Chanterelle + Caramelized Onion Breakfast Tarts

Here a bit using the of bounty from my weekend in Maine: Chanterelle and Caramelized Onion Breakfast Tarts with the chanterelles that I foraged in the woods myself. Let me start with this disclaimer: If you do not know your wild mushrooms, please don’t go foraging; just buy them in the shops. Even if you know your mushrooms, please be exceptionally careful. I have been “mushroom hunting” since I was a toddler with my family … it’s a German thing.

Strawberry Vanilla Bean + Wild Flower Honey Jam

As is tradition in my little world, I went strawberry picking over the weekend, and what comes after strawberry pickin’? Jam makin’! Every year, I try to make something a little different, and this year, I used a little bit of honey. It’s just a little bit of a taste of floral, but nevertheless adds something nice.

Old Fashioned Oatmeal Rhubarb Bars

Well, yes, it’s been nearly two weeks since I posted anything. Let’s just say that lots of things are wrong, I am feeling a lot of complex feelings and while I am have been baking and cooking, it’s been a lot of “just the usual” things, without much fanfare.

But I had promised another rhubarb recipe, so here we have some Old Fashioned Oatmeal Rhubarb Bars. Rustic and simple, these are great for a dessert at a potluck picnic. Not too sweet.

Baked Blueberry Sour Cream Doughnuts

When I think of purple foods, the first thing that comes to mind are blueberries. There are, of course, other purple foods — plums, potatoes, cabbage even artichokes, eggplant and asparagus — but the easiest for me is blueberries as I have a whole bunch frozen in my fridge plus the jar of jam that I made last year. The color came out very dark but the glaze was perfectly blueberry-esque.

Open-faced Tomato + Fried Egg Sandwich with Hollandaise

For those of you who have ever gone to breakfast with me, then you will know that I loooooove Eggs Benedict, so this is a little bit of a riff on those: Open-faced Tomato + Fried Egg Sandwich with Hollandaise. No english muffins, instead a piece of Anadama Bread; yellow tomatoes instead of Canadian bacon: a fried egg instead of a poached one. Either way, hit the spot this morning half-way through the week.
