Since breakfast is my favorite meal of the day it was only fitting that before March Meatball Madness came to a conclusion that we come up with a Breakfast Meatball. I stumbled on this idea quite by accident.

I find extreme satisfaction from really bold flavors. Not only do they excite my taste buds but they wake up my senses. This punchy Jamaican Jerk Marinade will leave your tongue dissecting the layers of flavors. It’s spicy, slightly sweet, and over the top with aromatics.

Let me talk quickly. We are currently experiencing unseasonably cold temps with wind gusts in the….well below our comfort level. My computer has been off and on again with power outages and server issues.
Carrot Cake Breakfast Bread served with hot comforting coffee makes ‘unseasonably’ seem novel.

Char Sui is Chinese BBQ Pork. Don’t let the word BBQ fool you. This isn’t your typical southern pulled pork BBQ (albeit we love that). No, the flavors and cooking method for Char Sui is quite different. And the results…phenomenal. Juicy, melt-in-your-mouth pork infused with a sweet & sticky marinade. Let us not pass over what makes Char Sui dreamy good. Crispy. Pork Fat. Rules!!

I sent Shelby an innocent birthday text (back on May 28th). It went something like this….what’s your favorite kind of cake? She threw me for a loop with her response.

I made Welcome Home Muffins for my dear friend and co-worker Sabina. She has arrived home after having been overseas caring for her mom. I’m not sure there is anything more personal than caring for a parent. We lovingly follow in their footsteps until it’s time to venture out on our own. Then we look over our shoulder for their approval as we find our way. Often the road leads us back home.

Growing up, this was the quintessential coffee cake in our home. We lived in blueberry country. Early on my grandfather Boppy grew the most gorgeous cultured blueberries. They were so sweet and big and juicy. Later we relied on wild blueberries which bordered tree lines and paths throughout our property. While it took a bit longer to fill our baskets, the reward was well worth it. The reward…was my sister Sarah making this heavenly Blueberry Coffee Cake.
