Weekend Brunch, REWRITTEN
Published 29 days ago • 2 min read
Hi Reader,
I think brunch should feel like a treat. Not like you accidentally signed up for restaurant service in your own kitchen. Let’s keep it simple!
Summer Weekend Brunch
A few easy things you can prep ahead, a few you can throw together while still in pajamas, and you’ve got yourself a very happy table.
Easy rhubarb jam is exactly that. Easy. Made from just rhubarb, sugar, lemon, water, and a little stirring, it makes simple, pretty, and perfect preserves that taste just like old-fashioned rhubarb jam. No prior canning experience required. Here's how to make it at home.
A lot of my new recipes come from conversations I have with my husband. He usually dreams up some idea and asks if I can figure out how to make it, and I’m always up for the challenge. We both love a late breakfast, and this lasagna ticks all the yummy boxes (and it's good for supper, too!).
These easy chocolate muffins, made with flour, sugar, cocoa, eggs, oil, and vanilla, have a not-too-sweet but intense cocoa flavor. For those of us with more adult chocolate cravings.
This bacon jam, made with bacon, maple syrup, and coffee, is a sweet condiment slathered on burgers at the Skillet diner in Seattle--and just about everywhere else these days.
These cornmeal griddle cakes are a simple Southern staple, made with a handful of inexpensive pantry ingredients including cornmeal, baking powder, salt, egg, and water. Entirely gluten-free and amazing at breakfast and beyond. Here's how to make them.
This asparagus, egg, and cheese strata, made with Fontina, asparagus, and prosciutto, can be put together ahead of time or last minute. A great breakfast or simple dinner.
This mini quiche for one, made with pastry crust, egg, cream, nutmeg, and ham or bacon, is far easier to make than you might suspect. It's also the perfect single serving.
This mushroom, leek, and Gruyère tart, made with puff pastry, topped with garlic and thyme-infused leeks and mushrooms and Gruyère cheese is an easy appetizer or light vegetarian entrée.
These buns are (of course) inspired by the famous morning buns created at Tartine. On my only visit to San Francisco, I was able to try one of these perfect buns—orange and cinnamon and sugar and butter all wrapped up in a flaky dough. The orange and cinnamon scents that waft from the oven as they bake will fill your whole home with cheer.

Hi Reader, Dinner’s on the table — technically. But it’s giving “meal,” not “moment.”We’ve all been there: plain chicken, sad rice, and the sinking realization that salt is doing all the heavy lifting.
