My current favorite breakfast/brunch to eat at home (and by favorite I mean every single day!) is FAGE (fa-yeh) Greek Yogurt with fruit toppings. Of all the yogurt I've tried, both greek and non-greek, this is the absolute best! It's thick and tangy and, compared to non-greek yogurt, fills you right up for a big part of the day.

It's been a while since I've done a breakfast post, so here's one that I've been wanting to post for a long time now.  My family discovered De Dutch Panneokoek House a long time ago.  We were so intrigued by the thin pancakes that we even toyed briefly with the idea of bringing the whole concept to Manila.  Since that time, De Dutch has undergone ( Read more... )

Dinner tonight was Grilled Chicken with Fresh Grape Glaze.  I saw the recipe in Cooking Light magazine (fJune 2005), and since I had some seedless red grapes in the fridge, I thought I'd give it a try.

The blueberries for sale this season have been magnificent and I can't resist buying them. Having loads of blueberries, however, brings up the oh-so-delicious problem of what to make with all of them.   I couldn't very well keep making bllueberry muffins over and over again now could I?  One of my solutions is Blueberry French Toast.  It's one of ( Read more... )
