:: Weekend notes ::
It poured on Saturday, which was unfortunately the day we had scheduled for all our errands. It would have been so much better to have stayed in, but we soldiered on.
An improvised frittata for Sunday morning brunch turned out really well. Sweet potatoes + red potatoes sliced and tossed with rosemary and olive oil and then roasted. I caramelized a little pile of onions while the potatoes cooked, then tossed everything in a pan and poured several eggs over it and baked at 350 for 40 minutes. Perfect.
Scones are still my favorite easy treat for breakfast guests. They look, smell and taste impressive but come together in just a few minutes. You do have to have cream on hand, but not too much of it. This time I used dried cherries + cranberries (didn't have enough cherries to go it alone).
Gorgeous pictures! I'll be trying the frittata! Hope this Sunday the weather cooperates ;)

Looks amazing! I love Sunday brunch. xo.
ReplyDeleteBummer about your Sat., but Sunday sounded lovely. I like your roasted potatoe. I normally cube mine, but the sliced circles looks so much nicer =)

I use my mandoline for slicing, which is why I frequently end up slicing everything! My knife skills leave a lot to be desired.
DeleteThe frittata sounds lovely! And speaking as an English lass from the land of the scone, milk works just as well as cream:-)
ReplyDeleteThis is so good to know! I'll have to attempt it next time. Not sure why it never occurred to me that milk might work.
Deletelove your simplicity and sweetness. thanks for blogging!

I've gotta try that fritatta. My mouth is watering just at the thought.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm totally adding cherries to my scones next time. I've done cranberry-apricot, which was nice, but I've discovered the greatest dried cherries in the bulk section of my grocery store and I'm addicted. (SO EXPENSIVE. But delicious, and I try to buy them no more than once a month. It's hard.)
Yes, I love dried Montmercey cherries but they are so pricey! You have to treasure them.
DeleteThat frittata sounds wonderful! Very similar to a quiche recipe I love, but even easier. Going to try it out for the hubby soon!

ReplyDeletei thoroughly enjoy (and missed) your weekend briefly photographs. it has inspired me to capture my own weekends such as you do. if only my photography was as good as yours! :)
ReplyDeleteYum! I definitely have those frittata ingredients...thanks for the inspiration! Read any great Kindle books lately?
ReplyDeleteI'm still reading Game of Thrones, but I'm taking a quick break right now and reading the craziest book - will need to post an update soon. I'm not even sure how it ended up in my queue.
DeleteThose scones look amazing, and I love your table setup! Saturday really was crazy for weather, definitely not what we're used to around here.
