Our old neighbors brought us some fresh eggs from their chickens Friday night! Because these eggs are super special, I decided to make a fancy breakfast with them. My mom made us these eggs when Cooper was just a wee baby and I’ve thought about them ever since. The herbs, cheese and garlic are a wonderful addition to the eggs. You will delight in spearing the yolk with your toast because the combo creates a whole new dimension of garlic bread! Oooey gooey garlic bread!
I am totally jumping on the band wagon here and I really think you should too! Have you been seeing baked kale chips all over the internet like I have? There’s definitely a good reason for the buzz. I finally made some today and I have to say that kale chips are exceptional! They are healthy AND crunchy, which equates to a guiltless snack.
Ever had broccoli rabe? Do you like the taste of dried toasted seaweed? You are in luck!
Totally disgusted? Don’t make them! Go away!
Intrigued? DO IT. Come on! CONTINUE READING
I am not going to get wordy on this post. Just let the pictures speak for themselves.
Biscuits this good should be illegal. The addition of cheddar to the dough makes them utterly amazing.
The flavor? All I can say that it reminds me of a Cheez-It crossed with a buttery flaky biscuit.
Tangy, flaky, buttery goodness marbled with shreds of cheddar. Best when served hot!
I can’t wait until you taste the bottom edge. You will thank me & Ina Garten for bringing this to your attention.
Take a look at the three stars of this recipe! Buttermilk, sharp cheddar and butter! CONTINUE READING
Could we possibly add more fruit to this concoction? My juicer sighs “Please no!”
I have to tell you that the kiwi and the mango are the real stars of this juice. They are thick, pulpy fruits that create quite a *sludge* in the juicer. What comes from them is not just juice; it’s more like a jammy nectar! When you add them to the pear and mandarin oranges you get a really thick juice. A juice that will make you feel like you are in Hawaii. A juice that is BEGGING for a decorative paper umbrella to accompany it! CONTINUE READING
Vegans & vegetarians please divert your eyes. In fact, you might as well skip this post since it’s all about meat. There’s a lovely shot of coleslaw though! And that recipe is pretty awesome!
I don’t really eat much meat anymore. It adds a huge weight to our grocery bill so I’ve been supplementing with beans and the like. Every now and then I get a craving for meat so I give in; this always makes the boys I feed SUPER happy.
Hi you!
Hope you had a very nice Valentine’s day!
Ours was a day of overindulging!
Casey gave me my own copy of A Homemade Life: Stories and Recipes from my Kitchen Table and panda card!
The card gave me permission to overindulge yesterday so I did!
It’s a good thing I have my own copy now because I spilled a little butter on the library copy! Woops! CONTINUE READING
I just finished reading A Homemade Life: Stories and Recipes from my Kitchen Table, by Molly Wizenburg. Wow…just wow! What a lovely food memoir. I devoured it whole and it’s haunted me in such a good way. Every recipe has a story behind it. A tradition. It makes me think of all of the recipes that I hold so dear. The ones that came from the women of my family…and the ones that I hope to impart on my children some day. Food has the power to bring people closer together and because I am half Italian I live by that.
I had a good laugh at the tale of her husband and his maple syrup loving habits. Mine looooves anything maple syrup related. You would be surprised at how fast he can polish off a box of maple candies. It’s the New England gene in him. He was born to love it. He doesn’t go as far as Buddy the Elf…but if I was gone for the weekend, I am pretty sure he’d be putting syrup on everything. CONTINUE READING
