Breakfast Club






Here's the big question, why don't we have breakfast delivery? Forget about pizza, I want eggs benedict. I think I could make a killing if I got a little meals on wheels truck to serve up fresh weekend brunch to your doorstep. Am I right? Now that's breakfast in bed. Since the new addition of our puppy pal our brunches have been on the slim side but here are some tasty photo treats from this month's Breakfast Club. I also thought I would share a delicious muffin recipe which I made a few weeks ago and served with apricot jelly. Mmmm...


Banana Macadamia Nut Muffins
--
1 1/2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 1/4 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 large)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup unsalted macadamia nuts, toasted, chopped

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease twelve muffin cups. Sift first 4 ingredients into large bowl. Combine bananas, sugars, butter, milk and egg in a bowl. Mix into dry ingredients. Fold in half of nuts. Divide batter among prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle tops of muffins with remaining macadamia nuts. Bake until muffins are golden brown (about 25 minutes). From Bon Appétit magazine.

I love that you have a breakfast club. Breakfast is the best meal of the day. Would you mind giving me a few more details? Is it just an informal thing?

Sure thing Melanie! Basically my boyfriend and I love love love breakfast and I love to shoot photos so I've married the two. It's my own Breakfast Club.

Each weekend when we are not rushing off to work, we take the time to make each other something new. We try all sorts of fun recipes and before it's devoured, I take a snap shot of our "brunch masterpiece" to remember the super deliciousness. Pretty simple. Pretty tasty.
