Simple and tasty food.
I am not sure how I would survive without eggs. Obviously I bake a lot, but I also rely on eggs for a lot of my meals. A fried egg and butter sauteed kale is one my favorite quick lunches. Baked eggs with toast or a chive and cheese omelet are great meals when I am in a hurry. Frittata however is one of my favorite meals with eggs, as it …
Cauliflower is now trendier than kale. I am kind of pleased by this. Much as I like kale, I won’t miss that awful ‘cabbagey’ smell you get with cooked kale. I feel like every restaurant I walked into last year smelled of kale. It’s kind of how I imagined Ireland smelled in the 1940’s, when all they had was kale and potatoes as vegetables.
As St. Patrick ’s Day is coming up I thought I would share a traditional Irish soda bread recipe. For me, soda bread is one of Ireland’s best recipes. For one, it is probably the easiest bread you will ever make. You don’t need any special flour, there is no yeast or proving involved, it takes minutes to make and less than an hour to cook.
One my favorite tea time suppers is a simple boiled egg and toasted soldiers. It’s easy, tasty, and such comfort food. It’s also nostalgic, and reminds me of being a child, enjoying the wonder of small toasted soldiers.
This salad is like summer on a plate. We recently took a visit to Lake Chelan in Eastern Washington, and it reminded me of the south of France as we drove by so many cherry orchards with glistening red cherries hanging from the trees.
This quiche tasted so good, that I just had to have a glass of wine with it. This particular recipe takes quiche to a whole new level. Just imagine it – crisp, buttery pastry, layers of soft, sweet, caramelized onions and finally some delicious, nutty Gruyere cheese with pillow soft eggs.
