Spinach Soufflé
Fluffy and delicious! Last night I made Spinach Soufflé for dinner because I happen to have way too many eggs on hand. I have made many cheese soufflés in my day, but never with spinach. It was really good and even my daughter, Zoe, liked it. My youngest refused to participate in such a suspicious […]

An Egg-cellent Breakfast! Lately, every time I go to the supermarket they are giving away a dozen eggs. I have about 4 cartons of eggs in the fridge. Fortunately, I have a breakfast to deliver for a meeting and I found a recipe that calls for 10 eggs! I am, of course, using some of […]

Wake UP and Smell the Coffee!!!! I have started to make big breakfasts every morning for the family. One day we had pancakes, bacon and sausage, the next oatmeal and tomorrow we are having breakfast burritos. I think kids need a good breakfast before school. Let’s see how long this lasts – I’m not exactly […]

McBreakfast Okay, I’m going to come clean. I love Egg McMuffins. To me, it’s the perfect breakfast, everything contained in the middle of an English muffin – protein and carbs. I also make them at home and can never quite get the egg in the shape of the muffin (I like my eggs scrambled). So […]

I guess I should book weekend at Schrute Farms. “Schrute Farms is the number one beet-related agrotourism destination in Northeastern Pennsylvania. We offer the finest accommodations […]

The book is a series of short pieces on food and wine. She is described as the woman who became Britain’s greatest 20th-century cookery writer. The BBC […]

There are many ways to hard boil eggs. I think my method is food-proof! Put the desired number of eggs in a sauce pan, cover them with cold water. Turn the heat on high until it’s boiling. Let the eggs boil for 1 minute. Next, turn off the burner and cover the pot and time […]

Green Eggs Ma’am? I know this is a bit of a stretch, but this is always a crowd pleaser. It’s basically devilled eggs, but done with avocado. It’s green and if you add a piece of pimento, quite holiday-ish looking. Eggs Mimosa 12 hard boiled eggs, peeled 2 ripe avocados 1 garlic clove, crushed 1 […]

Spaghetti alla Carbonara by Luigi Boccia For some reason I was in the mood for Spaghetti Carbonara last night. I suppose this mood strikes me often. I get the feeling that this entry will be long winded! Every time I have Spaghetti Carbonara, I get a warm glow. Mainly, because it reminds me of my […]

Feather-Weight Rellenos Okay, I know I said I wouldn’t bring up Hatch Chiles again!! Sorry, but this is too good. Over the weekend, I went to my friend Chris’s house (she is one of my favorite foodies to hang out with) to deliver her 10 pounds of Hatch Chiles. She invited me for breakfast and […]
