Fabulous and delicious few days spent with friends of many years. Me❤️Agape, Chefs🍷

A delicious Sunday Brunch at my daughter’s. Vegetable-cheese frittata,
peppered bacon, roasted asparagus, sautéed mushroom caps with Sherry, and finished off with a silky, hollandaise, and a good strong cup of coffee. The finale—yellow peach and white nectarine pecan crumble. Yum! 😋Superb. Thank you for a lovely mid morning. 💕

Different take on potato and egg kind of Breakfast this morning. Potato pancake from the freezer. Heated in the frying pan. Plated. Tossed in the butter and heated the tomato, topped it with grated Parm. Plated. Added the egg for a Sunny side up, covered, and steamed. (I need my white of the egg cooked. )
Placed on top of the potato pancake. Perfect balance. Great breakfast. Already had my coffee so I had a glass of tangerine juice. Make it a delicious day! Me❤️Agape, Chefs
Note— used my new Hexclad titanium 7 inch fry pan. All I can say is wow—what a difference.

Tonight was chicken kebobs I had marinated and put in the freezer. Whipped up some Tsaziki to go with. Have a beautiful evening and most of all enjoy your dinner. Me❤️Agape, TransportChefs

Moussaka— a tasty savory eggplant dish. Potatoes, eggplant, light meat sauce, and Crema (Mornay Sauce). Everything cooked beforehand, placed in layers, topped with the Crema. It’s an awesome dish. Pair with a Merlot or Burgundy. I will serve a bottle of Apothic, a red blend with notes of blackberry, cherry, vanilla and mocha. 🍷Enjoy your day.

When my husband and I were first married, one morning I said we were going to have a Greek breakfast. After it was plated, he looked at me and said, “where are the eggs? There’s olives???🤣🤣. Funny memory.
This morning , freshly baked sourdough
(instead of Greek bread), Feta, Kalamata olives, and watermelon and black coffee. Have a beautiful weekend.

Nephews and nieces from out of town so breakfast/ brunch was a must.
Bagels, Sourdough, Cinnamon Puffs with tangerine cream and an Orange Cream Bundt and a pistachio-cream pastry— one plain, one with ganache. Had a dinner too (not shown)with kabobs, pilaf, village salad, fried chicken, macaroni salad, ciabatta rolls and rice puff. Fabulous time.

When you have leftover pancake batter, and you made blueberry pancakes in the morning, make potato pancakes (Latkes) in the evening. Definitely a low cal day🤣.
