I love breakfast.  Probably my favorite meal of the day.  Mostly because it is the only meal where it is cool to eat bacon straight up.  But secondly, because it is almost always served with potatoes.  I love those crazy tubers.  So I decided to whip up some potatoes.  These potatoes are loaded with peppers and onions.  They are almost a breakfast on their own.

Heck, top with an egg and you are good to go.

Breakfast Pizza

I have been experimenting with pizza crusts.  So I have a ton of pizza dough lying around.  You can only have so many pepperoni pizzas before you need to find something different.  So I decided to try my hand at breakfast pizza.  If you have been near a TV at all over the past couple of days you know that it has snowed here in DC.  It has snowed a lot, roughly 27 inches.  I have a front wheel drive car and there is no chance of me getting out of my house for another day at least.  So I had to substitute a few ingredients in my breakfast pizza.  Normally I would use salsa as the base, but since I had none and there was no way of me getting to the market.  However, I did have a can of diced tomatoes.  So I substituted that.  It was still good, but salsa is the best.

The pizza browned nicely and allowed the eggs to finish setting.  The best way to start the morning.

The other day I was reading the December issue of Food and Wine and I came across this recipe and I had to try it.  Roasted tomato sauce and eggs.  So simple yet I had never even thought of trying it.  Although it takes a bit to make it, the tomato sauce can be made ahead of time so that you can make a quick and easy dish.

So I purchased a bunch of canned pumpkin and now I am unsure what to do with it all.  So today I decided to break out the waffle iron and make some pumpkin pancakes.  Pumpkin goes great with breakfast.  Pumpkin pancakes are awesome, and honestly, who doesn’t sneak a slice of pumpkin pie in the morning. So here are some awesome pumpkin waffles.

Have you ever woke up from an afternoon nap and thought, “I would love a waffle”.  I did the other day.  I woke up and totally craved a waffle.  Unfortunately my old roommate Mark, broke my waffle iron a couple of years back.  (Yeah totally called you out on that Mark)  So I decided to go to Target and grab a waffle iron.  They had a few, I chose the cheapest one.  Only $19.95.  Not too shabby, but more on this in the post.   Then I went looking for a great recipe.  I searched my recipe books and found a decent sounding one from the Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook.  I took this as a base and tweaked it for my own personal tastes.

I added a bit of sugar and vanilla to the recipe to give the waffle a little more depth.

You guys always ask me to make the craziest foods.  I am not one to let anyone down.  Today I took bacon to a new level.  I sandwiched it between a Krispy Kreme doughnut.  After creating the monster I was a little scared to eat it.  I built up some courage and took a bite.  It was awesome!!!  It created the perfect sweet and savory bite.  Despite the calories, I would totally eat one of these every morning.  However, for the sake of my stomach, I will limit these to a once a year occasion.

Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day!! Yes, I am getting into the spirit of things. I wanted to make something that relates to Pirates. I could have made some crazy classic pirate food like parrot or something. I could have gone Somalian since they are so into pirates right now. However I went with my favorite Pirates.  Yep the ones that have also been in the news lately. The Pirate Bay Pirates out of Sweden. Yes, those crazy Swedes won the day. So in their honor, I am making Swedish Pancakes. These pancakes have been in my Family as long as I can remember. They are like a sweetened crepe.  Whenever we have a big holiday or the whole family around, my Mom gets up early and makes us all Swedish Pancakes. They take a while to make but they are totally worth it.  Thanks Mom.
