You know what the most overlooked part of Thanksgiving is?

That’d be Turkey Day breakfast. Talk about getting no love!

I know some people are in the “starve yourself all day to make more room for dinner camp”, and I could not disagree more. I am strongly in the hearty-breakfast camp. We need our energy for turkey-basting and stuffing-making and pie-baking! Also, let’s be real – if I don’t eat breakfast, I’m going to be a total hangry mess, and nobody wants that, right?

The best “brunchitizer” – a fresh-baked chocolate croissant from my favorite Berkeley brunch place, La Note!

Hey guys! How’s your week going? It’s been great summer weather here and I have been lo-ving it. We finished our (wonderful!) marathon of trips and visitors that has been the past month and a half and have been enjoying some quieter times and more cooking at home – the biggest perk of a quiet weekend, in my humble opinion! I’m loving getting back in the kitchen in a big way, especially with all the inspiring summer food out there on the internet. Here are this week’s super-summer-lovin’ Foodie Favorites!

I absolutely love the idea of jazzing up store-bought ice cream with these fancy dipped cones. “Semi-homemade” is always the best approach to entertaining in my opinion!

These avocado and ahi poke parfaits look so wonderful and refreshing. Although I’m not sure I’m brave enough to try to prepare raw fish at home?? Help!

 It’s official – the apples have landed!

Hey everyone – Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but I’ve got the Fall baking bug pretty hard. I’m dreaming of apples and pears and pumpkin and homey cinnamon-y smells coming from my oven. I hope you’re on board, because THREE of my links this week are apple-based. Let’s get into it! Here are this week’s Foodie Favorites.

These cinnamon sugar apple muffins are straight up calling to me. Apple makes baked goods so sweet and moist, and that cinnamon sugar crumble topping situation has my name written all over it. Sooo good.

This rosemary-polenta pumpkin coffeecake is so gorgeous, and I’m loving the unique combination of flavors. Who would think to make coffeecake with polenta? I love it!
