Orange roasted tofu and asparagus, miso soup, and a seaweed salad. If you make this dish, definitely use fresh basil instead of dried. I think it will make a huge difference in flavor. Other than that minor error, this was a pretty solid recipe. It had a very unique flavorful and was a great way to use up some tofu I had kickin’ around.

We enjoyed good food and good company with our friends for a Sunday brunch today. One of my favorite meals in life is brunch. I think if I had to choose my last meal on Earth, it would be a brunch buffet. I couldn’t make a buffet for our friends, but I planned the next best thing; breakfast pizza. My mom always made this for special occasion breakfasts when I was a kid and I loved it. It was a once a year treat, or sometimes less. So when we did get to eat it, it was the best thing ever. It’s perfect brunch food. But that’s not all we ate.
I made breakfast pizza, and strawberry filled crepes. Our friends made a fresh fruit salad, brought muffins from Avalon Bakery in Detroit, and brought fixin’s for mimosas. Mix all that together and you get a perfect meal.
RECIPES:
Breakfast Pizza
1 lb breakfast pork sausage
1 packages of 8 crescent rolls
1 cup frozen loose pack hash browns, thawed
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
5 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Brown sausage and drain. Separate rolls into 8 triangles and place in an un-greased 12″ pizza pan with points toward center. Press over bottom and up the sides. Spoon sausage over crust. Sprinkle potatoes and cheese. In a bowl, beat the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour over crust. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top. Bake at 375 degrees in oven for 25-30 minutes. Makes 6-8 slices. (I made a double batch and used 3 cans of crescent rolls instead of 2)
Crepes (Palacinky)
1 cup flour
2 eggs
1Â 1/4 cup milk (may need more if too thick)
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
Beat eggs, add sugar, salt and milk. Add flour little by little and beat well. Beat until very smooth. Batter should be thin so you may add more milk. Brown on both sides in a pan (I sprayed pan with cooking spray) with curved sides. Remove from pan, add filling, and roll up. (I used sugared strawberries for my filling, but you can use preserves, or pie filling, or just raw fruit. Whatever you want.)
Chicken and broccoli rice bowl (out of the bowl), sauteed butter and thyme mushrooms, and a salad. The mushrooms were fantastic but I felt they were too fancy to be paired with the rice dish as suggested by the magazine. The rice dish was really good and super fast too. It just wasn’t fancy. For dessert we had cherry blossom pudding Aya’s mom sent us, complete with an actual cherry blossom in the pudding. I’m not sure what cherry blossoms taste like, but it was gooo-oood!

Chicken and Broccoli Rice Bowl
Wow, these tasted awesome! The cumin on the fish with the fruit in the salsa worked really well together. I served it with a cilantro lime rice as a side. This would make a good summertime porch sittin’ dinner too.
RECIPES:
This was simple and super easy. It even tasted good, but it wasn’t memorable. If anything, it was a great way to use the leftover tortillas I didn’t have any other use for.
