Realizing the sticking power of acorns in any recipe, I now view pancakes through a different prism. Pancakes that always seemed more like “fluff” to me have now become an actual meal. Acorns are a “no-fluff” ingredients to add to almost any baked good. (Read more about foraging for and cooking with acorns.) You can…

Homemade Granola
It’s been years since I’ve made granola, years since I’ve eaten it. Lauren’s post on granola making caught my eye because we had a gallon of oats in the pantry. When I got rained out of a morning of gardening, I knew this was the time, if the time was ever to be. Two questions…
Eggs in Pepper Rings

Steamed Beet Greens and Fried Eggs
Are you looking for something stunningly beautiful, highly nutritious and totally satisfying for breakfast? While many throw away their beet greens and cook just the roots, you will end up buying extra beets just to have enough greens for this dish. If you have a garden, you may plan a longer row of beets.
