Peanut Butter, Banana Breakfast Cookie

Easy, and convenient breakfast options are popular in our house, and this one is at the top of our list. Easy to mix up, and bake, we also discovered that the cookie dough freezes well, and you can take it right out of the freezer into the oven for a super convenient option, in about the time it takes to make your morning coffee.

Fresh Lemon Blueberry Scones

This lemon-blueberry scone recipe yields a flaky, buttery, sugar-crusted, and berry-loaded scone. Buttermilk makes the crumb, especially tender, and a hint of fresh lemon zest so nicely complements the berries, adding a touch of brightness, too.

Chorizo, Potato, and Feta Frittata

Granola

Julia found this recipe and made it several times before heading off to college. Ever since, Sonia and I make it regularly, since we could not find a granola that we like enough to buy from a grocery store. Granola

Almond Cake

Simple, yet delicious is the best way to describe this amazingly moist and flavorful cake. If friends are coming over for dinner, you can rest assured that Almond Cake is on the menu. On a recent visit, our friend Gary said to me "I don't know how you do it, if this was in my house, I'd eat it for breakfast". To which I replied "yeah, what's wrong with that?" One 9-inch or 10-inch (23-25 cm) cake. This cake is best made in the food processor. If using a stand mixture, use the paddle attachment and let the mixer run until the almond paste is finely broken up.

Pancakes

It just wouldn't be a cookbook without a pancake recipe for our family. This recipe is ingrained in my brain from literally hundreds, if not thousands of executions. I haven't looked at a printed version of this recipe in more than 10 years. The great thing about it is that you can create your own variations, as desired.
