Breakfast for Dinner


What is it about breakfast for dinner that is so special? Is it that we throw off societal rules about how we are supposed to do things? Or maybe it's even simpler than that. Maybe it's that syrup in the evening or the remnants of challah toast and fried egg (we will get to my relationship with fried egg in a future post) remind us of Saturday mornings, pajamas, dad reading the newspaper and mom with her cups of hot tea. Or maybe it's just because that's what you craved on a chilly February night.

Behold, your next dinner:
Buttermilk waffles with banana, Greek yogurt, and homemade blueberry syrup.


For blueberry syrup (Adapted from Gourmet), simmer 1 cup of blueberries with 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1/4 cup Brandy, and 1 Tbsp lemon juice until the berries burst into a pool of sanguine and sapphire and all you can think about are your deepest, darkest secrets...then turn off the heat and cool off awhile. You and the sauce.



Well hello little blue darlings


Ooh, I feel brighter already.


Some for you and some for me...Enjoy!
Freeze leftovers if you're a single cook to revisit the moment during the week.
