This winter has been "If you don't like the weather, wait an hour and it'll change" kind of winter. This time last week it was cold and rainly the beach; this week, I had to run some errands a few miles inland and it was 97F! 81 here at the beach. Back to regular seasonal weather for the weekend.

I picked Breakkfast for Dinner recipe this week; I'm overdue for one. First up, one of my favorites, a seafood quiche. I love quiche but almost never make it, because Jim doesn't like it. I need to learn to make smaller ones that I can have over a couple of meals.

Next, a sumptuous crabmeat omelette from the Galatoire's family cookbook; serve it with a salad or some roasted spring asparagus if you can find it. And finally, my brunch go-to, a Benedict, but this one has a boudin patty instead of ham. I've had them with crab cakes and shrimp cakes, also. All good.

Enjoy these recipes, stay safe and healthy, and, as always, let me know what's on your mind.

140+ recipes, all but a handful with lush photography, all tried and tested-- and tasted!

Bayou Shrimp Quiche

This one stretches my rule of 1 hour or less for a weeknight recipe, but most of the time allocated is the baking time, leaving you free to get some nightly chores taken care of. The recipe makes two, so freeze one or share one-- or halve the recipe.

Galatoire's Crabmeat Omelette

If you don't have your Sunday brunch reservation made, add this recipe from the family cookbook to your menu, and enjoy Galatoire's at home. If your omelette game is on point, it's an easy dish to get on the table.

Boudin Benedict

If, like me, a Benedict is more your choice for a decadent brunch, go for this one from my friend chef Chris Montero. You can prep everything the night before, leaving the shaped boudin patties refrigerated overnight-- there's even a tip on poaching the eggs in advance and reheating in simmering water.
