Although my mom cooked outstanding traditional dishes growing up (yes, I’m talking meatloaf, flank steak and green bean casserole), I would just flip to hear her say those magic words: breakfast-for-dinner. I know, it was just pancakes and sausage at 7 p.m. instead of 7 a.m., but somehow this morning-to-night swap was a culinary highlight for me. These days, I would eat these breakfast themed dishes from some of our favorite food bloggers any time of day (or night):
- Risotto coupled with the morning staples of bacon and eggs? Bacon, Egg and Leek Risotto is a breakfast for dinner I’d be proud to serve. {from Smitten Kitchen}
- Donuts are, well, one of my favorite foods. Donut Cake? Genius. {from The Wednesday Chef, originally by Catherine Newman}
- Squash blossoms are so pretty and I never would have thought to toss them into a quiche. Until now. Squash Blossom Quiche with Feta and Basil sounds perfect for my next brunch. {from Tartelette}
- When you don’t feel like doing much more than toasting a bagel, this Salmon Spread looks like it will do the trick for a tasty breakfast or lunch. {from Nectar}
- Looking for one more great way to incorporate rhubarb? Add it to breakfast this time for these Hazelnut Pancakes with Roasted Rhubarb Cardamom Compote. {from Naturally Ella}
- Is it a cinnamon roll or a donut? Who cares, it looks insanely delicious! Plus, this Cinnamon Roll Almond Flour Donut is baked not fried (healthy donut, no?). {from Roost}
- Grits tend not to be on my breakfast (or dinner) plate. But I sense that might change. This Asparagus with Poached Egg over Grits sure does make a pretty plate. {from Happy Yolks}
