So, What Did You Have for Breakfast?

That's Friday's breakfast. Jim took the day off so we celebrated in style. It's a tester for Isa's Crack of Noon brunch book called Old Fashioned Chelsea Waffles. These are easily the best waffles I've ever had.

Today's breakfast was another tester: Banana Rabanada (Brazilian Fronch Toast). Delicious! This is really high-brow fronch toast, like you'd be thrilled to eat in a fancy pants hotel. Mornings have been really good around here the last couple of days.



Since we're finally getting some more spring-like weather, we also grilled for the first time this year! Seitan Shishkabob with Sugar Snaps and Asian Slaw. That's the kind of dinner that can't be easier or taste any better!

The marinade is (approximately) 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 Tbsp teriyaki sauce (premade- cheater!), 2 Tbsp mirin, 1 Tbsp agave, 1 tsp sriachi, 1 tsp sesame oil and crushed garlic and ginger. Brush it over skewered sugar snaps while you're grilling, too. Yum!

The Asian slaw is just shredded cabbage and carrots dressed with rice wine vinegar, a tiny bit of sugar, a little bit of sesame oil, salt and pepper.


Tonight's dinner: a chicken seitan concoction.
