Sausage, Sweet Potato, and Sage Frittata: My Diary of Us

Sausage, Sweet Potato, and Sage Frittata

Hi, it's me...Leigh Ann, the girl who disappeared on ya for a couple of weeks.  I know I am horrible and you have probably been starving because I have not been posting my recipes regularly...or maybe you actually can survive with me, but I don't like to think about that.  So let's pretend your life hasn't been the same without my usual posts to keep you company.  K?   I am here to feed you today, and the recipe is really good, so maybe you can forgive me, just this once.  I have the perfect brunch for your Thanksgiving weekend to make you a rock star in the eyes of all of your houseguests.  My sausage, sweet potato, and sage frittata is super easy, you will have most of the ingredients already, and it will knock everyone's socks off in the taste department.

We all know that when Thanksgiving rolls around you buy too much of everything just in case something goes wrong.  If we are lucky, nothing goes wrong but then we have a bunch of leftover herbs and other ingredients and then what?

Ricotta, Honey, and Cracked Pepper Persimmon Toast: My Diary of Us

Ricotta, Honey, and Cracked Pepper Persimmon Toast

I was in denial about today being Monday all last night.  I procrastinated going to bed, refusing to let our week of vacation come to an end.  This morning I was so comfortable in my bed, there was a chill outside, and the last thing I wanted to do was get out of the bed and face Monday head on including lots of emails, errands to be run, and loads of laundry that are haunting me.  But...life must go on and I made myself get up.  Mornings like these call for easy breakfasts that I can throw together and not have to put a lot of energy into.  Not to mention, I need a little does of healthy in my life this week after indulging in eating my way through South Florida last week (more to come about that tomorrow).  This ricotta, honey, and cracked black pepper persimmon toast is the perfect start to my Monday and I think I might just eat it all week long.

I've already told you about my love for persimmons when I shared with you the persimmon spiced punch a couple of weeks ago, which would be the perfect Halloween drink by the way.  Eating it on a piece of toast slathered with ricotta and then adding a little honey and cracked pepper just makes me fall in love with the fruit even more.

Whole Wheat Rosemary Crust Tomato Galette: My Diary of Us

Whole Wheat Rosemary Crust Tomato Galette

TGIF.  Am I right?  I'm pretty excited about tonight because we are carving pumpkins with Canean's sisters.  We are going to eat chili, drink pomegranate sangria, and pretend we are ten again, well except for the cocktail part.  The nights have been slightly chilly this week which is going to make for a perfect fall night.  I love when Friday nights start the weekend off with a bang and kind of set the momentum for Saturday and Sunday.  And another requirement for a great weekend is a great breakfast or brunch at some point.  This easy whole wheat rosemary crust tomato galette is perfect for just that!

If you are a lazy baker like me, then galettes are right up your alley.  Imperfection is what makes these great, it's kind of necessary in fact.  You don't need perfect edges, there is no refrigerating overnight.  You can throw whatever ingredients on top of the simple dough, which can be made in the food processor, and you have yourself an easy breakfast, brunch, or lunch!
