    • French Toast with Cinnamon Roasted Pecans and Raspberries

      Posted at 9:50 am by NativeNM, on January 5, 2018

      Early last December Joe and I visited Panama City Beach, FL for a short getaway.  We thought a visit to the Sunshine State before Christmas would be a great time to get away without all the crowds and have the beach to ourselves.  We were prepared for cooler weather but determined to enjoy the sunshine and white sandy beaches.  Little did we know Mother Nature had other ideas.  It was unusually cold and rained the entire time we were there.  We rented a little condo on the beach where you walk off your deck straight onto the beautiful white sand.  It would have been paradise had the wind not been so blustery with cold rain coming off the ocean.  Mostly we just looked out the window because it was just too cold to venture out.  We expected mid 50’s and got 30 and 40 degree weather, brrrr.  It wasn’t a total loss, we went out to the movies and found a couple museums to wander around.  We decided we would splurge for a big breakfast, skip lunch and find some good seafood to eat for dinner.  My favorite breakfast was from Andy’s Flour Power Cafe and Bakery.  I had the french toast plate with thick slices of french toast topped with candied pecans and fresh strawberries.  I loved every bite and vowed to recreate it one day.  This is my version of the Flour Power French Toast!

    • Rustic Summer Pie

      Posted at 9:29 am by NativeNM, on September 1, 2017

      Every year I look forward to the fruits of summer.  It’s my favorite time of year and makes me feel like celebrating with a pie.  I found this recipe on Pinterest, created by “Simple as That” and it looked amazing.  I was intrigued with the almond crust, I had not tried to make a crust with almonds before.  It was really really good.  I was also fortunate to find some sweet and flavorful fruit to work with, adding sliced peaches and plums along with dark cherries, blackberries and raspberries.  The crust tasted slightly like a pecan sandy cookie and complemented the sweet fruit filling.  You can’t go wrong with this pie, try any fruit combination you wish.  And don’t worry about the imperfections, it is rustic after all!

    • Dutch Baby Pancake with Buttermilk Syrup

      Posted at 11:17 am by NativeNM, on May 9, 2015

      Dutch-Baby-Pancake-21

      With Mother’s Day just around the corner it’s the perfect occasion to make Dutch Baby pancakes.  These puffy pancakes, sometimes referred to as German pancakes are traditionally served with melted butter, lemon juice and powdered sugar.  I opted for raspberries and a buttermilk syrup that sounded like the perfect touch to sweeten my pancake which has very little sugar. When it comes out of the oven it is puffed up over the lip of you skillet as if it could float away at any moment.  When it eventually deflates, drizzle some melted butter over the top and listen as it virtually sizzles. Then top it with your choice of lemon juice or raspberries and a sprinkle of powdered sugar.  Some like maple syrup over top but I found the buttermilk syrup to be the perfect touch.  The dutch baby pancake has the slight taste and texture of custard and a drizzle of buttermilk syrup made me think of my Mom’s buttermilk pie, only sweeter.  So many times when I think of food it brings me back to my Mom who inspired me to make meals special and create memories. Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mom’s who make each and every day special!

    • Crumb Cake with Berries and Cream Cheese

      Posted at 8:58 am by NativeNM, on June 26, 2012

      It’s berry season!  For a couple weeks now the berries have been abundant and at a bargain.  I always buy more than I need and put up several packages in the freezer for later.  I’ve been craving a berry filled crumb cake to start my morning with that first cup of coffee.  This cake turned out so good with it’s cream cheese and berry filling and topped with a streusel crumb topping.  The only downside was that the topping virtually crumbled at every slice.  I’m still picking up crumbs!
