This is the ideal brunch recipe. When you’re lazy, sleepy, and expected to whip up a storm, these come together in one bowl, and are done and dusted within 20 minutes. Unlike Aunt Jemima’s, these emerge from the kitchen to ohhs and ahhhs. Plus they look oh-so-elegant when served with chocolate sauce and lemon wedges. […]

recipe showdown: blueberry muffins
It’s been way too long since I’ve done a Recipe Showdown. My last showdown was “Sweet Potato Casserole.” That was before Thanksgiving. Santa has come, we have rung in the new year, I’ve finished exams… heck, it’s almost Valentine’s day. For the past four months, the most prominent thing on my blogging to-do list […]
whole wheat apple blender pancakes
This past week has been pretty tough with exams and all. I really wanted to treat myself to a big, luxurious, Sunday breakfast this morning, but I couldn’t muster the energy to beat any egg whites, slice any bread, or even preheat the oven. Polynomials can really wipe a girl out. This is a recipe […]
maple almond granola
This is the best granola I’ve ever made. I am the kind of girl who never makes the same recipe twice, I am always on the quixotic search for the best recipe out there (see recipe showdown). However, this is my new “go-to” granola recipe (and this girl doesn’t do “go-to” recipes!). So I was […]
caramel apple crepes
As much as I’ve been trying to focus on my exams, all I can think about is breakfast. My eyes wander into cookbooks and onto blogs — ogling pancakes, waffles and frittatas. Those of you who follow me on Pinterest know that I’ve been clogging your dashboards with every single granola recipe under the sun. […]
honey bunches of oats granola
As I sat at my desk, wearing my fuzzy Ugg slippers, with a big mug of chamomile and an even bigger packet of derivations and proofs, all I could think about is how badly I want to be in the kitchen. I wanted to feel the warmth of the oven on my face, and pound […]
whole wheat brown butter crepes
This week is exam week at school, and things are starting to get crazy! My desk is covered in flashcards, textbooks and binders. I’ve been wearing yoga pants for so long that they may or may not be part of my skin. My hair coils into my signature “messy ballerina” bun… without an elastic. I […]
coconut breakfast quinoa
I’ve been on a total quinoa kick lately. It started with that quinoa fried rice, and I’ve been hooked on this super-food grain ever since. Overnight oats are one of my staples during the school week, they can be prepared at night and devoured in the morning. They keep me full of energy all morning […]
how to: croissants
I received a request on my recipe for butter croissants to do a photo tutorial. I have to admit, the recipe can look quite daunting when printed in black and white (almost as daunting as the history outline I should be writing now). But I have made croissants numerous times using this technique and every […]
crunchy strawberry wheatgerm pancakes
I know it’s no longer strawberry season; however, yesterday my dad came home from the store with a big box of strawberries. Weekend breakfasts are always a highlight of my week, and I tend to plan of them in advance. I was planning on making something autumn-y — apple rings, pumpkin pancakes, gingerbread waffles… But […]
