Peperonata Potatoes
I had some peperonata rustica (recipe from Keller’s Ad Hoc) and some leftover potatoes sitting in the fridge from last night’s dinner and so I just put them together for a very simple brunch this morning. I served it with poached eggs and sprinkle of Manchego and it was absolutely one of my most favorite brunch [...]
Baked Oatmeal Cinnamon Buns
I have a new “thing” (shall we say), with oatmeal. I get about two or three thousand emails every day, all of which relate to food, recipes and blogging. One of these emails mentioned the word “oats” and I’ve been obsessed hyper focused on the subject ever since. Am I too easily inspired? Maybe. Am I weird? Well, there’s [...]
Banana Chocolate Chunk Peanut Butter Muffins
I decided early this morning that it must be warm enough to go outside by now and so we dressed and headed out the door only to be sorely reminded that it is not, in fact, warm enough for the playground… at all. The slide was still frozen, the ground was icy and wet and we were chilled to the [...]
Crimson Crepes Fines Sucree
I tend to hibernate during this time of year. Not in the sleeping sense; But, rather in the “I don’t want to go anywhere because it’s cold and snowing and everyone’s sneezing and coughing all over the place” sense. I prefer to take care of my sick kids and husband, (they’re always sick [...]
Mini Quiches
My boys won’t eat quiche. I’m not sure if the problem is in the name alone or that they don’t like anything made with visible eggs, but either way, there’s more for me I’m ok with that. This mini quiche recipe makes five (yes, only five and exactly five) mini vegetarian crustless quiches packed with golden melted onions, baby broccoli [...]
Basics V: Country Bread and Butter
‘Tis the season to be jolly, right? So, why then is everyone always stressed out about money and scheduling and wrapping and everything else that goes into seasonal bliss? Or, is it just me? I’ve been gone for the last week, unpacking decorations, budgeting, planning and pretty much anxiously awaiting the arrival of some much [...]
Pie Crust: Basics III
If there’s a massive frozen turkey sitting in your freezer and you plan to cook it for Thanksgiving, you should probably go ahead and start thawing. I also recommend brining it in a flavored, non-acidic salt solution. I don’t claim expertise in the meat department, of course, but I do know that a bloated turkey will [...]
Weathering the Storm with Sourdough
After days of battling grocery crazed mobs we were finally home, as ready as possible for whatever was about to hit us. It was Tuesday afternoon when the lights first flickered and shortly after, a booming explosion erupted from about a block away and we were in the dark. It was the fist time our [...]
Pumpkin Muffins with Pumpkin Pie Cream Cheese Frosting
Forgive all the fall pumpkin posts, but pumpkin muffins are imperative in October. Besides, when it looks like this outside, it’s difficult not to get into the spirit of fall and Halloween. Isn’t it just beautiful? I’ve lived here for over two years now and views of peak season take my breath away every year. The [...]
Apple Streusel Crisp Cups
Look at them with all their luscious buttery cinnamon sugared deliciousness. I’m warning you now, these are not for the weak willed. They are portion controlled for a reason. It all started when I had a craving for coffee cake that lingered in my head for too long and became a bit twisted. I thought about [...]
