Vegetarian Breakfast Burritos with Potato Lentil Fritters

May 9, 2020 No Comments

I know these Vegetarian Breakfast Burritos in no way resemble high-tea-fare, and yet I am putting them forward as a potential Mother’s Day brunch idea. I know, I’m so controversial. I’ve always found the difference between “Mother’s Day Food” and “Father’s Day Food” to be out-and-out hilarious. Only mothers could possibly enjoy the likes of lemon curd, smoked salmon, and peeled asparagus spears. And fathers? Well, that meal had better involve beer, pretzels, and a rack of ribs. How else would you know it was for dad?

Margarita Meringue Pound Cake with Tequila Lime Curd

Cinco de Mayo is upon us and very few of us can leave our homes. The only margaritas available to us are the ones we make ourselves and takeout tacos are a poor substitute for fresh. But I will soldier on and mark the day with this Margarita Meringue Pound Cake with Tequila Lime Curd. I know, it’s incredibly noble of me to eat pound cake in such desperate times. I am frequently lauded for my martyr-like tendencies.

Kale Caesar Salad with Marinated White Beans

Kale is a polarizing green. Some despise it with every fiber of their being while others are almost evangelical in their enthusiasm for the plant. I am somewhere in between. I think there are a lot of leafy hearty greens that deserve our attention, so I don’t buy into the whole “kale is the ultimate fuel” mentality. Nor do I dismiss it as a fibrous, inedible mess. Kale, like most foods, has its time and its place. And today its place is in my Kale Caesar Salad with Marinated White Beans.

Sausage Rapini Skillet Pizza with Focaccia Crust

Jump to Recipe

My house has been converted into a pub. It’s also assumed the role of a taco stand, transformed itself into a noodle bar, and delivered its best impression of a high-end bistro. And just this past week it did its very best to convince me it was a pizzeria and although I’m not particularly gullible, I almost believed it. That probably had less to do with the candlelight and more to do with this Sausage Rapini Skillet Pizza. This pizza was so decadent that I legitimately felt like I’d had a night out after I ate it. The only difference was I didn’t require an Uber in order to crash land on my bed. Yet another weird quarantine perk.
