Avocado toast with fried egg and crispy shallots is my take on the simple but genius avocado toast recipe. My version starts with good bread. I suggest sourdough (see my recipe and guide to making your own if you are interested). You want it to hold up to the toppings and not collapse.

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins (Starbucks Copycat)
My daughter likes the pumpkin cream cheese muffins from Starbucks, so I decided to make a homemade version since homemade is usually more fresh and tasty.

German Bacon Onion Pie (Zwiebelkuchen)
I had never had zwiebelkuchen before and I was surprised to find that the crust was a yeast dough, almost like pizza crust, when I was expecting more of a quiche/pie crust.

We had these Turkish scrambled eggs along with some toast for dinner last night and it was just about the easiest meal ever.

Since we have chickens, I never have a shortage of eggs, and this meal wasContinueContinue reading “Menemen – Turkish Style Scrambled Eggs”
