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.

Well all of that bacon, butter, ice cream and deep frying has gone to my waist. Time to start eating healthier. Well, at least once a week. Also, not too healthy as I need to have my daily dose of bacon. But, here is the start.
Bacon Quinoa with a Poached Egg
Quinoa sounds like (key-new-a) is a grain-like crop that is full of protein, contains essential amino acids and is also gluten free. Unlike cereals like wheat or rice, quinoa is a edible seed from chenopod which is a close relative of the tumbleweed. Sounds gross, I know, but this stuff is good for you. For being a complete protein source it tastes really good. Although, that maybe because I started with bacon fat, but anyways it goes great with bacon. It has a texture similar to couscous and can be used an alternative for couscous or rice.

Whenever I have a ton of left overs and I want to clear out the fridge I try to find something new and exciting to try. I love eggs and they go with almost any flavor. You can make them sweet in desserts or savory in a quiche. So I wanted to use eggs and the asparagus, tomatoes, and onions that I had left over from this last weekends barbecue. The only thing that came to mind was a frittata.
Layered with onions, asparagus and tomatoes this was a great dish.
It is amazing how great of a dish you can make just using simple ingredients.

With the upcoming holiday weekend I wanted to post about what to do this weekend in Washington, DC. But after realizing that it is Easter weekend, there is only one thing came to mind. Sunday Brunch!!! and… Mimosas.
Sunday Brunch is a ritual for a lot of people, but where to go is always a chore. I know that every single restaurant these days has brunch and it is hard to decide where to go. I wanted to write up a list of great places that I have gone for brunch, to make your lives easier. Plus, a lot of these places are not that well known and will allow you to call today for reservations.
