Breakfast - What's in Your Gullet?

Had some really chilly mornings, and wanted some biscuits to put on a little blubber to keep warm. Since biscuits are basically death bombs of fat and carbohydrates and I had a bag of corn bran on the counter, I threw some bran in to make things a little healthier. The biscuits looked like they were coloring up really fast in the oven. What was really happening was they were turning orange. (Which was odd, since the corn bran started out beige.) And they tasted a lot like cornbread with a nice soft biscuit texture. Pretty dandy with some ham and some maple syrup aged in whisky barrels, tho.

 

2 fried eggs, cheese, bacon, cream cheese, on a cinnamon raisin bagel. Very tasty.

 

Breakfast for dinner tonight.
Eggs bacon toast and grits.

 

The chives are blooming, so time for one of my favorite breakfasts--smoked salmon with cream cheese and chive blossoms. But they will give you the worst breath in the world.

Chive blossoms look great!

Mmmmmm....beagle!

 

Those beagles can be a bit gamey. I prefer rat onna stick.

 

Oh those fryer sized ones are nice!

 

LOL! beagle... sure don't want that for breakfast but your skewer looks tasty Lucretia.

 

Almost sufficient to convert me to a vegetarian. (But not quite.) I'll pass on this offering, though.

 

Been on a biscuit binge lately. First with sausage gravy and eggs:




Then leftover with the remains of the sausage gravy and some mixed berry freezer jam:

 

freeking love biscuits! Looks delish.

 

Got this coffee cake recipe from King Arthur Flour. It's kind of similar to Italian cheesecake in flavor/texture. We've been having some amazing blueberries lately, and this is really good and easy and is going to be a regular breakfast at our house (reading thru the recipe, it seemed to scream for lemon, so it's had a little zest or lemon oil added to it each time.)

 

Looks great!
Blueberry loves a little lemon zest.
Can you send me a slice Lucretia?

 

Lucretia, when you finish your cookbook, please count me in for several copies!

 

Got a present for myself--a mini-donut baking pan. First try wasn't bad, although next batch needs more nutmeg.

 

I'd woof those done in a New York second!
