Chicago Donuts

Chicago Food
Part 3

I haven't been to a donut shop in years, seriously, but while in Chicago, I took the kids out one morning for a stop at the local Dunkin' Donuts.

We ordered some coffees and a few donuts and we all enjoyed the sweet sugar bomb treats for breakfast. Gotta love a fresh made glazed donut

Saturday Breakfast Out

Sutter Street Grill Review

We woke up this morning to a very nice sunrise and good weather and decided to hop on the motorcycle to go get some breakfast on Sutter Street in old town Folsom. We went to an old favorite of ours - The Sutter Street Grill which is located at 811 Sutter St. Folsom, CA (916) 985-4323

As described on the web, Sutter Street Grill is a shabby chic country–style diner where the waitress calls you “honey,” silverware is mismatched and breakfast is the main course. The Folsom favorite has an overwhelming breakfast menu with thick slabs of banana walnut French toast, blueberry flapjacks buried in whip cream or the jailhouse (six pieces of bacon, two sausage links, biscuits and gravy). On weekend mornings and summer days, expect a busy crowd with locals, bicyclist and tourists.

Today Ronda and I split the special which was a sausage, tomato and mushroom omelet that we had them add cheddar cheese too. It was fantastic and even a split plate was a lot to eat - the servings here are outstanding and everything tastes really fresh and really good.

To go with the omelet we had one of their fresh baked cranberry orange muffins, home potatoes, hash browns and an english muffin. They also serve some really good coffee by Pete's Cofffees.

All that food for two (including leftovers and endless coffee refills) cost less then $20 dollars, you can't find a better deal - this is one breakfast place I will always highly recommend - two thumbs up

Go try them out someday soon

A Good Breakfast

Today we awoke to the sound of thunder and a bit of rain pitter pattering on our patio, it is really nice and cool out there right now with the clouds over head and nice breezes cooling down what is supposed to be a very warm day in the mid 90's

Both Ronda and I got up early this morning and we started making our favorite breakfast together...

We started off by boiling some tiny fingerling potatoes that we picked up at the Folsom Farmers Market last Sunday.

After boiling them just a bit, we cut them up and pan fried them with garlic and butter.

The only spice added besides the garlic was our favorite spice mix called Cavenders All Purpose Greek Seasonings

To accompany our breakfast today we made some bacon which also makes for some great left overs in BLT sandwiches later.

The main dish was scrambled eggs with sautéed diced onions, diced fresh picked green bell peppers from our garden, and my personal favorite - sautéed mushrooms.

After the vegi's were nicely cooked, I added the beaten eggs to the mix, cooked them all for a few minutes and viola, the breakfast of champions is ready to eat!

Final product is pictured at the top of this article.

Hope everyone has a great Saturday!
