Catherine's Flaxxy Breakfast Souffle

I can't get enough of my sister's yummy protein-packed breakfast concoction:








Mix this up:
2 egg whites
1 egg
1/3 cup ground flax
1/2 cup yogurt
1 t vanilla
1/2 t baking powder
Cinnamon and cardamom to taste


Pour into a small, hot, oiled pan and let it hiss, then turn down the heat to low and cover. When it's puffy and set enough, flip it and cook for another few minutes. Put on a plate, smear with almond butter, top with berries and voila: breakfast that will keep you full until the afternoon.

Ocean Roll Pudding

Sparrow Bakery is further away from my house than Back Porch Coffee on Newport. Back Porch sells Sparrow's baked goods. Therefor, I buy the famous cardamom Ocean Rolls at Back Porch. When last I went to Back Porch for 4 rolls for my house guests, the lovely barista asked if I'd like to try something fabulous with the rolls. I said "most assuredly". And she gave me her recipe for a bread pudding made with the rolls. Now... why didn't I think of this?

4 Ocean Rolls, cut in half length-wise, placed in a casserole dish
1.5 cups almond milk mixed with 1 T vanilla and 4 eggs, poured over the rolls.
Cover and let sit for a few hours in the fridge. Bake 350 degrees covered for 30 minutes, then uncovered for 30 minutes. Do this recipe with any favorite cinnamon roll.

Damn, that's good. Thanks Back Porch barista girl!!! My guests LOVED it.

Coconut Carrot Cake

I have company at my house and it's nice to make a cake when you know half of it will be eaten at one sitting. This is a winner: tons of grated carrot, walnuts, cream cheese frosting and coated with unsweetened coconut shavings.
