Egg Fu Yung
Yesterday at the office we celebrated The Egg. With Brunch. We called it our Good Friday Eggstravaganza. I’m sure you’re picking up on the fact that we love to cook and bake and eat together, it’s how we Share the Love. All while working hard to meet a sales goal. It’s a delicate balance but one we manage quite well. Continue reading »

Maple Horseradish Glazed Salmon.
Discovering the incredible flavor pairing of maple and horseradish changed my culinary world….or has at least inspired several really delicious dishes. We have used this Maple Horseradish Glaze recipe on roasted beets, baby carrots, salmon suckers, and now glazed salmon fillets. Frankly, it’s so scrumptious I would even enjoy it over vanilla ice cream. Continue reading »

I came home from work on Friday night raving about this Tres Leches Cake that one of my co-workers shared with us (Happy Birthday Mel). I mean this cake stopped you in your tracks. Four layers of sweet milk cake with… Wait this is a Blackberry Buttermilk Cobbler post. Sorry. Continue reading »

Eggs Baked in…
And I’m sold. That’s all I need to hear and I’m all in.
Eggs baked in that spaghetti squash that’s been patiently waiting in the pantry for her time to shine, is just plain brilliant. Thank you to The Urban Poser for coming up with this one. Continue reading »

Salmon & Asparagus Quiche is definitely the best way I’ve incorporated leftovers into a dish in a long time. Asparagus is so beautiful right now that I had to buy two bunches. One I used in an Asparagus & Goat Cheese Tart. And one I served along side a gorgeous piece of baked salmon. There was just enough of both leftover to make a two person Salmon & Asparagus Quiche.

I wanted to share one more Winter Thyme Spice Exploration dish before I mentally checked into Spring. When I discovered Kefta Mkaouara, a traditional Moroccan tagine dish, it offered all the right components. Lovely spices, fresh herbs, wonderfully seasoned mini-meatballs, and poached eggs all slow cooked in glorious tomato and olive sauce in our new Tagine. Beautiful. Continue reading »

Sage Brown Butter Popcorn
Forgive me ladies for what I’m about to say, but I’ve found it to be true. Men make better popcorn. Which tells me there’s a bit of science involved. This post is not about how to make popcorn, but instead a new way to enjoy it. Continue reading »

It’s St. Patrick’s Day! How does one day draw in sooo many people?
Beer.
AND that we’re a melting pot society…who wants to claim to be Irish at least one day a year :)
St. Patrick’s Day seems to span across continents, dialects, and generations. We’re looking for permission to drink. Beer. And make Irish Soda Bread…so we can turn it into Patty Melts on St. Paddy’s Day. That’s my theory. And the St. Patty’s Melt was born. Continue reading »

Brown Butter Irish Soda Bread {with Rosemary & Cracked Black Pepper}
As St. Patrick’s Day entered the radar of food bloggers and the like, the recipe sharing became fast and furious. I couldn’t have imagined Guinness could find it’s way into breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert….but alas it’s been done. Wonderful dishes rich in flavor yet not overdone. I suspect that holds true for Ireland herself. I never question the authenticity of a dish, purely because I love to experiment with recipes and expect others do as well. Let that be the lead in to this not so traditional Brown Butter Irish Soda Bread with Rosemary & Cracked Black Pepper. Continue reading »
