Before I even knew that biscuits and gravy existed there was creamed eggs on toast. White sauce, hard boiled eggs, buttery toast. Simple comfort food perfection, my mother’s childhood favorite passed down to me in soft gestures and self depreciating comments about white food and the midwest. Unlike the Swedish Pancakes or Baked Custard, recipes […]
Topped with fresh berries and brightened up with just a hint of lime zest- this could be breakfast or brunch or a delightful summertime dessert. All of the tender eggy goodness of a swedish pancake but baked in one go on a sheet pan. So no hot stove just bake and go! I was once […]
Bright citrus notes, bold hibiscus color and zest. These soft and sticky buns are made smaller so there’s more of them to share. A warm tropic treat for dark winter days. Citrus Sticky Buns with Hibiscus Cream Cheese Glaze just barely adapted from the Sticky Lemon Rolls recipe on the Kitchn you will need one […]
Fall Tomato Gravy Perfect for ugly fall tomatoes, still juicy but somewhat neglected, weather-worn, nibbled on the edges. There was a story about gravy. Or at least the beginnings of one, the first line bright and tempting. I was in the garden, culling the tomato crop, contemplating what to do with tiny pumpkins, what to […]
You know those sunny bright pictures of families or friends crowded together in a kitchen filled with heaps of vegetables and baskets laden with fresh-baked bread and someone is at the sink and three people are by the stove harmoniously stirring or prepping, laughing, tasting, as the golden sun streams through the window, and […]
Like the time of year that birthed this recipe it is a jumble of comfort, decadence, spice, resolutions, and bacon. The creamy subtly earthy soup, the crispy cheese below, the melty cheese above, a peppery bite of arugula, a sweet salty swirl of bacon jam. Hello breakfast. Hello brunch. Hell no to boring leftovers. […]
Crispy hash browns and buttery shiitake mushrooms layered with fresh chives for a burst of green and soft onion flavor. The eggs are cooked on top so that the whites sneak into the crevices and just begin to crisp. Add some hot sauce and arugula for a one pan meal that fills you up without […]
There is something so satisfying about a deep dish quiche baked in cast iron. The tender crunch of a savory black pepper olive oil crust stuffed with hearty bites of ham and melty sharp cheddar cheese. Simple enough for a week night meal. Impressive enough for guests. Gratifying for even the hungriest diner. Serve with […]
One of my favorite things about cooking is figuring out how to use one ingredient in several dishes. Bake or roast in bulk and then repurpose throughout the week. When I tasted the Roasted Strawberry Balsamic Ciabatta I knew that it would be perfect for french toast. And it is the perfect mix of sweet […]
Thin like crepes, but with more egg and less flour, these delicate and delicious pancakes are the reason I’ve never cared for the classic diner gut buster short stack. I like my syrup where I can see it not swallowed by dough. This is the taste of my childhood, the flavor and feeling of comfort […]
I first had a variation of this years ago at a restaurant in Brooklyn. Over the years it has varied depending on the veggies on hand. Always onion. Red pepper only when organic is on sale. I love the combo of flavors and textures. A little creamy a bit of crunch- heat from the harissa, […]

Because nothing says welcome like the scent of fresh baked goods. Luckily […]
Ah, happy accidents. I knew I wanted to make savory monkeybread. Red and green chilies for the holiday season, perhaps a cornmeal dough to compliment the southwest flavors. The recipe I decided to adapt for the dough was for rolls, I knew there was going to be way more dough than I needed. I’ll […]
