I'm sick of people bitcccchhiong about this site. GET A LIFE! Updated 9/22/11 to Add: If you’re coming here to sample these delicious Cinnamon Roll Pancakes, you just might like the latest recipe that I’ve posted for Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Pancakes too. And Gingerbread- Cinnamon Roll Pancakes too. Enjoy! Here’s a short video sharing how to make these delicious pancakes: If you’ve ever thought you needed a reason to eat pancakes, today is the day: National Pancake Day! How do you like your pancakes? But recently I started dreaming about mixing cinnamon rolls and pancakes together… and this is what I came up with- my new favorite pancake: Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. I have a wonderfully fluffy pancake batter that I like to use (recipe below) so I swirled a bit of cinnamon roll filling into the pancake. And they cooked up just like a pancake- fluffy, but with craters of crusty, sugary cinnamon swirled within. You might find three of these stacked in a fancy breakfast restaurant, but I’m gonna tell you that one pancake is all you need.

Oh yeah. Ingredients: Blueberry Hill | the simple lens - StumbleUpon. So, this past week we may have done something a little crazy. In case you can’t tell, that is indeed a 10 pound bag of blueberries. Yes, that’s right – 10 pounds. An acquaintance of ours recently started up a CSA , and as avid supporters of local agriculture, Andrew and I jumped at the chance to buy some of her abundant supply of blueberries.

When Andrew came home with the bag, I felt like this guy: Except for the fact that it’s been >100 degrees the past 2 days (and we don’t have AC…), which is just crazy considering how much of the year I spend FREEZING here in Pennsylvania. Annnnyway, you might be asking, what the heck is she going to do with all those blueberries? Oh, don’t you worry – I have plans for them, my pretties. My love for berries has grown exponentially in the past few years and this summer I have become an all-out, self-proclaimed blueberry fiend. First up – pancakes. So, what does this mean?

Makes 2 servings (~ 10 larger-than-silver-dollar pancakes) Materials Methods 1. 2. 3. 4. Breakfast Tacos. Corn tortillas stuffed with eggs, veggies, cheese, and salsa make a perfect start to the day Americans have been taco crazy for decades, yet most of us have never thought of the tortilla as a breakfast food. Not the case in Austin, Texas, where the 99-cent tacos stuffed with scrambled eggs, beans, and salsa mark the beginning of the day for many a local. Infectiously delicious, to be sure, but also a perfectly healthy start to your day, assuming you stick to corn tortillas, which have half the calories and twice the fiber of their flour counterparts.

You'll need: 4 strips bacon, chopped 1/2 onion, chopped 2 cups sliced mushrooms 1 1/2 cups frozen spinach, thawed 6 eggs, beaten Salt and black pepper to taste 8 corn tortillas 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese Pico de Gallo or bottled salsa How to Make It: *Cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes, until the fat renders out and the bacon begins to crisp.

*Heat the tortillas in a pan over medium heat. Sunrise Sandwich. We are firm believers in the splendors of the original Egg McMuffin, along with many of the other ready-to-eat breakfast sandwiches that have followed in its wake. But not all handheld breakfast bites are so virtuous, many of them being flooded with excessive carbs and fat. And even the McMuffin can be greatly improved upon, which is exactly what we do here, subbing in lean turkey for Canadian bacon, adding lycopene-rich tomato, and crowning it all with a spread of heart-healthy guacamole.

You'll Need: 1 tsp canola or olive oil 1 egg Salt and black pepper to taste 2 oz smoked turkey breast 1 slice American, Cheddar, or pepper Jack cheese 1 thick slice tomato 1 whole-wheat English muffin, split and toasted 1 Tbsp Guacamole or Wholly Guacamole How to Make It: * Heat the oil in a small nonstick skillet or saute pan over medium heat until hot. Pull Apart Lemon Coffee Cake. The title says "cake" but I really feel that "bread" better describes what this is. Sweet yeasty dough cut and slathered with butter and lemon infused sugar is baked and then spread with lemon cream cheese icing. Once its iced you can just peel the slices off, no need to cut (who has time to find a knife anyways??) When I think coffee cake I think dense, moist, and sweet.. this is more soft, lemony, and sweet-ish. Bread is a better description.

However, it really doesn't matter what you call it, its not going to be around for long after you make it. This one was pulled to pieces and disappeared in a flash at our brunch on Sunday . I found the recipe at 17 and Baking and I knew that I *had* to make it for brunch. The dough is a bit sticky so having a stand mixer helps form it without getting it all over your hands. It also helps to have a ruler as a guide for cutting the strips of dough before stacking them and cutting again. Soft inside with flecks of lemon and orange zest. 1. 2. 3. 4. Blueberry Oatmeal Crumble Bars. Blueberry Oatmeal Crumble bars with crumbly oats, plump and juicy blueberries and a hint of lemon make these crumble bars the perfect snack or dessert.

These bars are super easy to make, taste delicious and wonderful for those upcoming summer cookouts, picnics, or pot lucks. They have the picture perfect balance of fruity, tangy and crumbly. You might have noticed that these oatmeal crumble bars are similar to the Blueberry Crumble Bars that I shared with you in January, except with these the crust and crumble have crunchy oats.

These crumble bars are best straight out of the refrigerator and even better topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Filed under the very large category of Things Pretty Much Every New Yorker Already Knew About But Was News To Me (don’t bother trying to hail a cab after noon on a Friday, filthy stoops are irresistible for the chill-minded set, etc.), the City Bakery on 18th Street has some astoundingly good French toast on Sunday mornings. It’s also astoundingly expensive, as things will go at a bakery with sweets like you can’t find anywhere else and an iron grip on its original recipes.

Their version is a ridiculously thick wedge of battered bread with a caramelized lid that requires no syrup or other accompaniment — well, except maybe some crispy salty strips of bacon — to make it sing. Of course, I’m not trying to make their French toast, I would leave that to their expertise. The snafu me and my poor little middle fingertip — leading to countless, “Look what I hurt today!”
