I recently decided to give our Facebook page a little more attention 😉 Basically the FB page is a combination of our twitter and blog all in one place. So if you do not have time to check us out here at theSeattleCook.com you can surely get the latest info into your news feed! Bon appetite! <– I know 🙂
What you will need: Leftover brioche 1 to 1 1/2 cup raisins 3 eggs 3/4 cup sugar 1/2 tsp salt 3 1/2 cups milk Vanilla, to taste Cinnamon, to taste Nutmeg, to taste Powdered sugar for dusting Slice your leftover brioche into 3/4″ to 1″ thick pieces and toss into a 9″ pie dish or square baking dish and sprinkle raisons on top. In a separate bowl, whisk together all the other ingredients and pour over the bread and raisons. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours (or overnight works too!). When you are ready to pop it in the oven, preheat at 350 degrees and bake for about 45 minutes or until golden brown. Remove, dust with powdered sugar and serve!! YUM…
The title rhymes! :0) I made Sticky Buns a while back and wanted to try something a bit different. Strawberries are on sale right now at Whole Foods so I picked some up and thought I would try making my own fresh strawberry preserves/sauce with a twist. This past Sunday, Maggie showed up at our door extra early….so while Mark slept-in (and Maggie vegged out on the couch), I made them both Strawberry & Rum Sticky Buns!

What you will need: – 1 lemon cake mix – 2 eggs, used separately – 1/1 cup oil – 1 package cream cheese, softened – 1/4 cup sugar – 1/2 of a medium sized lemon, juice and zest – 10-12 strawberries, sliced into quarters Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

I have always loved eggs in a frame and after seeing this twist on a classic I thought I would give it a try! It is so simple and delicious (if you like bell peppers, of course). And so on Sunday when I was walking around Pike Place I saw the bright red bell peppers at Franks Produce and bought em. Melt a little butter in a pan (medium/high heat).  When completely melted and bubbling, add one bell pepper ring and let is sit for about a minute.  Crack an egg in the middle of the bell pepper ring and add a bit of salt and pepper.  When the egg has turned white, then add shredded cheese (any cheese works- I used Monterey Jack…

I woke up on Saturday to the smell of sticky buns! Believe it or not I never had one before. But before the (cook) get’s into how to make sticky buns…now is probably the best time to introduce Jack (aka the cat). Jack is the cook’s best friend, he literally follows her everywhere. I am assuming he is also trying to take over my roll as sous chef but I will do everything in my power to make sure he does not 🙂 From the cook… Trader Joe’s Buttermilk biscuits from Ballard store (4609 14th Ave NW) Mrs. Butterworth’s maple syrup 1/4 cup chopped California almonds 3 tablespoons of melted butter 1/3 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon. cinnamon a pinch of nutmeg *Used…
