Pumpkin Pie Breakfast Bars with Easy Granola Crumb Crust
She had me at pumpkin pie for breakfast. Of course, if you’ve been reading this blog for a few seasons now, you’ve likely read that my family has been known to eat strawberry shortcake and apple dumplings for dinner. Though this seasonal dessert-turned-meal concept shocked my husband when we were newly married (at that point,…
Pumpkin “Bran” Muffins (a gluten- and dairy-free adaptation of an FAK favorite)
Bran muffins are a seemingly wholesome way to start the day, yet so many bran muffins rely on sugar and oil to create moisture and flavor. Enter pumpkin! My original recipe for Pumpkin Bran Muffins is a family and reader favorite. Over the years, however, I have received many requests for a gluten-free version. However,…

Folded Omelet for One with Lox, Shallot & Yogurt
My favorite New York City breakfast is quite simple: a fresh, chewy bagel with a shmear (to use proper deli lingo) of cream cheese and a layer of lox. A few capers and some minced red onion sprinkled on top cranks this deli classic up an extra notch. So when I received a copy of…
Easy Egg & Guacamole Breakfast Pizza
Two nutritional powerhouses join forces for a filling, savory breakfast that satisfies just as well when served as a super simple dinner!

Crunchy Amaranth Granola Rounds
I loved to collect the mail when I was a child. The thought of a special letter or magazine waiting for me fueled the anticipation.

Roasted Asparagus with Egg and Prosciutto
When paired with a protein-rich egg, these slender green spears form the basis of a satisfyingly simple meal with “French country” appeal!

The flavor of homemade fried rice will rival your favorite takeout version and be healthier too. Make use of leftover rice and chicken for the easiest of meals.
