What cereal was introduced in 1963? (Answer below in Mr. RGBistro’s crossword puzzle.)
I really hope your Saturday morning routine is a little like ours; sleeping in, snuggling with the dog and steaming lattes…
Breakfast also comes with a garden view, a crossword puzzle and morning fetch with Britta the weimaraner.
I keep telling Mr. RGBistro that one of these a day will keep the brain sharp. Not pictured: the following Sudoku puzzle.

Our garden strawberries seem to be at the peak of their season right now, so we try to eat them unadulterated. What better than serving them with a Dutch baby, syrup, butter and Meyer lemon juice?
Do you have a Saturday morning routine?
Dutch Babies
Dutch babies are quite simple to make. One egg per person, and equal parts flour and milk. They look like clouds coming out of the oven, but deflate nicely on the plate. Finish with a squeeze of Meyer lemon, a dusting of powdered sugar and a drizzle of maple syrup.
~ Makes ~
2
~ Ingredients ~
- 1 Meyer lemon
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 6 tablespoons milk
- 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Pinch kosher salt
- Handful of strawberries
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- Powdered sugar
~ Preparation ~
Preparation Time: 30 minutes
- Preheat gas oven to 425˚ F or electric convection oven to 400˚ F.
- Melt unsalted butter in a microwave for about 30 seconds. Pour 2 teaspoons into the bottom of each of the two 6 x 6 round or square casserole dishes. Put dishes in oven for three minutes to brown the butter. Meanwhile:
- In a small bowl, very briskly whisk the eggs and flour together. Pretend you’re very angry at the bowl; twenty seconds of whisking as hard and fast as you can should do the trick.Then whisk in the milk, the rest of the butter and kosher salt.
- Pour the batter into the hot casserole dishes and bake for 12 minutes in a gas oven, or 8 minutes in an electric convection oven.
- While Dutch babies are baking, wash strawberries. Stem them if you want. If they’re in season, you won’t need to add sugar to them. Slice a couple of wedges of Meyer lemon, heat up some maple syrup and plate your dish while waiting for the Dutch baby to come out.
- Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately, while the baby is still hot and poofy.

Mr. RGBistro would like to point out that I’m not old enough to know the answer… which he’s right: I didn’t.

WOW that looks so good.
Saturday’s we’re still on the go but Sunday’s are our relaxation day.
We have a Sunday morning routine, my husband and I both prepare breakfast for our family, bacon, eggs, hash browns, toast, fruit platter and coffee…lots of coffee.
Hi Marisa,
Your Sunday routine sounds divine. Send me some of those has browns! [K]
Hi roomie! Thanks for your comment on Food-G. Oh this is lovely. and so my style. Can I come for breakfast? Love what you’ve got going on here. Think I’ll come back regularly to your garden oasis.
Swing by next time you’re in Southern CA! We’ll always have a seat for you. [K]
Your strawberries look so delicious, I can almost taste them.
Saturday morning is my market morning. The wife usually sleeps in while I’m off to the farmer’s market around 8 or 9am to see what’s going to inspire me for the week. Then it’s a lazy breakfast at home.
Unfortunately, it’s already gotten too hot here for much eating out on our deck… it’s often 80-90 degrees out by 11am
You mean the wife won’t come WITH you to the market?!?!?! At least she’s sleeping in.
Stay cool! [K]
Oh my heavens, this looks so delicious! I will be making these on Saturday for breakfast. I’ll let you know how they come out!
That Dutch baby looks fantastic. I’ve never had but am definitely going to try.
Sounds delicious and looks so pretty and inviting. I will be serving them to my out-of-town guests over the July 4th holiday. Thank you for the recipe.
