Two Latkes, Two Fried Eggs - Feast Your Eyes

As much as we've enjoyed the extravagant holiday feasting, simplicity is also deliciously alluring, particularly in this "two eggs, two latkes" dish by Flickr user Mr Atrocity.

In a heartier take on eggs on toast, swap bread for heftier taters for a more substantial breakfast -- with the crunch and creamy interior of fresh potato pancakes topped with the protein-packed runny egg yolk, you may never want to return to a bread-and-butter base. Perfect your classic latkes with Michael Symon's tips -- or if you're feeling fancy, Giada De Laurentiis' Parmesan Potato Pancakes with basil should provide your tastebuds with a fresh start for the day.

Feast for the New Year - Rosh Hashana Recipes

Tonight marks the beginning of the Jewish new year -- Rosh Hashana -- and with that, a whole new cycle of holidays and special meals to go with it (in case you need another reason to justify that trip to Whole Foods).

This celebration involves quite a few riffs on the ever-popular salty-sweet flavor pairing. The sweetness in honey, apples, pomegranates and dates are added to many Rosh Hashana dishes and is often offset by the rich, savory taste of brisket or chicken.

It's tradition to begin ringing in Rosh Hashana with sliced apples and honey -- like a toast to a sweet new year. No recipe needed here, just hit up your farmer's market for some tart, crisp apples (try Macoun) and local honey.

Loaded Latkes - Feast Your Eyes

As we transition from summer to fall, it's the perfect time to pair prime vegetables from each season.

And these zucchini, potato and scallion pancakes from Rec(ession)ipes beautifully capture the colors of autumn, while sneaking in the last tastes of summer. Pan-fried and topped with a dollop of chive sour cream, a glimpse at these almost makes up for the fact that we'll be seeing a lot less of the sun for a while. Almost.

A Very Ted Allen Christmas

Potato LatkesEveryone has their Christmas morning traditions. When I was a kid, we couldn't open any of our gifts (OK, maybe our stockings) until mom had had her first cup of coffee. I don't really have any traditions or rules like that anymore, because I have my own place now and I go over to my sister's house later in the day and exchange gifts and she usually cooks, but a lot of people have certain things they always eat or drink on Christmas morning, even beyond the coffee you have in the morning or the turkey you have for dinner.

In the December issue of Bon Appetit, Ted Allen gives his menu for a Christmas brunch that could become a new tradition in your home. He starts with a Citrus Fruit Salad. Actually, maybe he starts with the Gazpacho Bloody Marys! Then you can go on to the Potato Latkes with Smoked Salmon, Caviar, and Tarragon Creme Fraiche, and maybe some Sticky Bun Bread Pudding.
