The Blue Cottage Menu

Pancakes and Omelet

I usually skip breakfast. 

Yes, yes. I know it's the most important meal of the day. 

But as soon as I wake up, I have a gazillion things on my mind and a list of things to do. 

 Sunday brunches are non-existent on my book because I work on weekends,

but weekday brunches can be just as divine...

Fluffy vanilla pancakes dusted with sugar, topped with fresh fruits and a drizzle of syrup

Smoked ham, mozzarella and cheddar cheese omelet with homemade whole wheat bread

Cap this off with a mug of pipping hot black coffee and I'm good to go

Happy days...

Churros con Chocolate

It's been foggy weather here lately.

Meaning...

I've been living in my comfy sweater. Yes, it has seen better days, may be faded and has several tiny holes on the sleeves but I believe that is perfect fashion for foggy weather.

I've been too lazy to put on my garden boots and hunt down those pesky snails that keeps on raiding my lettuce bed. 

They'll have their day. Soon. When the sun comes out. Not today.

I've been too lazy also to go out and run some errands. My stock of flour and eggs has been dwindling, but not yet completely gone.

Meaning...

I can make the perfect foggy weather snack!

Too lazy to get out a few pots and make churros con chocolate from scratch?

  Nope. Never.

 Fresh, warm, soft and crunchy churros dredged in cinnamon sugar then dipped in thick hot chocolate...perfect!

* I'm including this on the menu soon! Perfect for Tagaytay weather;)

Strawberry Lemonade Muffins

Moist and fluffy lemon muffins marbled with strawberries. Yum!

*Now included on the menu;)

Greek Pizza

I don't know if you can really call it that but this pizza was made with ingredients inspired by Greek cuisine...and a little more ;)

homemade olive oil pizza dough, slices of plump tomatoes, black olives, purple sweet peppers, crumbly feta, mozzarella cheese and more olive oil

stringy cheese...yum!

Peach and Cinnamon Turnovers

 Cozy up to these babies...

Eggs Florentine

Muesli + Mumm-ra to set the mood of the day

an awesome breakfast with equally awesome music to start the day!

now, to tackle those darn weeds...
