Books and Breakfast

Like a lot of people I’ve been baking a lot. I love to get up on Sunday morning and enjoy a treat, a mug of tea, and a book while it’s still quiet. I thought it might be fun to share some of the goodies I’ve been making.

In all of these I had to make a few substitutions, leave something out, or added a bit of something I had a lot of because I can’t exactly just run to the store.

Sourdough pumpkin muffins

Ham & Cheese Overnight Breakfast Casserole

Rhubarb is going nuts in my garden, so I’ve been using that a lot in my treats. Some favorites are:

Rhubarb Snack Cake

Rhubarb Scones

I’ve also been enjoying just plain toast. It’s so good with butter and cinnamon isn’t it?

COOKBOOK REVIEW: The Essential Air Fryer Cookbook for Beginners by Laurie Fleming

Cinnamon rolls from the air fryer are perfect for Sunday mornings

My husband was worried that when my kids gifted me an air fryer for Christmas I would take it the wrong way. My kids had seen a very persuasive infomercial though, and talked him into it. The kids were right. I love that thing. I use it at least once a week, mostly to roast vegetables.

When I got the chance to review an air fryer cookbook I jumped at it. I was ready to graduate from roasted broccoli.

The book was great. I was amazed at all of the things I can make in my air fryer. I made hard boiled eggs and cinnamon rolls right away, and they kind of saved the weekend. My only complaint is that many of the recipes called for specialty pans and ramekins.

My conclusion: it’s okay to gift your mom an air fryer, but you should buy her this book too.
