You know those mornings when you just NEEEEED an epic breakfast?
Like, 90% of the time, cereal is awesome. Oatmeal is just great. Scrambled eggs = easy. Done. But every so often, Sunday morning rolls around and the usual rotation is just not going to cut it. I need something decadent, ooey-gooey, and super hearty. Usually of the cheesy or chocolaty variety.
This croque madame is for these kinds of mornings.
We’re still in serious St. Patrick’s Day prep mode over here! On Sunday we took care of breakfast, and today we tackle dessert.
Hm…breakfast, beer, dessert. Those are the 3 most important meals of the day, right?
I don’t know about where you live, but ‘round these parts, St. Patrick’s Day is a pretty big deal.
A “start-drinking-before-noon” kind of big deal. I mean, we dye an entire river green. You just gotta do it.
It may be more than a week before the actual day, but in food blogger world, we always celebrate early. So welcome to St. Patrick’s Day WEEK up in here. I ate and drank copious amounts of chocolate and beer this weekend FOR YOU. You’re welcome!
This is my absolute perfect winter pizza.
And by that I mean it’s my perfect how-is-it-still-zero-degrees-on-March-2nd pizza.
I can’t look ahead to asparagus and artichokes and other signs of spring. I can’t think about bathing suits or sunshine or Vitamin D. It’s just too painful. Let’s just hang out here, in our PJs in the middle of the day (because obviously we haven’t been outside yet), gazing out of our snow-filled windows and eating butternut squash and bacon pizza. This is my happy place right now.
