Happy Hour: A Breakfast Post

Oct 23, 2020

As I mentioned on Instagram last week, I’m moderating my consumption of alcohol right now.  It’s a tumultuous time, and it’s too easy to treat a nightly cocktail or two like a routine needed to wind down at the end of a stressful day.  So today, I thought I would post one of my favorite breakfast recipes.

Saturday morning breakfast/brunch is one of my favorite things.  That’s why I have an entire Pinterest board dedicated to breakfast foods and baked breads.  And this croissant French toast bake from Half Baked Harvest is worth your time.

If you’re expecting company or just want to spruce up your weekend mornings, you can make this entire dish in advance and just put it in the oven when you’re ready.  The ingredients list and process are uncomplicated, so even kids could make it.

I used 3/4 of the amount of fruit preserves the recipe called for and very little powdered sugar because I didn’t want it to be too sweet.  So feel free to play with the recipe a bit.

You can also adapt the recipe into a quiche like dish.  I was going to make this one weekend, but our house guests didn’t like sweets.  I already had the day-old croissants, so I mixed up a quick bacon-quiche egg mixture and poured it all over them.  This recipe from the Candid Appetite is similar.

I love these PJ Salvage thermals.  It’s going to be so cold in the Rocky Mountain West/PNW this winter that I am going to need them.  Target also has a nice pair that would be perfect for the holidays.  And this Emerson Road star-print set also caught my eye.

Plus-size?  Try these ones from PJ Salvage or these from Tommy Hilfiger.

    I bought those pajamas immediately. I live in Michigan, and winter is coming.

My dark under eye circles have been the bane of my existence since I was 12. Is the cause lack of sleep? Dehydration? Sinus issues? Stress? Who the hell knows. But there they are, every day, telling the world that I am an exhausted working Mom.

Saw It On Social: The Battle of the Spendy Swimsuits

Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Mondays: July 22, 2024

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours. So we packed Sloane up for a visit to a local llama farm, stopped by the pool, went for coffee, etc. Few things are as funny as watching a 23-month old feed carrots to a ravenous rescue […]
