An Easy Breakfast for a Lazy MorningBridget's Recipe Review: Vanilla-Maple French Toast
THE RECIPE: Vanilla-Maple French Toast with Warm Berry Preserves I love French Toast. I sometimes don't order it when out to breakfast because it's so easy to make. I know some people feel this way about pasta. I don't agree with that, but everybody's got some hang up. This is a terrific recipe. I was unsure about soaking the bread over night but it was great! The custard is thick and not too sweet. I used La Brea bakery French bread which held up very well. I only made six slices as it was just for my boyfriend and me. We can be gluttons, but even we have our limits.
An Effortless (and Beautiful) Champagne PunchChris's Recipe Review: Pomegranate-Champagne Punch
THE RECIPE: Pomegranate-Champagne Punch You'll notice that, compared to some of my other posts, there are not a lot of pictures to document this Pomegranate Champagne Punch. There are several reasons for this. First, unlike food preparation, mixing drinks doesn't offer as many visual opportunities. The other reason is that once I had mixed up the first batch (for our office holiday party), I never got another chance to take more pictures: I was too busy keeping the punchbowl filled.

Six-Layer Coconut Cake with Passion Fruit Filling
This towering dessert is made up of layers of super-moist, almost puddinglike coconut cake spread with tangy passion fruit curd, then topped with whipped cream and crispy flakes of toasted coconut . The recipe is from Cynthia Wong, pastry chef at Cakes & Ale in Decatur, Georgia. The cake may look intimidating, but it’s easy to make: “Just pop the layers out of the baking pans and slap them together,” Wong says. Cakes & Ale, 254 W. Ponce De Leon Ave., Decatur, GA; …
