Friday Favorites
Breakfast sliders, new books and an Instant Pot milk frother
Welcome to Friday Favorites! I can’t wait to share this week’s scoop. This is a *very quick* glimpse of my week that goes out to all subscribers. I’ll include a fan-favorite recipe, something I’m watching, reading, or listening to, a recent find, and a “win for the week.
What I’m Cooking
I forgot about these Breakfast Sliders we used to make in classes until my daughter requested them for Christmas morning. I shared the recipe in an Instagram post and there’s a PDF version below. I typically make sour cream coffee cake for Christmas breakfast, a bagel bar and indulgent, creamy, soft scrambled eggs with chives. This year, I plan to make the Quiche Lorraine recipe I teach in my Basics series, but I’ll assemble it the day before. You could cook it a few days ahead and then rewarm it, covered with foil, in a 250-degree oven.
What I’m Reading
My brain is tired, and I haven't been able to read much. Does that happen to you? I go through weeks of blazing through books and then can't crack a page. Next up in my Kindle library is The Night We Lost Him by Laura Dave. It might not happen until I'm on a plane later this month!
What I’m Coveting
Hopefully, this isn't a spoiler for my oldest daughter, but she is as obsessed with coffee as I am. I got her this inexpensive Instant Pot Milk Frother, which she can use for matcha lattes and cappuccinos.
This Week’s Win
I welcomed new members of my online cooking school this week, and I can't wait to cook with them over the coming year. Smart in the Kitchen School meets online once a month, and I teach 3 to 4 recipes and share dozens more in a monthly email. You can check out all my online classes at Smart in the Kitchen School. The cooking school membership is still on sale if you want to snag a 40%-off school membership and cook with me for the next year.
