What are your thoughts on artisan sausages? No, I’m not talking about the statue of David by Michelangelo or the Vitruvian Man by Leonardo da Vinci. (Those are artist’s renditions of sausages and not the same thing…and yes…it was immature of me to go there.) If you’ve been trying to figure out what to cook …
Breakfast
Are You Gonna Quiche Me Or Not?
It is funny how things change over time. Behavior that is normal in one decade may be deemed abnormal the next. My grandparent’s generation had very definite roles for men and women. Women were the caregivers and men were bringing home the bacon. My parents generation started to change the roles with women fighting for …
Luck O’ The Leftovers
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Did you get your fill of corned beef and cabbage? It seems like this year St. Patrick’s “Day” went on for weeks. People seemed to have started the o’chatter very early. (See how I added the o’ to make it more Irish?) I actually find the holiday really amusing because most …
Garlic Rice: Perfect Second Breakfast for Humans and Hobbits
For those of you who don’t live in the Midwest, it is cold here. Really cold. Really, really cold. My body is going into hibernation mode and I just want to eat all the day. Or maybe it isn’t the cold, maybe I have been watching too much of The Hobbit. It seems to be …
Eggs Benedict Arnold
I am a traitor….a dirty, rotten traitor. Now I am not the kind of traitor who switches alliances during a war or the kind who divulges international secrets on the Internet. I’m not even a tattletale or playground snitch. (My sister’s may dispute those claims.) I am a food traitor. My husband, Earl, has been …
Now You Are Speaking My Language
Considering I barely have command of English, it should be no surprise to you that I don’t speak any other languages. Attempts were made in high school to learn French and Spanish but I didn’t absorb much more than learning to ask which way to the bathroom. (If you jump up and down and hold …
Keep The Home Fries Burning
This is the time of year that I get a lot of questions emailed to me. Easy ones like asking for simple appetizers to bring to a cocktail party. Or where do you find certain cooking items. I usually can respond quickly and accurately. (I have also been asked some freaky stuff but I’ll keep …
Eggie Pot Pies
I want to apologize for slowing down on my posts the last few weeks. I have a confession to make….I can’t stand food right now! My Crohn’s is acting up and with that food has become an enemy to me and I just don’t want to think about it. (I now know how Superman felt …
Grrrr-r-reat French Toast (Plus Some Mother’s Day Hotspots)
There are a lot of things I like about going out to breakfast. Most restaurants have some sort of fun dish that I wouldn’t take time to make at home. Or maybe they carry a unique ingredient that is hard to find. But what really gets me excited is when I see something absolutely BONKERS …
EGG-Cellent Day with the Girls
EGG-citing! EGG-traordinary! EGGS-hilerating! EGG-ceptional! Can you guess what I want to talk about today? Yep, EGGS! (I didn’t want to keep cracking you over the head with my puns.) Once a month or so, I get to have one of the best days ever with my girlfriends, Egg Day! The tradition started after our last …
