He would have probably liked this too, and it’s by one of his favorites: Alton Brown. This french toast is so rich, and custardy. I don’t even know if that is a word. While I was eating it I couldn’t help but squeal with delight the way Giada does on her show....

Pumpkin Cinnamon buns are great for breakfast on the weekend. I made the dough the night before and let it rise over night. They only take 20 minutes to bake in the oven, so you can prep the streusal and icing while you’re waiting for the oven to heat up. Some of the cinnamon rolls were not all the same size. As most of you know, I suck at math, and they looked pretty funny in the pan after they cooked because the rolls were all not the same size....

Instead of just throwing the potatoes straight on the skillet Bobby Flay boils the potatoes in the water until they are just fork-tender and then the rosemary oil gets the skin extra crispy. If you don’t like rosemary feel free to use whatever herb you think would work well with the potatoes....
