At precisely 5am this morning I found myself wide awake. This being a very unusual occurrence, I decided to take advantage of it and make something deliciously decadent to go along with last night's leftovers that I planned on using for breakfast. Why not make it brunch?
I scanned my recipe books and magazines, coming across Cranberry Sticky Buns and deciding these sounded perfect since I still have wild cranberries in my freezer from last Fall. The three+ hours of prep and cook time did not phase me since that would mean an 8:30am hearty breakfast/brunch for Matt and I.
Last night I made French scalloped potatoes to go with some ham, perhaps being inspired by the movie Julie and Julia that I saw on Friday to make something classic with butter. The movie was just absolutely enchanting and mouth-watering to me and I highly recommend going to see it. Meryl Streep plays Julia Child with such perfection and I am pretty sure I smiled the entire movie.
So, scalloped potatoes, ham, cranberry sticky buns...what else? I poached an egg for each of us and laid them on some fresh steamed swiss chard from the garden. Delicious!
