I love entertaining with breakfast casseroles. You assemble them the night before, stick them in the fridge, and then the day-of, all you have to do is bake them!

A few days ago, we were having some family over, and I wanted to make a breakfast casserole. I was looking around for a new recipe, and I found one that called for adding pancake mix in with the eggs. I thought it was an interesting spin, so I decided to give it a try. (Incidentally, […]

The flavor of zucchini is very […]

Sure, pumpkins themselves aren’t in season right now, but pumpkin puree is available year-round, and it’s not like I cook my own pumpkins for recipes anyway. So although it’s January, give […]
The other day I woke up and decided I wanted to make a skillet scramble for breakfast, so I opened the fridge to see what it had to offer. I saw some of the things we frequently have on hand that were nearing their end game. So I figured, why not throw them into my […]
These muffins are amazing. In fact, they are so delicious, I think you could almost call them cupcakes. I know muffins are for breakfast, but I have no shame in admitting I’ve eaten them for dessert. The bananas and chocolate go so well together and the cinnamon and nutmeg add a bit of warmth. My […]
Welcome to the Cocina Monologues! I’m really excited about starting this blog, but I have to admit I don’t exactly know what I’m doing on the technical side of things just yet, so bear with me.
