Brunch Recipes

<span class=


{Grapefruit Brulee}

*Cut a grapefruit in half
*Slice a small piece off the bottom (so fruit will sit flat)
*With a serrated knife, cut around the fruit sections for easy eating
*Sprinkle a mixture of brown sugar, regular sugar, and a little bit of cinnamon on top of the grapefruit
>do this step just before putting in the oven. I did this too early my first time around and the
mixture gets too juicy and doesn't broil very well
*Place grapefruits in a glass pan and set under the broiler for about 5-8 minutes or until just brown
*Serve and enjoy!

**One of my goals for 2011 is to learn how to photograph food!


{Grilled Toast with Scrambled Egg & Roasted Vegetables}

*The name pretty much says it all!
*Roast tomatoes, onions, and asparagus (the same as here)
*Scramble eggs with a little bit of milk, salt & pepper
*Add Gruyere cheese to the eggs just before they're done cooking
*Sprinkle bread (of your choice) with a little bit of olive oil
*Grill bread on bbq until just brown
*Assemble "toasts": eggs first, then roast vegetables, place asparagus spears on top

New Boots+Stew=I Love Fall

In an effort to keep this blog fresh, I'm bloggin' about two things I've rarely, if ever, blogged about. Fashion (which I am not!) and food (which I consume often!)

I don't know what kind of weather the rest of the world is experiencing - but around here I think we're having our very first Fall with actual season appropriate weather. RAIN! I may be one of the few that feels this way - but I love the rain.

{Target Boots - $34}


Monday was my first day off so I celebrated with an outing to Pasadena (I know - I have some strange thing with that city. But, I just love it and needed to get out of town for a bit.) Anyways, these boots are my new favorite fall item. I found them at Target for $34! And they have officially received the they-really-are-comfortable stamp of approval. I walked all over Pasadena in them, and worked all day today in them.


I came home still in the Fall mood. So, I made the mother of all Fall dinners - Stew! I had the whole fam over, lit a fire, and had a perfect Fall night at home!



My go-to stew recipe is a Mustard-Herb Beef Stew via here.
