Crustless Breakfast Pie

Crustless Breakfast Pie by Susan

Some weekend mornings in our household are mad dashes out the door for a sporting event, the farmer’s market, to run errands, shop or get somebody where they need to be.

The house was a beautiful apartment above the famed Place Vendôme.When I got there, I was awed by the formality of the at-least 18-foot ceilings, the highly polished wood floors, the posh furnishings and rugs and chandeliers, and an ornate…

Peach Galette

Peach Galette by Susan

Here is a very easy way with fruit, a rustic galette that is really just a free-form panless pie. Galettes can be savory or sweet, the crust doesn’t have sugar in it, just a little sprinkled on the top. You don’t have to be a master baker to perfect this pastry, and best of all, it keeps beautifully. You can refrigerate any leftovers…

Homemade Granola by Susan

Homemade GranolaMy favorite everyday breakfast is a cup of blueberries, a dollop of Greek yogurt, a drizzle of local honey and a small scoop of granola.
