Stephanie's Recipes

This dish is festive enough for a holiday brunch, but also easy and portable for weekdays. The frittatas can be mixed in advance and baked to order. Or baked, frozen and heated up for an individual egg breakfast at the office.

Having something in the house to eat when you get back from a trip is a must, and a vegetarian saute helps reset your system for the next day. I adapted this recipe from thekitchn.com, where they had the ingenious idea of toasting whole cumin in the skillet. In this version I use only nonperishable ingredients.

This zesty salad will make you rethink kale as a side dish. While the winter vegetable can intimidate with its toughness, once you break it down kale is delicious and great for you. It detoxifies, helps prevent cancer, and can even lower cholesterol.

I love this recipe because it creates delicious pancakes without even using flour. Banana adds sweetness and texture to the batter, while egg whites fluff it up.

These pumpkin-oatmeal pancakes have about 250 calories per serving. Compare that to a short stack of IHOP's original buttermilk pancakes, which packs 490 calories into three cakes.
