Here’s a simple, satisfying idea for a quick weeknight meal (which is what we chose to do) or a make-ahead Mother’s Day brunch for the upcoming weekend.
Eggs
Gruyere Egg Bake
I made this breakfast bake for a brunch I hosted with several of my friends from the publishing world. Four of my friends, their husbands, and kiddos were some of the first guests David and I have hosted in our apartments. We had three small (but mobile!) infants, a two-year-old, and a four-year-old playing with … Read more
Tofu Pan-Fried Rice
I’m not big on new year’s resolutions, but as we start the new year, I do have one goal that I’d like to work on during the coming months. I’d like to take the flavors of my sauces to a higher level. I hope to learn about new flavors and ingredients and experiment with ways … Read more
Potato and Egg Breakfast Bake
To be honest, David and I have become the team to beat at our local bar’s trivia night. A few weeks ago a question came up about the movie “Drop Dead Gorgeous,” a pretty campy movie starring some kinda (but maybe not really) big-name actresses (Kirsten Dunst, Denise Richards, Kirstie Alley, Amy Adams…) about a … Read more
Bacon & Eggs Risotto
We’ve been basking in gorgeous 70-degree weather for the past couple of days in Boston, and I’ve been enjoying everything that comes with it: drinks outside on a sunny patio, the return of Boston’s bike share program, and commuting to school along the Charles river. But the weather’s dipped back down to the mid-40s and … Read more
Sunny-side up eggs atop baked potato pancakes
Eggs and toast are David and my usual weekend breakfast fare. Every Saturday and Sunday morning we choose between scrambled versus over-easy, toast a couple slices of bread, and put on a pot of coffee. The Recipe Redux challenge for this month is breakfast, so I’ve been experimenting with egg-based dishes on weekend mornings instead. … Read more
Egg Salad on Pumpernickel
It’s funny, I bought this pumpernickel loaf last week to make an entirely different recipe than what I’m posting today. Originally, I planned to write about a very German-sounding meal of pumpernickel-breaded chicken with mustard and cabbage. I did end up making that dish, which was good, but then I made this sandwich with the … Read more
Gruyere & Apple Pear Strata
It’s four weeks in to the start of the semester, and things are starting to ramp up at school. In some ways, it’s really interesting and rewarding: I really like my Medical Nutrition Therapy class (the nitty gritty science) and Nutritional Epidemiology. But in other ways (exams, projects, presentations), it’s exhausting. Which is why I … Read more
Soba noodles with asparagus and prosciutto
Eggs on top of pasta and other starches is one of my favorite things to eat. The taste of runny egg yolks sopped up with buttered toast is amazing, so translating that same idea to dinner, with the addition of other fresh and savory ingredients is perfect. Living in the North End, I’m lucky enough … Read more
