Leftover Mashed Potato Pancakes

This is my recipe for potato pancakes using some leftover Garlic and Herb Mashed Potatoes.  They are great for breakfast or brunch the next day and require very little effort!  Here's how to make them:

Banana Bread French Toast

After making a loaf of Gam's Banana Bread, I really wanted to use it to make some french toast.  This is a really easy recipe and great for brunch!  You may need a nap afterwards though.

Gam's Banana Bread

My grandmother, Gam, left me her recipe box and it is full of great recipes that I want to start recreating.  I want to start making some of her basic recipes, such as this banana bread recipe, and turn them into different things.  With this banana bread, I made Banana Bread French Toast! Gam's recipes are very simple, and here on my blog I like to be very detailed with instructions, so I will be writing a little more than she has written.  Here is her recipe:

Potato and Herb Frittata

Another frittata!  This one is different from my breakfast frittata I posted a few weeks ago.  It is very similar but has completely different flavors.  I love frittatas because they are so versatile.  My parents were in town so of course I wanted to make them a nice breakfast before they left!  Here's how to make it:

Poaching Eggs

Poaching eggs is easier than you think.  It really isn't that hard.  All you have to do is make sure you have your water at the right temperature and time it right.  185 degrees and 5 minutes. That's it!  I love eggs, I'm kind of going through an egg phase right now!  There are so many ways to cook eggs, it just never ends.  Eggs are an easy way to add protein and a ton of flavor to any meal.  This is my go-to method for poaching eggs. 

Eggs Benedict with Cajun Hollandaise

We had such a busy weekend!  Moving is rough, especially when you're moving to a third floor apartment. All day Friday I moved boxes and more boxes, 3 car loads. Saturday my family came and they helped me move all of my furniture. It was hard work but I'll take family time any way I can get it!  My sister and her husband spent the night Saturday and on Sunday I wanted to make a nice brunch. This is what I came up with... Eggs Benedict with Cajun Hollandaise.  There are no step by step pictures for this one since I was so busy moving all weekend. Sorry!
