Bob's Crispy Salami Eggs

My dad is the king of breakfast.

When I recently mentioned his legendary Salami and Eggs to a friend,

 I was shocked that she had never heard of the combination.

For our family, its a classic dish from a classy guy!

It is just 3 simple ingredients, 

(4 if you include butter in the pan)

farm fresh eggs, salami and basil...

The combination of fluffy, buttery eggs, crisp savory salami and fresh basil

 is as irresistible as Bob!

Bob's Crispy Salami Eggs

serves 2

4 eggs

1 Tablespoon butter

6-8 slices of salami cut into thin strips

Fry salami strips in a small pan over medium heat until crispy. Be careful as they tend to crisp up quickly.  Remove from pan and drain on a paper towel.  In a small bowl whisk the eggs and add salt and pepper.  In the same pan as you fried the salami, add butter and melt it slowly on low heat until frothy.  Pour in eggs and stir eggs with a rubber spatula until cooked.  Transfer to 2 plates, top with salami and garnish with basil. 

Coconut Bran Muffins with Siggi's Skyr "Frosting"

Cupcakes for breakfast?

Well, sort of...

How about a slightly healthier version of

Coconut Bran Muffin, iced with Banana Cinnamon Skyr yogurt?

A yummy, protein powered punch to start your day...

I altered my favorite Blueberry Bran Muffin recipe slightly,
 to appease my kids who are not blueberry fans.

I love them because they are simple 

but get golden brown on the outside but stay so moist on the inside.

I love the flavor and texture the coconut adds too...

Topping them with the tangy, delicious Siggi's Banana Cinnamon Skyr, 

is such a delicious creamy surprise!

Brussels Sprout Hash topped with Sunny-side up Eggs

Brussels sprouts for breakfast?

Yes and they are amazing!

My favorite way to serve this little green autumn veggie, 

is to saute them with a touch of butter and toss with crispy bacon or pancetta.

It's fabulous as a warm side dish or room temperature as a salad,

but topped with a cheery fried egg...

it's a hash.

Simple ingredients...

cooked into a vibrant, savory mixture...

that turns into a breakfast that'll make you smile.

Just wait until you bite into the egg and the yoke comes to life, 

the creamy, nutty, salty combination is amazing.

(my daughter, however prefers poached egg 

and my son, a "well done" egg as their toppers and they are just as good)

Brussels Sprout Hash
makes 2 large servings

10 ounces brussels sprouts, halved (about  12- 15 sprouts)
6 ounces pancetta (I buy mine already cut into tiny cubes) or bacon crumbled
2 tablespoons butter

In a large saute pan, cook pancetta until crisp.  Drain on a plate lined with paper towels and set aside. In the same pan (it is up to you if you leave the oil from the pancetta in it or not!) add butter and once it melts over medium heat, add brussels sprouts and saute until slightly golden and soft, about 8 to 10 minutes.  Add cooked pancetta to pan and gently mix until combined.  Transfer to plates and top with eggs of your preference.

Blueberry Basil Bellinis for Brunch

I created my Sweet'N Low Blueberry Basil Bellinis as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars.  

All content is my own. #donthesitaste

What is is about Brunch?  It just makes me happy.
No one has to get up early, no one seems to be in a rush
and everyone is in a good mood

I love to make it festively bright and cheerful, 

and I think a signature drink is a must.

The key to my Blueberry Basil Bellinis is the puree...

It's bright, fruity, fresh and a touch of
Sweet'N Low keeps the calories low and the taste amazing...
Because it is a zero calorie sweetener, I love to use it in all my drink recipes.

Topped with Prosecco,
 it is happiness in a glass...

Any cheerful drink needs fun food to accompany it.

I am singing serving up, 

pancake stacks that are begging for you to 

"Pour some Syrup" on them...

and "cheeky song topped" quiches
that want you to like them as much as they like you...

Blueberry Basil Bellinis

1 cup blueberries

3 to 4 chopped basil leaves
