The ingredients are simple, but the melange of flavors is complex: savory toasted almonds, sweet honey and blueberries and hints of cinnamon and vanilla. I like to make it the night before so we can just roll out of bed on Saturday morning and build up parfaits in a snap. Ingredients: 3 c Old-fashioned oats 1 c Raw almonds 4 tbsp Brown sugar 1/2 tsp Ground cinnamon Generous pinch of salt 1/3 c Honey 2 tbsp Unrefined virgin coconut oil (Whole Foods) 1/2 tsp Vanilla 3/4 c Dried wild blueberries (Trader Joe’s) Preheat oven to 300 degrees and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine in a bowl, oats, almonds, brown sugar, salt and cinnamon. Combine in a saucepan over low heat, coconut oil, honey and vanilla until smooth. Pour honey mixture over oat mixture and use your hands to evenly cover oats. Turn out onto prepared baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes, tossing the granola every 15 minutes until golden brown.

You’ll notice salt isn’t on the list of ingredients, and that’s intentional. These fresh, whole ingredients don’t need the extra boost! The yolks in this traditional french dish are typically runny, but we prefer to cook them a few minutes longer until just past the runny stage. Either way, this delicious and easy petit déjeuner will help you start the weekend off right! Ingredients: 2 eggs 2 tablespoon cream tiny pinch of cayenne dash of freshly ground pepper goat cheese chopped fresh herbs (any combination of chives, rosemary, thyme, parsley) butter Special Equipment: 2 ramekins 9″ x 9″ baking dish Preheat oven to 400 degrees. And heat a few cups of water in a teapot or saucepan (for the oven water bath) and bring to a simmer. Butter the insides of the ramekins, crack an egg into each and use a fork to break up the yolk a bit.  Add cream and season with cayenne and freshly cracked pepper. […]
