Hash Browns

11th May, 2014 By: Cath4 Comments

The hubby and I do love something special on the weekends for breakfast with his preference being waffles, and mine pancakes. But one thing we do agree on is nothing can beat homemade hash browns. This wasn’t the first time we have had a go at hash browns ourselves, with our first incarnation being good, but not quite good enough.

Early last year a video popped up in my YouTube subscription from the wonderful Laura Vitale, who you may remember is the source of the soft pretzel recipe, for her homemade hash browns. We finally got around to making these during my epic weekend of baking apple cake, macarons and cupcakes and needless to say we were not disappointed!

Seed Mixture (ALPS Blend)

13th April, 2014 By: Cathcomment

Way back in 2012, there was a health and wellbeing initiative called the 1 Million Kilo Challenge where Australians were encouraged to sign up and receive meal and exercise plans to collectively shed, you guessed it, one million kilograms.

I signed up to a team with some friends and family with one recipe sticking with me for the years since. It isn’t a crazy, full on recipe, something rather simple with so many uses. In the meal plan they called it the ALPS Blend, but the hubby and I simply call it Seed Mixture and eat it everyday.

Belgian Waffles

Man v. Food has to be one of the shows that I like and hate all at the same time. The hubby on the other hand absolutely loves it and drools with envy for every bite that Adam Richman takes. In one of the episodes of Man v. Food Nation (Season 1, Episode 17 for those of you playing at home), Adam visited a food truck in New York by the name of Wafles and Dinges where they serve traditional Belgian waffles topped with everything under the sun including a pulled pork combination which immediately won the hubby’s heart.

Hence we borrowed my mother-in-law’s waffle maker and for the first time used the mancake recipe for the batter. They were delicious, but a little heavy so the hunt was on for not only a waffle maker for us, but for a traditional Belgian waffles recipe.

Those Aren’t Pancakes… They’re Mancakes!

17th June, 2012 By: Cath

As mentioned in the English Muffin post, Sunday’s are generally a little more exciting on the breakfast front and most of the time we have pancakes.

I spent a long time looking for that perfect pancake recipe and I am pretty happy with the one I settled on. The pancakes are really fluffy and as I now tend to make them the size of the fry pan (mainly out of sheer laziness to make only one pancake instead of multiple), my husband has stopped calling them pancakes and started calling them mancakes.

English Muffins

One sunny Saturday morning the hubby mentioned that he had a craving for Eggs Benedict. On Sunday’s we generally have something a bit more flash than cereal or toast so I said I would make it for him for breakfast the next morning. A few weeks previous, I purchased the Le Cordon Bleu set of 20 The Original Masterclass cookbooks. One of the books was Muffins and in it a recipe for English Muffins. As I couldn’t be bothered going to the supermarket (a whole 10 minutes away), and had all of the ingredients, I decided to try my hand at making a batch.
