i brought home a handful of fresh figs from the market and didn’t know what to do with them at first. luckily, the ny times food section had this recipe, and i somehow had everything on hand.
fig and almond cake, coffee, and nectarines made a perfect breakfast.

i finally made it to abc v a few weekends ago. the vegetarian and health-focused menu was so delightful that my friend and i ate until we couldn’t feel our stomachs anymore. the most interesting thing i had was the coconut yogurt topped with pistachio granola (first picture). i think i am going to try my hand at making my own.

one of my favorite places in nashville is the pancake pantry, a nashville institution. no matter the weather, there is a line around the corner of tourists and locals alike who can’t wait for a delicious, unpretentious, down home breakfast. i love ordering a half order of the sweet potato pancakes (you get 3 instead of 5) and a side of eggs. i found myself missing home lately so did my best to recreate my favorite breakfast at home.
i used this recipe.

after many years living in nyc, i finally made it back to what is probably my favorite brunch spot in the city. clinton street baking company’s infamous pancakes are just as good as everyone says, but the line always deterred me. luckily, they opened a new location right next to the original restaurant, so when we arrived at 9am on sunday morning, we were seated right away.

one of the rituals i miss the most from philly is going to la colombe every morning. luckily, there is a la colombe now in nyc, perfect for those days when i am craving a taste of philly coffee.
almond brioche, milk chocolate and coffee bar, and iced coffee.
