Ooh! Aah!
I cooked my brains out this weekend and loved every minute of it. See Saturday’s results – icy cold gazpacho, as well as poached eggs over potato pancakes – below. Both are new favorites, and why not? Crunchy, creamy, salty. Pretty much everything I crave. So where, you might wonder, are the pics of Sunday’s pork…
Summer Saturday Lunch: Gazpacho, and Poached Eggs Over Potato-Green Pepper Pancakes
Have I got a gazpacho recipe for you. This version is smooth and creamy (without cream), made crunchy with a garnish of minced cucumber, green pepper, tomato, and croutons. Serve it icy cold for summer in a bowl. Or cup – sip it while you fry a few potato…
Fresh Cherry Galette – Failed Yet Fabulous
I had high hopes for this quick little galette. What’s not to love about fresh cherries in a flaky, buttery crust? It looked so perfect when I slid it into the oven, plump and sweet and full of promise. But when the timer went off and I opened the…
Spaghetti Carbonara…Sort Of
As you might have noticed, I’ll eat eggs with pretty much anything. Polenta, potatoes, bread, bread crumbs, salad, tomatoes, soup, on and on. Take it from a former egg hater – eggs elevate all of these dishes from something ordinary to sublime. For pennies. For around 75 calories. So lovely. This dish is a sort-of…
Miso-Glazed Fish
Salmon on the grill is hard to beat right now – the heat stays outside and so does the mess. Pretty perfect in my book. This miso glaze is easy and beyond delicious. I can’t decide what’s most appealing about miso – the quick flavor it adds to dishes, the fact that it packs big…
One of my Favorite Summer Dishes: Saute of Tomatoes and Okra with Bacon
Since I’m about as northern as they come (I’ve spent my whole life in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and North Dakota), I never knew how much I like fresh okra. But oh do I like it, it’s become one of my very favorite vegetables, especially in this simple, pretty saute. There’s nothing slimy about this dish –…
Salad Lyonnaise: Salad with Poached Egg and Bacon
I’ll keep this simple. I made this version of Salad Lyonnaise for dinner tonight, for John, for Father’s Day, and it was sublime. If you want to go to the recipe after the video, click on the “article” link. If you take nothing else away from this demonstration, let it be how incredibly easy it…
Strawberry-Rhubarb Buttermilk Pudding Cake
My friend Susie & I headed back to the Minneapolis Farmer’s Market this morning. This time we chose a Saturday so we could breakfast on a bratwurst (relish, mustard, thank you) while scoping out the bounty. We snagged pea pods, green beans, okra, cherry tomatoes, asparagus, dried black lentils, kale, and pork sausage. Suz was…
Father’s Day…Brunch!
If the father in your life loves a good barbecue, then by all means grill away. I’m right there with him. But if you’re looking for a new twist…how about brunch? (That’s my Daddy-O, with me the day I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and my no-longer-so-little sis Etta.) My husband (painting above by…
Newly Minted: Almond-Mint Pesto, Gin & Tonic with Grapefruit & Mint
If mint over-runneth your garden – chives too, for that matter – then this pesto is for you. It’s surprisingly mild, luscious with toasted almonds and olive oil (no cheese). It makes a quick, lovely dinner, especially tossed with fresh tomatoes (as written) or a handful or two of your favorite lightly sauteed vegetables. (My…
