I love sesame seeds and I love dates, however the amount of sugar and butter in these makes these a one time thing for me.

Farmer Maggot’s Wild Mushrooms on Toast
I thoroughly enjoyed this meal, including the process. I had the window open to enjoy the much needed spring air and listened to the birds sing as I prepared the mushrooms and fresh herbs. The recipe called for shiitake mushrooms, button mushrooms (I used baby bella), and flat mushrooms (I used portobello), garlic, fresh thyme, fresh parsley, and lemon zest. The mushrooms were served atop a bed of mixed salad drizzled with olive oil on sourdough toast. The results were earthy, light and oh so good!

Oatmeal
We planned a trip to Thermopolis this weekend so I decided to do the quick traveler’s oatmeal breakfast. I opted for the “Beorning-style topping” which consists of a spoon of honey, nuts, and a handful of berries.

Spiced Pear and Cranberry Muffins
Probably my least favorite so far, but the recipe never really stood a chance as I’m not a huge fan of cranberry muffins. That being said, I did enjoy the natural sweetness of the muffin from the ripened pears.
Traveler’s All-In-One Breakfast in a Pan
My favorite breakfast recipe thus far, mainly because I was able to use my freshly seasoned cast iron skillet whilst channeling Merry and Pippin cooking on Weathertop, and also because it was a simple high quality tasting meal, like something you can find at a hipster restaurant in LA. This recipe called for cubed potatoes, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, eggs, and fresh herbs, and it was perfect.
Beorn’s Honey Cakes
Not much of a looker, but these little cakes were delicious and so simple. Mixed with brown sugar, flour, ripe bananas and baked for 20 minutes then topped with honey. The cakes were light and delicately sweet. Perfect for pairing with black coffee.
