We are nearing the end of #BrunchWeek and y’all know I had to bring something a bit indulgent to the brunch table, right? Recently, when I was perusing a new cookbook that is all about America’s Best Breakfasts, I happened on a recipe for a Cannoli French Toast that got my attention. It was based on a South Philly restaurant recipe and, of course, when one thinks of South Philly, well, you know we had to go with the cannoli, right?…

Oatmeal and I haven’t always had a lovely relationship. Sure – I love a good oatmeal cookie now and then and love using it in granola and recipes but oatmeal on its own – notsomuch. Perhaps it was one of those lovely micro packets back when I was a kid that had the flavor what one might think of as cardboard with chewy “fruit” flavor. Perhaps I nuked the heck out of it. Any way I looked at it – if you told me I was having oatmeal for breakfast, I probably would tell you not in this lifetime. As I’ve gotten older, I do keep some “instant” oatmeal at the 9to9 and, if I do decide oatmeal is the way to start the day, I’ll jazz it up with my own spin. My friends have talked about overnight oats and baked oatmeal as the way to make oatmeal nowadays, so I thought I’d give my own attempt a try. The key would be to make a recipe that was so good I’d crave it again. Well folks, we have an oatmeal convert here – this Lemon Blackberry Baked Oatmeal is a tried and true dish that will be made time and time again. …

Breakfast Enchiladas With Homemade Enchilada Sauce #BrunchWeek

May 7, 2015 By Aly 6 Comments

We’re nearing the end of #BrunchWeek but there are still some amazing recipes in the hopper to help you with your weekend brunch plans. Plus – don’t forget – there’s a fabulous giveway – have you entered yet? A number of us will be chatting about all things brunch tonight on twitter starting at 8pm so I hope you can join us. Bring a cocktail and join us for some fab convo.

Today’s brunch recipe is one that I absolutely love. When I have tortillas around, sometimes I’ll whip up breakfast enchiladas on the weekend or for those nights when I want breakfast for dinner. Now – when I first started cooking, I would use enchilada sauce in a can but a couple years ago, I made some turkey and cheese enchiladas with a homemade enchilada sauce that changed my outlook forever. More than likely, everything you need is in your pantry already. The secret ingredient – a little bit of unsweetened cocoa powder simmered in the sauce which adds a whole new dimension of flavor taking this dish from ordinary to extraordinary. After making the sauce, you can brown some of your favorite sausage (I use mild Italian sausage), add some softly scrambled eggs and a combo of Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheeses and you have a breakfast dish that will have everyone singing your praises.

These Breakfast Enchiladas are perfect for brunch this weekend. The homemade enchilada sauce – that needs to be in your repertoire permanently for whenever you have an enchilada craving….
