Easter Brunch Inspiration.

Menu Ideas:

Egg, Mushroom, Bacon Tart: Next up, yummy tarts! Using a tart pan and pie crust or pre-made crusts, fill it up with bacon, feta, mushrooms, and an egg and you’re good to go. (Recipe and photo: Amateur Cook Professional Eater)

Eggs in Chili Clouds: We like to think of this one as a reconstructed egg. You separate the yolks from the whites and whip the whites into chili clouds with parmesan, chili pepper, and any other herbs you like. Return the yolk to the white and bake! (Recipe and photo: Kitchen Tested)

Sweet Potato and Eggs Breakfast Hash: For a more autumnal take on eggs, pair them with  sweet potatoes, applewood smoked bacon, and thyme. (Recipe and photo: Snixy Kitchen)

Book of the Week.

My roomie Kristen gave me this book for my B-day last weekend: The Homesick Texan. This past year I have been learning how to cook via google and lots of practice and experimenting and of course I love some Southern food and miss it so much in NY-- I honestly couldn't think of a more perfect gift! It has everything I grew up eating and after I read the Introduction I know why. The author literally grew up a few hours away from my hometown of Nacogdoches before moving to New York. Anyways, I won’t spoil the introduction, I’ll let you read her story and how her book came about  for yourself.  It definitely hit close to home for me and I can’t wait to experiment in the kitchen with her recipes.  From just browsing through the pages her instructions seem pretty simple and the illustrations are amazing-- I think you will like! And hey if I fail in the kitchen, at least it will look nice on a shelf! Also don't forget to check out her blog... where the book came to life.
