An easy way to get veggies into breakfast - use dosa batter!
My son wanted an uttapam with his breakfast. No problem! I was able to get coriander and tomatoes in without any protest!

Puff pastry for the win!
I was strapped for time and needed to host 25 people of all different ages. I saw all these great puff pastry tarts via NYTimes cooking and decided to try my own.
