Banana-Zucchini Muffins with Blueberries
| November 21, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Breadmaking, Breakfast, Make-ahead |
Back when it was still summer, and we still were struggling with what to do with copious zucchini (not to mention the over-ripe bananas I always seem to have lying around) I came up with this recipe for Banana-Zucchini Muffins. Alas, it is not summer anymore. Where did the time go? Oh, yes, that’s…
Savory Vegetable Pie
| July 27, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Breakfast, Leftovers, Main Course, Recipe, Vegetarian |
The Williams Sonoma catalog: love it or hate it? As a young fatkid in training, I looked forward to the mail days when that glossy, food-filled catalog would show up in the box. Page after page of gourmet candies, prepared mixes, enticing meats, cheeses, colorful accessories, lots of recipes, and the like could leave me…
Mini Vegetable Quiches

Did I mention to you that I like easy recipes? Especially those that give me more valuable time in the morning to sleep, remove necessary thinking from the early AM hours, and give me plenty of reasons NOT to stop in Dunkin Donuts? So, yeah, I’m a crab-ass (not to be confused with grab-ass)…
Piedegrotta Bakery in Baltimore, MD
| April 14, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Breakfast, Dessert, Eating out |
There’s not a lot more to say about this place except…YUM. Actually, there is a lot to say. Located sort of off the beaten path in Baltimore’s Little Italy neighborhood, Piedegrotta is a little bakery where everything – EVERYTHING – is homemade. Which would be understandable if the place put any limits on itself – “hey, let’s…
Trail Mix Granola Bars
| March 10, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Breakfast, Recipe, snacks, Vegetarian |
Kashi Trail Mix granola bars are A’s favorite, ever, period. They’re also over $4/box in chicago – not exactly a price I love. Sure, Target sometimes has them on sale for $2.69, but going to one of the three Targets in the city, on a Saturday no less, is an insanity-inducing test-of-patience. Try navigating a…
Eggs in Purgatory
| March 1, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Breakfast, Leftovers, Main Course, Vegetarian |
This is a traditional italian supper that arose out of necessity, like so many of the best things do, as a way to use up leftover tomato sauce from last night’s dinner. I wouldn’t be surprised if this meat-free entree graced many a Friday dinner table in that Catholic nation. I’d never had it before,…
Baked Potato Fritatta
| February 21, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Breakfast, Make-ahead, MEAT |
I could really get used to fancy breakfast every day, I tell ya… My mom, knowing my food-centric brain, regularly sends me recipes she sees that she thinks I’d like, or like to post up on this here site. This was one of those recipe clippings, one that – as my mom knows –…
“Exotic” Granola
| February 7, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Breakfast, Freezer food, snacks |
Probably an oxymoron, but whatevs. The last iteration of granola I posted was all American – cranberries, oats, cinnamon, such warm and comforting flavors on this side of the world. This time around, I wanted to explore different shores. Whatever that means. Let’s just get on with the deliciousness, shall we?
Apple-Cinnamon Banana Bread
| January 5, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Breadmaking, Breakfast, Freezer food |
We like bananas. We like them a lot, enough so that we always have bunches on hand. Even our dog gets into the banana-frenzy, getting his twice-daily meds via a small piece of banana. What can I say, the dog’s a freak, and we’re all a bunch of monkeys. Wow. Look how quickly I digress…
Claire’s Dad’s Muffins
| December 6, 2010 | Posted by Cheeks under Breadmaking, Breakfast, Recipe |
Yet another weekend has passed us by, and yet another Monday morning finds me reluctant to leave the warm confines of my nighttime oasis to begin another week of work. Good thing that I had a personal day I had to use in the next 3 weeks, because playing hooky never feels better than on…
