Leftovers from these roasted potatoes, fennel, carrots and onions became hash browns for brunch on Sunday. Just added some green onions and red pepper and browned in butter! Served with sunny side up eggs and fresh Valencia orange juice squeezed by hand (literally, no juicer of any kind here) by my husband! Bought the Valencia’s…

Another Day, Another Rental…But Still Cooking!
Last week we moved out of the cute little rental apartment we have been in for the past six and a half weeks. When we moved in there from the hotel we knew we would be moving out in mid- September because of a previous booking. We were fortunate to have found it,…
Breakfast At Sally Loo’s
A few days ago, we awoke to another remarkable day here in San Luis Obispo. We still haven’t gotten used to the fact that since we arrived back on July 5 we have encountered sun drenched days accented with baby blue skies and gentle breezes daily. We took a walk from our rental to the…
Scramblin’ Eggs in a Kitchen Again!
Last Tuesday morning I woke up a happy girl! As you know I have been kvetching (translation for those who need it…incessant complaining), about staying in the hotel for a month without access to a kitchen. A few weeks ago my frustration led me to search online for a small vacation rental since our house…
Sunday Brunch
As we are approaching our move to San Luis Obispo at the end of June we added another last to our long list of memories of our home that we will take with us. My kitchen island (and before the remodel, penninsula) has been home to too many Sunday Brunches to count over these past…
The Best Coffee Cake. Ever.
I wake up early every day, whether I need to or not. That’s just my body clock. But I can’t really start the day until I’ve had my second cup of coffee. I love my coffee, and have since I began drinking it in college. (I’m so thrilled that the recent health pundits have been…
Sufganiyot (Hanukkah Jelly Doughnuts)
It is traditional during the eight days of Hanukkah to eat foods fried in oil commemorating the miracle of the oil. The story goes… After Antiochus’s forces had been defeated and driven from the Temple, the Maccabees discovered that most of the ritual oil had been destroyed. A single container was still sealed by the…
Easy Sticky Buns
Sticky Buns! They’re not something you can eat every day, but occasionally you have to find a justifiable reason to bake them. Having invited some guests for brunch on the patio last Sunday seemed reason enough for me. Growing up in the Pennsylvania Dutch area I was first introduced to sticky buns at an early…
Mom’s Sour Cream Coffee Cake
Mother’s Day began for me on Friday when my husband thoughtfully brought home some gorgeous orange tulips. I have become partial to orange flowers lately, and tulips are one of my favorites. He figured I might as well enjoy them for the whole weekend, and he figured right. Then on Saturday I received a floral…
Cinnamon Buns
I haven’t made cinnamon buns in a very long time. When I was first married I will admit to thinking Pillsbury’s Poppin’ Fresh Cinnamon Rolls in that little tube sold from the freezer case at the grocery store were pretty darn good. After some years had gone by, and my baking skills advanced to a…
