Are you looking for the perfect brunch item to serve for your Mother's Day brunch? Well look no further than these pancakes right here - they are delightfully light and the best part is that they do not come from a yellow box. I found that they key to making a great pancake is what you do with the eggs. One of my favorite brunch spots in Brooklyn is the Buttermilk Channel - if you are ever in the area I urge you to go, their brunch menu is out of this world. I typically get an omelette but one particular day, I managed to convince my sister to let me try her pancakes and they were knee-buckling good - they were fluffy and had a hint of richness that I couldn't put my finger on - I honestly still don't know the ingredient, but it tasted like vanilla laced bourbon. These pancakes are very similar in texture since instead of adding the entire egg, you separate it and whip the egg whites into stiff peaks which is then later added into the batter. This creates for an amazingly light and fluffy pancake that would be an amazing star at your next brunch. Continue for more...
If I had to pick one of my favorite meals, it would consist of a variety of good cheeses, crusty bread, buttery olive oil and a mixture of olives, perhaps it is the side of me that so badly wishes I was Tuscan. I came across this delectable tablescape created by prop stylist Kim Ficaro (of Domino Magazine fame) for Athena Calderone - a fabulous interior designer that has a serious penchant for delicious food. This table setting is rustic, yet incredibly elegant at the same time. Continue for my take on creating the same type of meal!
I hope that everyone had a great weekend! I had a busy weekend, first on Saturday I celebrated my honeys birthday with an amazing chocolate chip pancake breakfast (recipe to come), followed by a Yankee game (they won, go Yanks!). Then on Sunday, I got to spend the day with one of my dearest friends Christi, who was in town from Charleston, South Carolina. We spent the day exploring Brooklyn with a must-stop at the Smorgasburg which was amazing as always. Spring is still slowly making it's way into the area and I have been back and forth with wearing a jacket to going without. One item that I can't live without is my leather jacket - which is just one of the reasons that I love this outfit here. I love how the toughness of the leather is paired with two ultra-feminine pieces like floral prints and white, delicate embroidery. I also love how her brows are super defined and how her cheeks are rosy, just a sunny look. I hope that everyone has a great week!
