A Day of Resolution Recipes, part I

There were several reasons that prompted me months back to do This Public Thing - shake up my routine, introduce new dishes to the repertoire, justify (or not) my cookbooks.

They've all been successful, even if some of the individual dishes weren't. But I've been honest about that, too.
But beyond that is something I didn't expect: I've gotten a bit more inspired in cooking.
Not all the time - I still do my share of "get home from work fried, plop some jar of sauce from TJ's over meatballs or pasta". But the last few weeks, I've cooked considerably more than one new recipe per week. I haven't posted them, generally, and I won't bore you all with every new one.

But I'm cooking four things today. Breakfast, dinner entree, dinner vegetable, dessert.
Three of them are new recipes. That's a milestone of sorts.

On to the first: ( Breakfast! )
