Weekend breakfast ideas don't always have to be complicated. 😊

I discovered this Healthy Kollu Idli Recipe and found it to be an interesting twist on a familiar South Indian breakfast. Simple, wholesome, and beginner-friendly.

This slow cooker recipe for lemon pepper chicken thighs is gluten-free and full of citrus flavors and savory herbs. This dish is simple and tasty, and it's great for a busy weeknight dinner or a laid-back weekend meal.

Instructions: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, black pepper, and salt. Place chicken thighs in the slow cooker and pour the lemon mixture over them. Ensure chicken is evenly coated. Pour chicken broth into the slow cooker around the chicken thighs. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, or until chicken is tender and cooked through. Once cooked, remove chicken thighs from the slow cooker and serve with your favorite sides.

This Galette with Bourbon Gouda and Smoked Ham is a tasty and savory take on a traditional galette. The bourbon-infused ham, caramelized onions, and melted Gouda cheese make a filling that is rich and flavorful. The flaky puff pastry covers the filling.

Ingredients: 1 sheet of puff pastry. 1/4 cup bourbon. 1 cup shredded Gouda cheese. 1 cup smoked ham, thinly sliced. 1/4 cup caramelized onions. 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped. 1 egg, beaten for egg wash. Salt and black pepper to taste.

Instructions: Turn on your oven and heat it up to 375F 190C. Cut the puff pastry sheet into a big circle. Roll it out on a lightly floured surface. Put the bourbon in a small saucepan and heat it over low heat until it cuts in half. Leave to cool. Leave some space around the edges of the pastry to cover the center with the caramelized onions. Put the crumbled Gouda cheese on top of the onions that have been caramelized. Place the smoked ham slices that are very thin on top of the cheese. Spread the bourbon that has been boiled down over the ham and cheese. Put some chopped fresh parsley on top of the ham. To taste, add salt and black pepper. In order to make a rustic galette, fold the edges of the pastry over the filling. Put pressure on the edges to seal them. For a golden finish, brush the egg wash over the pastry. Place the galette on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. Put it in an oven that has already been heated up and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Take it out of the oven and let it cool down for a few minutes before cutting it. Enjoy while still warm!
