Baked Eggs with Roasted Garlic, Tomatoes and Basil
These eggs remind me of summer. Sweet fresh tomatoes are encircled with the brilliant flavor of fresh basil. There’s slightly sweet roasted garlic, which I have been obsessed with lately, blended with rich heavy cream — a nod to winter. And the warmth of the baked dish make it perfect for a chilly morning. Or [...]
Roasted Two Potato and Chicken Sausage Hash with Poached Egg
When I look at this photo, all I can think is good morning. It’s so inviting. All the contrasting textures and flavors … Wait. Let me tell you about it. Looking is one thing, but hearing is a whole other. The simple roasted potatoes — both russet and sweet varieties — seasoned only with a [...]
Korean-Inspired Rice Bowl (A Bi Bim Bap Wanna-Be Dish)
The first time I set foot on Barnard College’s campus, I fell instantly in love. At the time, I was living near Lincoln Center, amid the hustle-bustle of the city. I loved that area, and couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. But when I emerged from the subway at 116th Street, it was like walking into [...]
Spinach and Cheddar Egg White Omelet
Over the past few years, I have made a big effort to eat breakfast. And lately, that has turned into an effort to eat a good, nutritious breakfast. Somewhere along the way, I stopped hating most eggs, and started really enjoying them in a variety of forms. But I couldn’t seem to get on the [...]
Two Cheese Baked Eggs in Tomatoes For Two
In the summertime, we eat only fresh tomatoes — tiny ones that the kids pick directly from the vines on our backyard. Giant heirlooms from local organic farms. Red ones, orange ones, yellow ones and green ones … Sometimes it’s just plain. Sometimes with a little sprinkle of salt. Sometimes with cheese and vinaigrette. Yes, [...]
Ham, Cheddar and Poached Egg Pita Breakfast Sandwich
When I order a breakfast sandwich, I want it to be messy. Back when I worked for a big publisher, the chef who did breakfast in the office cafeteria would always crack the egg yolk with the side of his spatula when cooking my ham, egg and cheese. It drove me bonkers. I like the [...]
Swiss and Roasted Asparagus Omelet
When I went on vacation with my friend’s family as a teen, I was nervous. I wanted to be the model guest. So, I was well-behaved and had good manners, but I still felt nervous — especially when it came to ordering food. Maybe it was silly to be so concerned about, but I worried [...]
Roasted Asparagus Salad Recipe
I love this salad. I love this salad. I love this salad. Should I say it one more time? I think so. I love this salad. All in all, this can be made in about 20 minutes (as long as you get the egg and the asparagus going at the same time), perfect for lunch [...]
Blue Cheese and Caramelized Shallot Quiche Recipe
Last night, after a rushed day, my husband and I did something together that doesn’t happen enough these days: we power-cleaned the house. In short order, my office was transformed from neglected storage space to usable thinking space. By the time we were done, the bathrooms were sparkling and the living room picked up. It [...]
Bacon and Bell Pepper Breakfast Quesadilla
If Will had his way, we’d eat Blueberry and White Chocolate Buttermilk Pancakes every single morning. Actually, scratch the ‘we’ – he’d eat the whole batch himself every day. Not that I can blame him … they are delish. But could we really eat pancakes daily? My schedule and waistline say no way, so I [...]
