Smoked Salmon, Dill and Goat Cheese Frittata
Some days, I write and write and write. I think Sunday was one of those days. But today, I just want to share a delicious recipe with you. On Easter, I wanted a special frittata to grace the table and this was the result. I used the Joy of Cooking method, adapted slightly, to craft [...]
Easy Broccoli Quiche
It has taken me years – years - to get to a point where I consistently make the effort to eat breakfast. The morning meal and I have just never been bosom buds. In the mornings, I am not really that into cooking. I just to burn everything I tried to cook before noontime (fortunately, [...]
Blue Cheese Souffle
Souffle. It’s one of those words that conjures up notions of complexity and difficulty. It just sounds so fussy. But with some cheese begging to be used and egg whites calling my name, I decided to bite the bullet and try Blue Cheese Souffle from Barefoot in Paris, one of Ina Garten‘s cookbooks and the [...]
How To Make Poached Eggs

Don’t Knock It Till You’ve Tried It: Quick Ham and Cheese Quiche
Me: I’m thinking of making a quiche with the leftover ham for breakfast tomorrow. Shawn: A quiche? (crinkles nose) Am I even going to like that? Me: I don’t see why you wouldn’t. It’s just eggs, ham and cheese. Shawn: That’s all? Me: Yes, that’s it. I can’t believe you’ve never had one before [...]
Ham and Lavender Hash
For once, I planned this breakfast menu days in advance. It actually started with the biscuit. When I saw the recipe on A Year in Bread, I knew it was something I had to try (particularly since I’ve had a monster craving for biscuits this pregnancy). But what to pair with it? Being that it’s [...]
