Maple Walnut Butter = Majorly Winning Breakfast

OOOH, this screams irresistible! Would you look at how luscious? Gimme gimme gimme! I do not know which Miss La breakfast spread is better: this or the homemade cheese. But I know that when I want something really umami and tiny-salty, hint-o-sweet-y, this is what I need in my mouth immediately.

To make:
1) Get a bunch of walnuts.
2) Put in blender or food processor. Turn on.


3) After a few minutes, when it starts to get all soft and buttery, add a pinch of salt and a drizzle of maple syrup.
4) Enjoy! Or, as my six-year-old sister once wrote, "ENGOY!"

Ricotta in the Morning


This is the breakfast of champions. As properly emphasized in the picture, I like to portion out more fresh homemade ricotta than actual raisin-pecan toast per bite, and I like just the tiniest dab of four fruits jam with each mouthful. This ricotta is, simply, stupid it is so delicious and easy to make. I often eat giant spoonfuls of it all on its own. Thank you, Miss La, for the addiction.

I've also found that a nice milky, honeyed cup of British breakfast tea is a perfect pairing with this.
