Breakfast at an old-school cafe in Mankato. 45s on the wall, pleather booths: Appliances from the ’50s: Omelet, sausage and a little biscuit gravy on the side. Delishy. The 411 on the Wagon Wheel Cafe. Related posts: A Recap of […]
What do you do when you promised to make a casserole for a brunch at church, and only remember that when you wake up at 6 am? You run to the nearest grocery store and purchase yourself some Tater Tots. […]
What a glorious breakfast! So beautiful I had to share. You don’t really need a recipe for this, but here are a couple of tips. Use a cast iron pan that is just big enough to hold the eggs. A […]
Julia Child said it’s all in the wrist. But her omelet recipes took up 13 pages “Mastering the Art of French Cooking.” My technique is a little less complicated. Maybe not as authentic. But it makes for a nice breakfast. […]
The last thing you want to do when you wake up on Christmas morning is cook. So make your breakfast the night before. How does egg, spinach, sausage and cheese sound? I’ve made this Christmas breakfast strata recipe a few times, […]
There’s something very Christmas-y about baking a loaf of pumpkin bread. It fills the house with the aroma of those winter-warm spices while it’s cooking, and afterwards, becomes the oh-I’ll-just-sneak-a-taste snack cake you just need to have lying around over […]
Sam has been eating oatmeal for breakfast nearly every day since she was able to eat solid food. She loves it. Craves it. Adores it. (Ok, maybe it’s the maple syrup she loves, but let’s leave that between us.) So […]
Pitted cherries, oatmeal and milk. A typical Sunday breakfast for the farm’s youngest resident. And in pigtails, to boot! Related posts: Breakfast at Art Cafe Breakfast at the Art Cafe Breakfast at Mimi’s Plate in Tappan Breakfast in Boston: Eastern […]
A very good buttermilk pancake recipe gets even better with the addition of some zest from a couple of Meyer lemons. It adds a ray of sunshine to your morning breakfast. The recipe is here: Buttermilk Pancakes. Just add teaspoon […]
Another storm! We woke up to a few inches, and expected even more to pile up throughout the day. A fortifying breakfast was in order! Benton’s bacon, Charlie’s eggs and Fairway’s brioche. Delishy! Related posts: Sunday Morning Breakfast at the […]
A great summer vegetable frittata recipe to solve your leftovers problem. Use whatever vegetables you have on hand, and add meat or chicken or bacon, or not. Summer Vegetable Frittata 1 onion, diced 3 cooked sausages, cut into coins 1 […]
Leftovers in the fridge? This is the way to go. Saute some onions, chop up the leftovers — we had sausage and asparagus from the garden — add them to the onions and pour 8 or so beaten eggs over […]
UPDATE: Try this recipe with lemon zest! Just add a couple of teaspoons of lemon zest (Meyer lemon if you’ve got it) to the dry ingredients before you mix them with the wet, as I did in this post here.) […]
Karen, in to cover the UN, spent the night Friday, and we had a rollicking time on the porch with the neighbors. In the morning, we headed downtown for a walk and some eggs. Harry’s! Chicken tinga tacos for me! […]
Yes, folks, it’s February. And we’re sitting outdoors at the Art Cafe, drinking delicious coffee and having a lovely lunch. Incredible. Related posts: Shakshooka at Art Cafe in Nyack Back at the Art Cafe in Nyack Breakfast at Art Cafe […]

We love Mimi’s Plate in Tappan. The food is so darn delicious. My breakfast burrito and Greg’s breakfast sandwich were a real treat: Related posts: Breakfast at The Friendly Toast in Portsmouth Breakfast at Parc Restaurant in Philadelphia Breakfast at […]
Oh, if only I’d made a note of what recipe I’d used for these blueberry pancakes. Or maybe I combined a couple of different recipes? If so: Oh, if only I’d written down what I’d done to make these blueberry […]
This breakfast was just incredible, from the coffee to the eggs to the pastry. Unbelievable! Related posts: A Tour of Sheppard Mansion Breakfast at The Friendly Toast in Portsmouth Breakfast at Art Cafe Breakfast in Boston: Eastern Standard
Greg wins hands down on this one. He went for the BLT with artisan bacon from Nodine’s Smokehouse. I lost. Big time. I went for the biscuit and sausage gravy. On a 90-degree day. What, exactly, was I thinking? It’s […]
Ok, it’s hardly a recipe. But Greg came up with (and then I modified) a lovely combination of cereal, fruit and yogurt that I think everyone should enjoy. You start with about 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt, and mix some […]
Though we would have preferred to share a bottle of rosé around cocktail hour, while people watching and nibbling on French snacks, we had less than 24 hours in Philadelphia, so for our visit to Parc, we had to settle […]
Saturday morning breakfast at the farm: ripe, sweet canteloupe and Cassie’s Banana Bread. Related posts: Breakfast Buffet for the Farm Guests Breakfast at The Friendly Toast in Portsmouth Breakfast with Local Strawberries and Fresh Goat Cheese from Rainbeau Ridge Farm […]

After a trip to the Chappaqua Farmers Market, we stopped at Le Jardin du Roi, a nearby French bistro, for a cup of coffee. It turned into a little bit of breakfast, too. Related posts: Breakfast at the Art Cafe […]
I swear they make the best cappuccino on the planet at Art Cafe in Nyack. Even better than Italy. Seriously. Go try it. You’ll see what I mean. Related posts: Lunch at Art Cafe in Nyack More Great Grub at […]
We got these great English muffins mail order from Wolferman’s. We’d cleaned out the freezer and found some ham. Greg cooked these up with his special egg rings he found on sale and Williams-Sonoma eons ago. That’s a breakfast of […]
With the snow falling outside, we decided to go for bacon. And why not? Related posts: Sunday Morning Breakfast at the House Saturday Morning Breakfast: Eggs and Toast Breakfast: Apricots and Blueberrys from the Garden Breakfast Buffet for the Farm […]
After arriving in Boston on Sunday night, we headed to Jessica and Kelly’s apartment. We meant to have dinner — really! — but ended up snacking and having some of their leftovers. In the morning, while Greg slept, I headed […]
My husband, Greg, and I are co-founders of SCF, which chronicles what we eat, drink and grow as we raise our daughter on a tiny plot of land in the Lower Hudson Valley.
