This is Ali Slagle's sheet-pan feta with chickpeas and tomatoes from NYT Cooking:

If I’d been monitoring more closely, I might have pulled it out earlier and missed the bits of char on the chickpeas.  Per the header notes, I added cauliflower and olives.
 

Served on arugula, lightly dressed with salt, lemon juice and olive oil.

Flatbread is my usual fluffy and crisp flatbread from Andy Baraghani's The Cook You Want To Be.  I will make this again.

Some wonderful elaborate breakfasts here. By contrast, here's mine: Bacon and avocado on toast with Tantan Xiang pickled red chilies.

With fresh coffee from the cafetiere.

No regrets.

I continued the sheet-pan theme with this Sheet-Pan Baked Feta With Broccolini, Tomatoes and Lemon from NYT Cooking. 

I added chickpeas to the pan and served it over farro.

Is there a better way to start a weekend ? Weisswurst, Brezn, Obatzda, Helles al fresco …

 

 

(plus the usual suspects in the background’ and fresh garden strawberries for the rest of the family)

We started the weekend with filled crepes. Clementine jam and ricotta for the filling, topped with melted butter and jam, strawberries and a sprinkle of pistachios.

[C. sapidus]

I was craving a spicy breakfast, so . . . breakfast tacos with chorizo, zucchini, and egg, plus white onion, garlic, jalapenos, bird chiles, Mexican oregano, and Thai basil. Finished with a little heavy cream and feta to somewhat tame the heat.

French toast made from a loaf of sourdough so stale that I ended up letting the slice sit overnight in the egg:milk mixture when it became clear it wasn’t going to soften in time for yesterday’s breakfast 😮

The sausage patty was a freezer remnant from a while back when I used an Aldi breakfast sausage chub to freeze up a batch of thin patties I could cook quickly, right from frozen for breakfast sandwiches.  Time to make another batch.

More stale bread French toast, topped with the Baked Apricots with Maple & Fenugreek from A Whisper of Cardamom by Eleanor Ford 

The recipe includes an unsweetened whipped yogurt and a sprinkle of amaretti cookie crumbs. 
Interesting use of fenugreek here.  The seeds are toasted and infuse the maple syrup drizzled over the apricots before baking. It doesn’t overwhelm but adds a nutty, earthy flavor that's most noticeable when you bite into one of the seeds.

Hacked-up omelet with bay scallop, white onion, and long red chile. Plain for elder son, who is visiting. Topped with feta for me.

 

Fried plantains, burned black like Mrs. C prefers.

 

Tasted, as they say, better than it looked.

Well, I live in Dumplingland, They are as un-exceptional as the sun rising in the morning. But I love most of them.

[BeeZee]

Fage plain Greek yogurt, drizzle of local honey, black figs, sliced/toasted almonds.

[Ann_T]

Burgers and fries for breakfast.

Toasted Tots in the Toaster Oven

 

[C. sapidus]

Papas chirrionas (potatoes with pasilla chile sauce). Toast pasilla chiles and blend with chipotle in adobo and crushed tomato (sub for tomate verde). Cube, boil, and fry potatoes, add sliced onion and garlic, and then add the blended sauce and cook down. Finish with Mexican oregano and feta cheese, and serve on corn tortillas.

 

Send-off breakfast for elder son, who is on his way to the airport.

We are finally having the hot weather that I love. It is in the high 80's.

We had to turn on the air conditioning yesterday.

I've never let the weather interfere with what I feel like eating.

I've had a craving for chicken stew and dumplings and since I'm working today,

I decided to make it this morning and Moe could have it for breakfast and I'll take it for lunch.

Moe told me today, that if he had to eat only one meal for the rest of his life, it would be my chicken stew.

Extra Crispy Spud Buds

 

I love crispy potatoes, and tots are no exception. Yesterday I was going to make a batch of smashed potatoes, but other obligations got in the way. I kept thinking about'em, though, and wondered how smashed Potato Tots might be. And that's what you see on the plate.

 

Heated the tots in the microwave for about three minutes ... put 'em on parchment paper placed on a tray. When the oven beeped, I pulled out the tots on the parchment paper and put it directly on a sheet pan, separated and smashed 'em and baked in the Breville until nice and crispy. A little habanero hot sauce after the fact added some more flavor. Man ... they turned out well, and going forward I'll refine the technique.  If you like crispy potatoes, and enjoy tots, this may be worth a try ...

I'm the exact opposite. Once it hits 80s,I refuse to turn on the oven-AC or no. If it can't be grilled or made stovetop, chances are it won't happen.
