Breakfast/Brunch

Hey Everyone! Here’s a recipe for Fresh Strawberry Corn Muffins! (Heh Heh) (Okay…. we can address the elephant in the room….) It’s been nearly 2 years since I updated The Gourmet Gourmand. 2 years. But guess what?! Dave and I had a baby. That’s right folks. You heard me. I…

This Three Cheese Asparagus Quiche is bound to get your spring-time taste buds watering! I don’t know about you, but I have a (possibly) unhealthy obsession with all things egg-y and buttery.  Hence quiche is something that I love, love, love to make. Add in some delicious spring asparagus, some chives, and…

Two brunch recipes in 1 week???  I know, I know.  But really what you’re getting to see is a photo-documentation of my breakfast on Sunday.  It was truly glorious. And, in my humble opinion, these Cornmeal Waffles with Bourbon Peaches need to make it onto your next brunch table as…

I’m really excited about this post today!  My friend and fellow blogger Phi from SweetPhi.com just published (and by just I mean just- it hasn’t even hit the shelves yet- it is released tomorrow!) a new cookbook called Fast and Easy Five Ingredient Recipes: A Cookbook for Busy People.  And lucky me- I received a preview…

We just got back from a glorious weekend in North Carolina for my childhood friend Emily’s wedding.  (Congratulations Emily and Andy!  I’m so happy for you guys and we LOVED your wedding!) While San Diego is a wonderful place and beautiful in its own desert-on-the-ocean way, I have to say that…

So now that we have our own yogurt that we’ve created at home, the natural extension of this is to put it on a waffle. (Because, obviously.)Also I just purchased a new waffle maker and I’m so in-freaking-love with it that I may have taken it to my place of…

To make or not to make yogurt at home?   My vote = to make! (But then again, I’m an avid DIY-er who has been known to attempt ambitious projects with minimal knowledge or skill).   ((BUT! Then again, if you are reading my blog, chances are we have this…

Yes we’re on the topic of ramps again.   I apologize for being a weird esoteric ingredient promoter.  But what can I say?  I’m living up to my snobby namesake.  (The Gourmet Gourmand strikes again). But, I did promise you a ramps recipe in my ramps info post, and I intend…

Consider this my 2016 Easterly contribution to the blogosphere.  But seriously guys.  Can we just pause to revel in all that is carroty and cakey? I used to think I hated carrot cake, and then I realized that I just hate nuts in baked goods. Don’t get me wrong, there’s…
