Dad’s Stuff and Junk

Posted in breakfasts, cooking on February 29, 2008 | 3 Comments »

Every few weeks I make what we call Dad’s Stuff and Junk for Saturday breakfast. It varies from week to week depending on what I have on hand, but usually goes something like this.
Dice potatoes into half-inch cubes. Saute rosemary and garlic in butter, lard, or olive oil or a combination of those for a [...]

Food Fun

If you want your kids to eat your cooking, sometimes you have to make the food fun. For breakfast this morning we had fried leftover mashed potatoes, turkey bacon, scrambled eggs, orange quarters, and Gouda from Holland.

Pocket Pies

Posted in baking, breakfasts on November 26, 2007 | No Comments »

These make a great Saturday morning breakfast. It has taken me about 5-6 tries to get all the kinks ironed out of these, but I’m pretty happy with this recipe now.

1 1/3 cups whole wheat pastry grain (or about 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour)
6 tablespoons rapadura or sucanat
6 tablespoons butter
2/3-3/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon baking [...]

Easy Cinnamon Rolls

Posted in baking, breakfasts, recipes, sweets on June 2, 2007 | 7 Comments »

Here’s a good Saturday morning treat that my grandmother introduced me to. I have tweaked it to make it a bit more nutritious, but the basic concept is the same.
Make a batch of biscuit dough.

1 1/3c soft white wheat ground into flour (about 2c flour)
1/4 cup butter
2/3 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 [...]

Breakfast Burritos

Posted in breakfasts, cooking on May 23, 2007 | No Comments »

Here’s a great idea for breakfasts. This morning we had breakfast burritos. I used my homemade tortillas, scrambled eggs (with a little milk and gruyere), some leftover filling for beef and rice pastries, homemade sour cream, and salsa (we cheated and used commercial salsa).

Egg Gravy

Posted in breakfasts, cooking, recipes on May 10, 2007 | 1 Comment »

My daughter Hannah absolutely loves biscuits and gravy. Usually we (she likes to help) make sausage gravy, but sometimes we run out of sausage. When that happens we make egg gravy. My mother-in-law makes this and calls it “Eggs ala Golden Rod.” Here’s how I do it.

4-5 eggs
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
milk (whole)
salt
pepper
nutmeg

Cover the [...]

Corn Bread

Posted in baking, breakfasts, foodosophy on November 13, 2006 | No Comments »

I’ve made the Nourishing Traditions (NT) cornbread several times and really like the recipe. The key is that I use masa harina rather than using the technique of grinding whole dry corn kernels and then soaking them in yogurt and lime water. I’ve heard horror stories on the discussingnt Yahoo group about following those [...]

Chocolate Muffins

Posted in baking, breakfasts, recipes, sweets on November 8, 2006 | 10 Comments »

I’ve been using Sue Gregg’s Breakfasts cookbook for a couple months now and I love it. Every recipe I’ve tried has been great.
I recently decided to try modifying one of her muffin recipes. My kids (and wife) will often eat things if they have even the remotest inkling that there might be chocolate in them. [...]

Hot Cereal

Posted in breakfasts, cooking, recipes on October 26, 2006 | 3 Comments »

I never used to be a fan of hot cereals. However, they have grown on me with age. Going off of recipes in both Nourishing Traditions and Sue Gregg’s Breakfasts book, I have arrived at a hot cereal I really like.
I take whatever whole grains I have on hand. Usually that’s brown rice, barley, oats, [...]
