When I first conceived of these bright little tarts, I imagined them as dessert. Later I decided that they were even better as a fancy, yet healthy (gluten-free and sugar-free), breakfast. Either way, they are a luscious pairing of two winter gems: kumquats and dates. More

It's almost Valentine's Day, so let's take a moment to appreciate one of food's great partnerships: avocado and eggs. We've tried adding avocado to scrambled eggs or using mashed avocado in place of mayonnaise in an egg salad, but this idea is a new one: baking an egg directly in an avocado half! More

You don't have to wait until Valentine's Day to surprise your sweetie with breakfast in bed, but maybe this sexy Battista tray from Italian design studio Mr. Less and Mrs. More will inspire you to make it a weekly indulgence. More

Q: I adore overnight oatmeal but due to repairs I will be left without a fridge next week.

I was wondering, do you think the oats can be left at room temperature? Will they still soak up the liquid?

We look forward to winter fruit salads all year — those grapefruit, oranges, and other citrus are in season and we can't get enough. But if you want to take your winter citrus salads to the next level, check out this smart, sweet tip from reader Marie-Eve. More

When I moved to New York City almost fifteen years ago, a friend took me on a downtown tour of inexpensive places to fill my belly. One stop was the Lahore Deli, a Pakistani joint on the edge of Soho where for four dollars I could have a little box of rice, dal and veggies plus a hot cup of sweet milky chai. The chai's share of that bill was one dollar; these days it's a buck fifty.

It was there, inside Lahore Deli, where my love for chai blossomed and as I made my way farther afield in the city, I scouted out other places for great chai, but I never found one that matches Lahore's and so when the craving comes — and it comes almost daily — I either meander over to Crosby Street, or I make my own.

Valentine's Day is only two weeks away. Thinking about breakfast in bed for your Valentine, kids, friend? (Or maybe even for your own sweet self?) Then a plate of raspberry heart shaped pancakes will do just fine. More

I'll be honest: an excuse to eat granola is one of the reasons I have yogurt for breakfast every day. I start to anticipate crunching into that first nutty-sweet cluster almost as soon as I open my eyes. Same for you? More

This past weekend, I combined my love for chocolate cacao nibs and steel cut oatmeal and thus, a perfect new–to–me breakfast was born. Their slight acidity, earthy flavor and crunch makes them an ideal pair to a bowl of comforting oatmeal. And a little chocolate never hurt first thing in the morning! More

Q: I'm looking for homemade alternative to pancake mix. While I love pancakes made from scratch, I find myself turning to pancake mixes for quick and easy breakfasts.

I'd love to find a recipe to make a whole grain, high fiber mix like Bob's Red Mill makes. Any suggestions?
