Lazy Longanisa (Filipino-Style Breakfast Sausage)
This lazy longanisa (Filipino-style breakfast sausage) recipe mimics a popular Filipino breakfast dish by marinating fully cooked smoked sausage (like andouille or kielbasa) in a blend of sugar and soy sauce. The sausage is caramelized and best served with white rice and a fried egg.
Ginger Scones
This delightful recipe yields light, buttery, warmly spiced ginger scones. They're aromatic, thanks to the perfect blend of ground ginger, crystallized ginger, and fragrant cardamom. They're perfect for breakfast, tea time, or any cozy moment.
Pumpkin Pie Seeds
The pumpkins are carved, the pies are baked, but how should you toast those pumpkin seeds? My favorite variation by far are these sweet pumpkin pie-spiced seeds. I've tried the stovetop method for coating the seeds, but they were too sticky and hard for my tastes, and easy to burn too. Try this baking method instead and they'll turn out perfectly toasted and crunchy.
