my own little sunday brunch
Special thanks to Connie from work who sent me the salmon while she works remotely from Alaska. It was (obviously) much appreciated!
cranky breakfast burrito
I just woke up cranky today. Tired, eyes aching and grumpy, I knew bacon was in my near future. I love breakfast more than anything else in the culinary world and a breakfast burrito is near the top of brekkie items I adore. I don’t get fancy here – it’s all about simplicity. Scramble some eggs, mix some salsa with sour cream, spread on a tortilla and fill with said eggs and bacon. Serve with cold-breweed iced coffee and fresh cherries. You’ll feel better, trust me.
peanut butter on toast
Typical weekday breakfast… honey roasted peanut butter is my biggest indulgence so I spread a teeeeny bit on toast to satisfy me. And I could eat yogurt with strawberries and pumpkin seed granola by the wheelbarrow full. Throw in some cold-brewed iced coffee and I’m all set.
a glorious bagel triumph
So Jessica, what do you do on a Saturday afternoon?
Well, I like to sleep in, work out, make some cold-brewed iced coffee, clean, and more importantly, overcome culinary roadblocks like high-altitude baking… which I finally did today!
I’ve been fussing with baking since I moved to Boulder. Breads never come out right, my cupcakes always over or under rise, things take so long to finish, etc. Ive wanted to try making bagels from scratch for months but was too scared to bother to try with altitude shenanigans. So I did some research about high altitude baking, found a good recipe, adjusted where needed (less yeast, more salt, less sugar, more water, less heat, etc), and went for it.
And ohhh snap was it ever a SUCCESS! The high-altitude demon is defeated! And of course I took pictures along the way…
