Savory Spinach Cauliflower Oatmeal

February 27, 2017 by theeverykitchen@gmail.com 21 Comments

Savory Spinach Cauliflower Oatmeal might be better than sweet oatmeal. Can we agree? Take 15 minutes to whip up this recipe and find out for yourself!

Good morning, friends. What did you eat for breakfast today? Oh yeah, toast with jam? bagel with schmear? Egg McMuffin? an apple? I, my friends, am eating Savory Spinach Cauliflower Oatmeal and I’m not sharing. (I mean, not sharing because there’s no one here to share it with, but if there were, if you were here, I’d probably pretend all my other eating utensils are dirty just so I wouldn’t have to share.)

Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Pancakes

February 9, 2017 by theeverykitchen@gmail.com 4 Comments

It’s after midnight and I’m wondering why I haven’t been able to fall asleep yet when I decide to get up and put my brain to good use. I often do my ~~best~~ strangest creative work when I’m suffering from insomnia. I put the kettle on for a cup of tea and all of a sudden I notice… it says right there on the package… the tea I’ve been binge-drinking all day is caffeinated. But I can’t eat breakfast without tea, so I’m drinking another caffeinated cup and noshing on Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Pancakes.

Sun-Dried Tomato and Olive Ricotta Scones

You know what would be great? If Sun-Dried Tomato and Olive Ricotta Scones were in a swimming pool. A scone pool! Like when you ate fast food as a kid and begged, “Mom, please let’s go inside so I can play just for a minute all I really wanna do is jump into that big pool of balls and almost drown with the rush of it.” And now, all I want to do is nearly drown in the rush of jumping into a big pool of Sun-Dried Tomato & Olive Ricotta Scones. I wouldn’t think twice about this, friends.

Matcha Ginger Oat Muffins

I MADE FOOD! I. Made. Food. And it feels so good. Like, imagine all the feel-good feels, multiply by 198, double it, then make Matcha Ginger Oat Muffins and you’ll know what I’m talkin’ about.

The Every Kitchen hasn’t just been on hiatus. I have been on hiatus from my kitchen. Restauranting is fun friends, especially when we’re talking Chicago restauranting, but I like a home cooked something or other every once in a while. Salads don’t count. Neither does microwaving a Dr. Praeger’s veggie patty. Nor does taking a pint of ice cream out of the freezer, letting it get all melty, and then spoon-slurping it up. Nope. Does. Not. Count.

Sunny Pumpkin Cherry Bars

These were originally named Chewy Pumpkin Cherry Breakfast Bars, but my roommate really wanted to name them Sunny Chewies, so we compromised with Sunny Pumpkin Cherry Bars. Sunny Chewies is less of a mouthful, so if you want to call them Sunny Chewies, that’s fine by me.

The thing is – when you’re naming a recipe that you created, you want to make sure the title relays all the goodstuffs in there. In this case, that includes:

Can I choose a favorite month of 2015 NOW, or do I have to wait until the last day of December?

What the heck. I’m gonna choose one now and I choose November. I’m 1% hesitant because December is starting to look promising and also because February was a pretty darn good month too. So yeah, I’m gonna go ahead and choose November.
