Crab Cakes and Eggs
My Crab Cakes and Eggs Recipe is a unique take on the brunch classic. For my brunch series I wanted to create fun and delicious recipes that would excite any brunch guest. Taking inspiration from steak and eggs, I fried up deliciously crisp crab cakes paired with a hot sauce remoulade. Then add a sunny side up eggs to bring the crab cakes and eggs together.

Cornbread and Gravy: A Southern Style Breakfast
My Cornbread and Gravy recipe is a masterful ode to breakfast of the south. If you haven't figured it out already, I am a huge fan of breakfast and the south knows how to make a great one. This recipe is a play on biscuits and gravy. But my cornbread and gravy recipe has a twist, making a delicious sweet and crunchy base for a flavorful sausage gravy.

Shrimp and Grits: New York Style
My Shrimp and Grits: New York Style are not your southern style shrimp and grits! Mostly because I’ve never had actual grits, but I still love the idea. My Shrimp and Grits: New York Style still keeps the integrity of the classic recipe. With perfectly seasoned shrimp and creamy mashed corn. Then to bring it a real brunch flare, I top my New York Style Shrimp and Grits with crispy bacon.
