Fried Egg And Vegetable Biryani

My favorite lunch of the week…

One White Oak Pastures egg makes this simple dish something special. Rich, savory, spicy rice blended with plenty of vegetables, that’s a rice dish I want to eat. Emphasis on rich, this could be slimmed down a bit by substituting low fat […]

Apple Cake With Rum

Everything about this cake is simply lovely. From the sweet smell of the batter to the scent that fills the house as it bakes, this is one lovely cake. And, it’s incredibly quick and easy to prepare, too.

Simple desserts just don’t get any better than this. On […]

Fried Eggs On Rice Cakes

Rice Cakes On The Griddle

Ever since high school, I’ve loved these rice cakes. This is a great, tasty way to use up leftover rice. Or, the rice left over from take-out. Over the years, […]

Banana French Toast Omlette

I love eggs.

Both as an ingredient and as a focal point. Eggs are incredibly versatile. Cooked each and every way, I love them. Though, I am partial to a beautifully sunny side up egg. Sometimes, you want to mix things up a bit. Variety is the spice […]

Masa Real — Version Two

This version is a bit more tender, soft, and fluffier than a traditional Masa Real. I love both versions. But, I must confess, this version is my current favorite.

Masa Real

8 Tablespoons butter, soft 2 eggs 1/4 cup sour cream 1 1/4 cups of sugar […]

Squash Blossoms

Male Squash Blossoms

These beautiful blossoms were jam-packed into a plastic wrapped container and slightly wilted. But, they weren’t bruised. (If they’re bruised, they won’t perk up as prettily.) And, for about $2 they were easily worth the minimal investment of time and effort.

Sauteed Kale

Sautéed kale finds its way to our table much (MUCH) more frequently than spinach. Those big bags of prepped kale are so temptingly easy. Sometimes I’ll chop it up a bit more into a fine, but rustic dice. Other times I’ll leave it in the big sloppy pieces that are […]

Leftovers Migas

Black Krim From The Garden

Gorgeous tomatoes picked fresh out of the garden demand attention. It would be a crime to hide their beauty. So, with a little thought, we decided migas would make the perfect companion. Even better, this is a great way to put some leftovers […]

Spicy Fried Rice

Crispy bits of smoky bacon spiced up this simple version of spicy fried rice. This serves two very hungry adults. For a lighter meal, measure out one cup of rice per person. Then, top each serving with one fried egg. Save the leftover rice (about 1 cup) for another meal.
