The Pancake House: due to the gargantuan portions, sharing is a must here. But the hardest part is actually picking something to eat; with 90 flavors to choose from! Bacon-Cheddar, Strawberry & Choco Chip, the Maine Delicacy with Whole Grain & Blueberries...

In my house, the Chicken came first, Thursday night for dinner…but the Egg followed not long after for a delicious Saturday brunch! I am all about making my life as easy as possible, and it truly gives me great joy when I can create a satisfying “take 2” meal using leftovers: Balsamic Glazed Chicken served with Spinach Cheese Polenta & Eggs Sunny Side Up, over Spinach Cheese Polenta, drizzled with Balsamic Glaze.

Crunchy, nutty, sweet, slightly salty, and full of that baked goodness that you can only get with brown sugar and your oven. It’s better than the boxed stuff by far. You’ll never want to pay for overpriced cereal again.

Just chop up some eggplant, red peppers, onion, and garlic, roast them off, and puree in a food processor (or strong blender) with some tomato paste. Roasting takes some time (about 45 min.) but it is worth it with the intensified, caramelized flavors you get from the veggies.
