A tasty and relatively easy recipe with a great classic red sauce. The original recipe linked below uses canned chipotles, but this has been adapted to use more dried chiles, as the heat from the canned chipotles overpowers the eggs.

Sauce
* 3 whole dried ancho and/or pasilla peppers
* 1 canned chipotle chile
* 1/4 cup canola oil, divided
* 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
* 4 medium cloves garlic, thinly sliced
* 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
* 1 (14-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, preferably fire-roasted (such as Muir Glen)

Bon Appetit called this recipe Tunisian-style eggs, but we instantly recognized it as a close cousin to the Berber Eggs we had for breakfast in Morocco. We tweaked the recipe slightly, and it was delicious!

Serves 2

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 medium red onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 red bell peppers, cored, chopped or thinly sliced into strips
1/2 large tomato, finely diced
3+ tablespoon harissa paste and/or dried spice mix

A great and easy blueberry muffin recipe that doesn't need milk - perfect for the weekend. Also, the raw batter is addictive.

3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
Heavy pinch of salt
Dash of Nutmeg

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 generous cup plain, unflavored yogurt (throw in extra if you want)
Vanilla Extract

2 cups fresh blueberries
Softened Butter, for muffin tins
Turbinado sugar (optional)

Preheat oven to 385 degrees.

In a medium bowl sift flour, baking soda, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

I love blueberry bagels and cream cheese. They're probably ... no ... definitely my favorite food. If I was stranded on a desert island and could only take one food with me (nutritional value aside), I would take blueberry bagels and cream cheese. I've often joked (only somewhat kidding...) that I could go on an all-bagel diet (with some proteins beyond cream cheese thrown in for delicious bagelwiches). In fact, I'm eating a blueberry bagel with cream cheese right now (not even one I made in this recipe... while making this recipe, I ate a storebought blueberry bagel with cream cheese).

Perfect pancakes are like perfect rice - the secret shibboleths of the kitchen. Smitten Kitchen has a great read on making amazing pancakes, adapted here:

• 1 cup buttermilk, or mix in 2 T yogurt to plain milk

3 large Hatch green chiles; roasted, chopped and seeded (or 2 small cans chopped green chiles)
1 can corn (optionally briefly blended with hand blender to break down)
1 small zucchini, sliced into half moons and salted for 10-30 minutes to release excess water
1/2 lb. Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack Cheese, grated
6 Eggs
8oz sour cream

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Mix chiles, corn, and zucchini in a bowl.

Layer chile mix with the grated cheese in an buttered or greased 13x9x2 inch baking dish.

This recipe, from Diana's Desserts tasted great, but was not the best for the bread machine - it was super flaky/crumbly, and took some serious effort to extract. Perhaps using the machine to make the dough and then continuing in the oven would work better?

Ingredients for 1 Pound Loaf:
