Breakfast & Brunch

As it turns out, the term “cowboy breakfast” originated in the old west during the time of the American frontier.  The original frontiersmen and women and cowboys were hard working folks and needed a hearty, rib-sticking breakfast to get them through long days working out on the cattle drive or ranch.

They've been called Johnny Cakes, Shawnee Cakes, Hoe Cakes and more. These little pancake-style cornmeal forward patties have been ever popular in the Northeastern part of the country since the early days of European settlement. Most famous in Rhode Island, there's so many different recipe interpretations with some being flatter, fluffier and closer to cornbread than an actual pancake.

Amazing that it's even called "French Toast" as French Toast wasn't even created in France! In fact, it was created well before France even existed! Did you realize? All I know is I'm grateful the Romans, yes the Romans were thoughtful enough to design a recipe to utilize bread from the day before in a way that we consider and appreciate to be a staple on so many breakfast menus
