Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there, specifically though to my own mother! One thing I dislike most about being so far from my family is not being able to spend holidays with them as easily. So I have to send my love from afar and cook something as if my mom were here.
Shakshuka is an Israel dish made with tomatoes, peppers, and topped with poached eggs. That’s all I know about it. I would be lying if I said the only reason I decided to make this recipe is because it looked so pretty…
Every Easter my favorite thing to make/eat are cinnamon rolls. My mom made them all the time growing up and I have become accustomed to the smell of cinnamon on Easter morning. This year though I decided to mix things up but wanted to keep the cinnamon smell and flavor. The result is this baked French toast casserole.
Another reason I had a desire to make this dish is I stopped by a Great Harvest Bread Company and found this amazing Challah bread. I sampled a slice in the bakery and fell instantly in love. I knew I had to make something scrumptious with it (although it tastes heavenly with just a spread of softened butter).
