Upma (savory semolina porridge)
A typical American breakfast consist of eggs, potatoes, sausage, pancakes, or toast. In India there is no such thing as a typical breakfast, what people eat in the morning differs from one region to another.

Spinach and onion Quiche (No cream added!)
Spinach is one of my favorite greens to eat, it always has been since I was a kid. My husband absolutely despises spinach and he finds me to be really strange for loving it. I love spinach in my salads, I also enjoy sautéing it with garlic and olive oil, or cooking it with Indian cheese. My other absolute favorite but slightly indulgent way of consuming this healthy green is in a quiche. The temperatures have dropped in Dallas these last couple of weeks, so I turned my daily craving for ...
Caramalized apple French toast
So far, I’ve shared quite a few savory egg recipes that are perfect for breakfast and brunch such as the frittata, scrambled eggs, and eggs in purgatory, but I have yet to share any sweet breakfast items.

Eggs poached in fiery tomato sauce (eggs in purgatory)
Weekends are all about recuperating and de-stressing from the hectic week. The best way I know how to do that is by sleeping in, lounging, and brunching.

I make it a point to brunch out at least every other weekend. First, I take my time scouting places for the best brunch spot, I then check their menu online and call to ...
Soft scrambled eggs with green onion & chili
Scrambled eggs are usually served up plain with a bit of salt and pepper, delicious but boring. I like to kick up the flavor of usual favorites from time to time. I love plain scrambled eggs if cooked correctly, but sometimes it is nice to jazz things up. Also, I have mentioned this in my delicious veggie frittata post that my husband loves eggs; so, I cook them a lot and I am always coming up with new ways to make eggs delicious. I was recently in one of those jazzy moods. Simply ...
Veggie filled frittata
My husband loves eggs. Eggs could be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and it is not an issue. It is embarrassing to tell people how many cartons of eggs we go through in a week. A more economical thing for us to do would be to get some chickens. But not sure how our dog would feel about having chickens in her backyard and we would require a lot of chickens to keep up with our demand. The husband is not too fond of vegetables. So, my challenge when cooking is how to ...
