possible!
Pancakes always bring up special memories of making breakfast with my dad. My mother cooked most of our family meals, but Saturday breakfast was for Dad. I remember waking up early and helping him stir and pour. There would be French toast or waffles or pancakes and always bacon — but never eggs. (Dad’s choice, not mine!)
I recently found myself with some almost-too-ripe bananas and decided to put them to use in a new way that might get Dad’s approval: banana pancakes. (Hey, does anyone hear Jack Johnson playing?) With a little coconut oil and almond flour, these pancakes are a dream to make. And eat. Man, is it Saturday yet?
I have always loved baking. I didn’t discover a love of cooking until after I got married three years ago, but baking, I’ve always loved. Granted, my definition of “baking” before was using boxed mix, I still always loved baked goods more than anything else. As I’ve grown in my cooking skills, my baking skills have grown too. I remember the first time I tried to make muffins. I used a complicated recipe that required lots of unnecessary steps and in the end my muffins didn’t turn out at all. Didn’t even make it to the oven. So now, even though I love baking, I still prefer easy recipes that truly anyone can bake from. Good food just simply doesn’t have to be complicated.
