A Bonne Maman Breakfast

May 1, 2017 by kim Leave a Comment

This is my second “official” Mother’s Day and there’s only one thing that I could wish for… a good breakfast! This one’s a savory one with the help of Bonne Maman‘s Raspberry Preserves. It’s easy enough that dad (or even the kids!) can put together for mom for Mother’s Day. 

If you’ve never heard of Bonne Maman, you’re missing out. It’s the only brand that my DH adamantly requests and complains about when we run out. I’ve learned to always keep extra jars on hand so we’re always prepared for the last scoop of preserves. We eat it pretty much every morning on our toast.

Bonne Maman preserves are made from the same time-honored traditional French recipes used to create the brand, their preserves and jellies are made with natural ingredients and feature the finest quality fruit. They are Non-GMO Project Verified, have no high fructose corn syrup, no artificial coloring or no preservatives added.

What does Bonne Maman, even mean, anyway? That’s my favorite part! It actually means “Grandmother” or “Granny,” which is why it’s perfect for all of your Mother’s Day breakfast dishes.

Another thing I love about Bonne Maman is that you don’t have to go out of your way to find the brand. I buy my stash from Target, but they also have it at Ralph’s, Whole Foods, etc. There are no extra grocery stops for me in order to pick a jar. 

As for the recipe itself, I’m a sucker for a grilled panini. Any time I’m out of ideas or too tired to cook, I’ll bust out the trusty panini maker and put the ingredients together. The raspberry preserves balance out the brie while the bacon gives it a crunch. It’s all of your breakfast needs in one. 

The jars are simple and unique. It looks as though you made the preserves at home from items in your pantry (you probably could, too!). There’s nothing foreign in this jar– just good, wholesome, and natural ingredients.

For more information and ideas on what you could do with these preserves, be sure to check out their website, Instagram, and Pinterest.

Mini Blueberry German Pancakes

January 29, 2016 by kim 3 Comments

I’m reposing an older recipe on my blog to help Driscoll’s celebrate National Blueberry Pancake Day (yesterday, January 28th). Besides, who doesn’t like breakfast recipes?

Not only that, but blueberries are great for you! They’re “high in antioxidants, are known to improve memory function and can reduce the effects of aging. Try topping your cereal with fresh blueberries for a heart-healthy breakfast.”

You can find out more about Driscoll’s berries and where they grow here.

My pregnant self can’t seem to get enough of breakfast lately. I’ve been eating waffles for lunch, yogurt parfaits for dinner (topped with tons of berries!), and snacking on scrambled eggs in between meals. Breakfast is just that good.

I’m still in awe of this recipe. How can such a liquid-y batter rise to something so beautiful? I don’t question it, I just accept it. Baking is a beautiful thing. I miss being in the kitchen and using the oven so often! I’m just shy of 38 weeks pregnant right now and my favorite spot has got to be my bed (or roaming the aisles of Target).

Our little one can be here any day now! Isn’t that crazy?! While we play the waiting game, I’ll keep eating breakfast foods with berries for the next couple of weeks.

Again, this recipe is extremely simple. The ingredients are all probably in your pantry already and you definitely do not need a mixer at all. Your hand and whisk are the best tools in this recipe!

Some notes from the first time I made this recipe:

The recipe makes a lot so if you’re only feeding yourself, there’s no need to make the entire recipe. I cut the recipe in to 1/3 and made that. It was still plenty for my DH and I.

I also got a little impatient waiting for the sauce to thicken so I added more corn starch, but it wasn’t necessary. If I would have used less, the syrup would have been clearer (see how it’s just a little foggy?). Don’t make the same mistake I did! Be patient with your syrup thickening.

Yogurt Blueberry and Banana Bread

June 22, 2015 by kim Leave a Comment

Man, I love Ikea. I went today to get some outside furniture for our balcony upstairs. Nothing special, just two chairs so we can sit outside as we please.

Ikea is NOT the place to go by yourself. Always bring some muscle when you go, even when you’re not planning on buying anything because you will walk out with something! I hate that they don’t let you bring the cart out to your car. You have to leave it with the guy working, pull you car up, and then load it yourself.

IMG_7499

Also, always make sure that the stuff you buy actually fits in your car. It’s easy to get overwhelmed and buy a dresser that comes in a flat wide box. You see the box and think, “Of course that’ll fit in my car!” When the time comes for you to pull your car up, you start second guessing yourself.

My DH and I have totally done that before. We ended up having to unbox the table or shelf and putting the pieces in one by one. Ten more minutes of Tetris and we’ve fit everything into his hatchback. Hoorah!IMG_7500

Anyhow, this recipe came about when I was trying to empty my refrigerator, but I wasn’t crazy about it. Despite the yogurt in the batter, the bread still came out a little chewy. Perhaps I over mixed it? It also wasn’t the prettiest thing. Better luck next time!
