Quaker Cinnamon Oatmeal Squares and Lion Gold coffee

A home remedy for my too-much-champers-last-night hangover:

Eggs scrambled with lots of hot sauce, cheddar cheese and turkey sausage on whole grain toast. Also, iced coffee and a peach!

Pirates of the Carribean Eggo waffles. My son is currently gaga for anything to do with pirates and went nuts when we saw these in the frozen food section.

With plums and Whole Foods slab bacon - available at the Kentlands location. I hope hope hope the Silver Spring Whole Foods carries the slab bacon, because while driving to Gaithersburg from Rockville for bacon is an annoyance, driving from Takoma Park to Gaithersburg for bacon would be insane.

Note that she doesn't suggest that she won't do it, just that it would be insane to do so. I mean, it IS bacon we're talking about...

I made blackberry muffins with blackberries from the farmers market using this Williams Sonoma recipe. They have a strong lemon flavor from the zest and a crunchy lemony sugar top.

If you ever get the urge to try this recipe, do yourself a favor and DON'T. There's not enough maple syrup in the world to make them palatable.

Cold Vace pizza. With extra garlic.

And you'll get to savor that again and again throughout the day...

My lucky co-workers, as well.

Stew Leonard's corn muffin. Stew Leonard's Iced Cappuccino, which, as far as I'm concerned, is the finest thing to grace a half gallon carton since malted milk balls.

BLT, apple cider, and coffee.

Now that's a breakfast of champions!

Creamy polenta topped with an egg over easy & a pinch of truffle salt. Lots and lots of coffee.

Oatmeal with butter, brown sugar, and a pinch of sea salt. Like a big bowl of salty oatmeal cookie. Good for what ails ya.

I'm having sticker shock here in Vegas. This morning I had a $5 cup of coffee and two chocolate chip cookies I made for the Nats tailgate that I didn't get to because of work. The cookies are good!

Cottage cheese w/ frozen fruit -- strawberries, blueberries, raspberries. Really: this is my all-time favorite hot-hazy-humid breakfast.

salty oat cookie and iced tea

Kenya AA coffee roasted locally and a bowl of steamed rice with a couple of umeboshi (pickled plums) on top.

Salt bagel, no cream cheese. Black coffee. And a handful of broken glass.

From bio on Marcus Samuelsson: Sounds more like Chris Burden, but here's the source.

roasted ear of sweet corn from spring valley (dupont circle farmers market). as i peered into the refrigerator wondering what to have for breakfast, a lone ear of corn caught my eye. i wondered is corn appropriate for breakfast? happily i remembered that grits are a corn product, so i grabbed the ear, shucked it and threw it in the oven.

yum. summer.

Blisteringly hot coffee, and 1/8 of a Central Grocery muffaletta. Thanks Jake!

Aw, Jake, you couldn't send one across the pond?

leftover scalloped potatoes

Two pieces of buttered rye toast and a bowl of Trix. Truly sad! I love breakfast food, and I always intend to get up early and fix myself something hearty and delicious, but sleep generally wins out. Sigh...maybe tomorrow...

leftover steamed broccoli, reheated in the microwave for 15 seconds. homemade potato salad.

Whole wheat English muffins from Trader Joe's slathered with Plugra and German Tannen-Honig from the German Gourmet on Lee Highway. (A couple nights ago I also grilled a few Thüringer from the German Gourmet--it was the first time I have ever had sausages in the US with the taste and texture that they have in Germany. This place is going to be a regular stop for us.)

my breakfast didn't come 'til lunch (Popeye's has a deal here on Tuesdays, 2 pieces of dark meat for $.89, times 2, plus tax = $1.92 for 2 legs and 2 thighs, spicy) but my dog's breakfast was two scrambled fairly tight (as he prefers), three slices of crispy bacon, two pieces buttered toast and about a half cup of left-over champ w/ chewy bacon that my wife made for dinner last night with the idea that it would be another medium to get him the bacon he loves.

(we got a bad diagnosis from the vet so we're spoiling him rotten for what will be a regrettably short time.)

12 1/2 years he got no human food whatsoever, we're making up for it.

Scrambled tight...I like that description. Sorry to hear about your doggie.

This morning: eggs from Truck Patch, scrambled tight, with truffle salt and a lot of fresh pepper. Apple cider (pasteurised) and coffee. Toast. Banana.

Scrambled eggs with caramelized shallots, julienned ham, and cheddar cheese inside a toasted pita.

One of those faux bagels from Panera (cinnamon crunch; it's more like a bun) with an iced venti skim latte from Starbucks.

Sunday's breakfast was homemade cinnamon rolls and bacon. From start to finish, the cinnamon rolls only took an hour to make. The recipe in the latest issue of Fine Cooking.

English muffin; bananna; BBQ chicken thigh (cooked, but not sampled, last night)

Binni, those look FANTASTIC! Way better than the bowl of cereal I had this morning.

That's quick! Do they have yeast in them?

Oatmeal & coffee. And then a couple of bloody marys on the plane home.

No yeast. Just a combo of baking powder and baking soda. If you'd like the recipe, PM me.

Holy crap, I just saw these. Wow, looks delicious. I'd like the recipe too, please

Cinnamon Buns

Dough:
3/4 cup 4% milkfat cottage cheese
1/3 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup sugar
4 Tbs unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour
1 Tbs baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda

Filling:
1 1/2 Tbs unsalted butter, melted
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground all spice
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1 cup pecans, chopped

Glaze:
2/3 cup powdered sugar
2-3 Tbs cold milk
1 tsp vanilla

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a springform pan (or whatever baking dish you're using).

In a food processor, combine cottage cheese, buttermilk, sugar, butter, and vanilla until smooth. Add flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda and pulse until dough clumps together. The dough will be soft. Knead dough on floured surface until smooth. Roll dough into a 12X15 rectangle.

Brush dough with melted butter, leaving a 1/2 inch border along the edges. Combine brown sugar and spices and sprinkle over the buttered area. Sprinkle nuts over sugar mixture.

Starting at the long edge, roll up dough jelly-roll style. Cut the roll into 12 pieces. Set pieces, cut side up, in pan. Bake until golden brown/firm to touch, about 20-28 minutes. Cool in pan for 5 minutes.

Combine glaze ingredients and drizzle glaze over the rolls.

I had crepes with nutella and raspberry jam at L'Enfant.
