Mother’s Day is fast approaching. Last year I celebrated my first Mother’s Day with my daughter. She, my husband and I were in London on vacation. We picked up some pastries and coffee and spent the day together. This year I’m pregnant with my son. We’re having a slightly more chill Mother’s Day this year and will be spending it at our home in Austin, cooking up some Mother’s Day recipes and relaxing.

Mmmm. Bananas Foster. Mmmm. French toast. MMMMM. Bananas foster french toast! I’ve seriously been wanting to make this for months. I mean, how absolutely delicious does that combination sound? I love the sticky sweetness of bananas foster. And I love French toast. So I’ve been wanting to combine the two into a delicious French toast.
I tried to make a version of this last year. And while it wasn’t bad… it just wasn’t up to my standards. It was not blog-worthy. I didn’t want to share it with you guys yet. But then I saw a loaf of brioche bread in Trader Joe’s and I thought.. It’s time to try this out again. So I grabbed the loaf, grabbed some bananas, and got ready to test out the bananas foster french toast recipe again.

In spring and summer, I tend to want all the lemony things. Lemonade, lemonade pie, lemon bars, lemon orzo soup, and lemon cocktails. And I tend to throw lemon zest and lemon juice into everything I can. That’s how this lemon dutch baby pancake recipe came to be.
First of all, I think I’ve mentioned it here on the blog before… I am HORRIBLE at making pancakes. But dutch baby pancakes? I am a star at making those. It helps that they are SO easy. Basically you just blend up some ingredients, pour it into a pan, and let your oven do the work for you. My kind of meal.

So you know how sometimes you KNOW you need to get in your greens, but you really don’t feel like eating a salad? That’s been me lately. I know I’m probably not getting enough nutrients and not eating enough veggies. So instead, we’ve been buying a lot of baby spinach. And I’ve been putting them into smoothies. I love smoothies. And it’s easy to just throw in a bunch of spinach, and voila! A green smoothie that tastes delicious.

I love smoothies and smoothie bowls. But making them can be challenging. We used to have a blender that would require me to keep adding more liquid, and stopping the blender to push ingredients down to get them incorporated. So annoying and time consuming. But we got a new blender! Finally. And now I can make all the smoothies and smoothie bowls I want so easily. Just in time for summer.

Sometimes simplicity is best. I love recipes that aren’t overly complicated. Especially now with a new baby that is still demanding the majority of my attention. If I can whip something up in 5 minutes? Perfect.
Enter these scrambled eggs. They are light, fluffy, and the green onions add something special.
What inspired this recipe was a trip to the farmer’s market here in downtown Austin. We wound up spotting these beautiful green onions. They were so fresh, and I knew they would accompany scrambled eggs perfectly. A match made in breakfast heaven.
