What To Make For A Special Thanksgiving Breakfast

Remember those holiday mornings when you woke up to the smell of something good – something extra special you didn’t get all year through?

I remember running downstairs to a plate full of ooey gooey cinnamon rolls, with frosting dripping slowly down the sides. We’d grab a plate full of goodness and head into the living room to watch the Macy’s parade on television. We’d sit there snuggled up under our blankets, and head back for seconds. Okay, and sometimes thirds.

Traditions are hard to break. Which is why I’ve carried that over to my own family.

When my daughter was little, she would always be up to help me. She loved choosing what to make, helping me get all the ingredients ready, and stirring, kneading and baking what ever goodness we decided upon.

Today things are a bit different. If you have a teenager, you know that unless you are willing to have breakfast sometime in the early afternoon, you’re on your own when it comes to whipping up a special treat.

So I sat down about a week before hand to come up with my Thanksgiving day menu. And to start off the day, I turned to my favorite vegetarian cookbook – Herbivoracious for an idea.

Caramelized Pear and Ginger Scones

Michael promised these were his own special favorites – the thing his kids most request when they have guests spend the night. So we gave it a try.

Cooking the pears in cinnamon and ginger.

Roll them up and cut out scone shapes.

Place them on a pan and bake them.

Ohhh, the final product was amazing. Enough to get a 17 year old out of bed…

    Where does this guy get his statistics? China’s rate of Osteoporosis is the same as the US, Indonesia is hihegr. And what is he talking about when he says Chinese women nursing five babies? China has population control measures that do not allow five babies. What a joke. Granted, he makes many good points about the dangers of fat and protein, but share some true statistics. Likewise, keep it scientific. And it has been recently concluded that margin is much more dangerous than butter.

“What is it with females and their chocolate?” Andrew says this every time I make my way into the kitchen looking for something sweet. I’m not a big sweets person. And after reducing my sugar intake substantially over the years, it’s more difficult than ever for me to eat prepackaged desserts. Sure, I’ll have gelato […]

White Bean and Spinach Vegetable Wraps

I love summer. Summer means playing outside, long hikes, days at the beach, summer concerts and outdoor plays. Because we’re outside more than we are in, I look for a variety of recipes that are quick to make and even easier to throw in our cooler and be ready for a meal anywhere we choose […]

This past weekend, the heat raged on. Hitting our tenth consecutive day above 90 degrees, I knew the nightly dinner routine would NOT include turning on the oven. Before I made the switch to a vegetarian diet, we would visit PF Changs every couple of months when I got a craving for their Shrimp with […]
