Everything Bagel Seasoning

Everything spice, also called everything bagel seasoning or everything bagel blend, has become a trendy ingredient over the last few years. "Everything" is everywhere: in dressings and sauces, in chips and crackers, as a topping for and stirred into just about anything.

Bananas Foster for Two

No judgment here if you want to have your dessert for breakfast or brunch, or your breakfast or brunch for dessert.

Serve this classic sauce (or is it a topping? or maybe it's a saucy topping...?) warm over waffles, crêpes, or ice cream.

Jump ahead to the recipe at the end if you wish, but first, I have to talk about crêpes. This was how we made and served bananas foster recently and I highly suggest trying it.

Here is a quick round-up of seven great recipes to try if you need inspiration for what to make this week. I've included a few of my own and a few that just sounded delicious from others. Let me know in a comment what you think and if you have tried any of them!
