One of our “go-to” dinners is “breakfast for dinner”, or “brinner”, as some of my friends call it. Frequently, that means eggs with sausage and hashbrowns. But sometimes, it means fried potatoes with tomatoes and cilantro with the eggs instead. This is my favorite way with “brinner”!
Sometimes, my fifteen-year old and I will have this for lunch, too (the boys aren’t very fond of potatoes). I will give the recipe for two large servings. It doubles just fine.

Multi-grain Oatmeal with Blueberries
Lately, more often than not, we have oatmeal with fruit for breakfast. Sometimes I make up a big pot of steel-cut oats early in the week and then just re-heat it by the bowlful the rest of the week. It microwaves beautifully.

Either way, while it’s hot from the microwave, we just stir

This has become one of our favorites. I am in love with the flavor combination of whole wheat and cinnamon. Of course, I am about cinnamon the way other people are about chocolate, so I’m kind of guaranteed to love this.

When I was a little girl, my mom would make rice pudding and it was one of my favorite treats. This weekend, when my boys went to visit her, she made it for them and I got to take a tiny taste. I asked and she scanned and emailed the recipe to me – from an old copy of the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. I compared that recipe to the one in my more recent copy of the BHG cookbook, and wow, has it changed. The newer one has less milk, no butter, fewer eggs, and a more complicated

I didn’t garden this year, and I am so missing it. Yesterday, I bought some zucchini at a natural foods store not too far from my house so I could enjoy one of the quintessential flavors of summer – zucchini bread. I followed a new recipe, and changed it up to add some extra nutrition. I also found out the pan size this recipe specified, 8×4½”, was way too small. I will be spending tomorrow cleaning my oven.
Here’s a tip I usually follow, but didn’t today: If there’s any chance that your batter may overflow the pan, always put a
