A whole ham is still a tradition of mine for the holidays which means I’ve gotten to play with different ways to use the leftover ham. This recipe is a current favorite for Christmas morning. After the feast is over the night before I just cut up the ham I need for the morning and shred my cheese. Then it’s just the super quick assemble of these irresistible breakfast muffins and 15 minutes in the oven before they are ready to be devoured. Pretty much less time than it takes to open presents! Another fabulous thing about this breakfast “muffin” is that you can pretty much throw whatever you want in these awesome little crescent roll crusts. Why not go crazy and put leftover turkey, stuffing and a spoon full of gravy beneath that cracked egg? Or if your holiday protein of choice is a prime rib roast, cube that up and throw it in with some leftover mashed potatoes and blue cheese. The world is your breakfast muffin! Wait, is the saying “the world is your oyster”? Does that mean it should be, “The breakfast muffin is your oyster”? Regardless, these things are highly addictive so I suggest on making several batches if you have a crowd larger than 2. Just sayin.
Soooooo I might have gone a little photo crazy while making these. Just in case you had any questions as to the process, this string of photos should clear that right up.
First your roll your dough out.
Then cut that dough in half to make squares…
…or a muffin tin with a square of dough.
Add a healthy dose of ham and cheese to each of the lined muffins (or ramekins)
Finally crack an egg on top and pop those suckers into the oven!

These pumpkin pie spice swirled sugar cookie sandwiches with pumpkin cream cheese buttercream are at the top of my favorites list for this years collection. Winning over the Coquito frosted sugar cookies only by a narrow margin due to my intense love of all things pumpkin. I hope you guys love them too!
Pumpkin Pie Spice Swirled Sugar Cookie Mise en Place!
First roll out the sugar cookie dough and sprinkle with brown sugar-pumpkin pie spice mixture.
Then you roll the dough into a tight log, wrap it in plastic wrap and chill.
Finally, cut the dough and bake off those beautiful swirled sugar cookies before filling with buttercream!

This is a round up of desserts that I would love to eat on Thanksgiving next week if I’m not too bloated by the insane amount of stuffing I plan to inhale, er, eat daintily as a proper lady should. What are you guys planning to have for dessert next Thursday?
How about adding a Nutella layer to your pecan pie? Awesome + Awesome = Awesomer

]]>I’m uber fortunate that even though I live a few thousand miles and a sea or two from my closest blood relative, I’ve got a ton of “family” here in Rincon. The delightful family behind the Rincon Surf School, the Moore’s, have taken me in and adopted me as one of their motley crew. Nearly every week for the last couple of months, I’ve invaded the surf school, commandeered the kitchen and have shared a family meal with them. I love having dinner around the table and talking about how everybody’s days have been going. As a single 30 something, it creates warm fuzzies in place in me that wants to be filled. I grew up in a family that had proper meals sitting around the table every night and I love it. Thank you to Travis and Asia for opening up your home and always welcoming me in so warmly! You guys rock!
Travis handling up on prepping the area for the next pizza to pop out of the oven (and Jimmy photo-bombing).
So about that whole “warm fuzzy dinner around the table” thing – that totally wasn’t the case this week! This week we planned on doing a pizza party where I make some dough and sauces and everybody who comes brings a topping then we all play with dough and make our own pizzas. Turns out that between Asia (who is also an avid cook) and me we probably didn’t really need for everyone coming to bring something. We had plenty of dough and a plethora of toppings for enough pizza to fill us all to the brink of needing a gurney to be carted away on. Pizza after pizza was slide into the oven and pizza after delicious pizza was pulled out for the crowd to feast on.
Every imaginable surface was covered with pizza toppings and pre-baked pizzas.
I guess that since this is a food blog it’s only appropriate for me to list some of the ingredients we had lined up for the party. We had a traditional red sauce, chipotle barbecue, roasted garlic and thyme cream sauce, buffalo chicken, mashed sweet potato, balsamic glaze, goat cheese, asiago, broccoli, sauteed mushrooms, ground beef, peppers, red onions, shaved fennel, prosciutto, cheddar, pepperjack, mozzarella, colby, bacon, pepperoni, tomatoes, and, uh, pretty sure I’m missing a topping or two. And this is why I’m in a pizza coma.

*Special thanks to the Rincon Surf School team for remembering to snap off a few pics with their cell phones during dinner (which I totally yoinked off of Facebook) so that I have proof that the night ever happened.
